Description

Hope Cottage is a bright and well presented Cotswold cottage in a quiet and peaceful location making the most of the wonderful far-reaching westerly views. Deceptively spacious, this property has been lovingly renovated and updated by the current owners over the last 20 years. A front porch on the ground floor leads directly into the double fronted sitting and dining room with exposed stone walls, beams and fireplaces offering a large and flexible, open-plan living and entertaining space. Off this is a hallway leads to both the downstairs shower room and modern fitted kitchen. The kitchen was remodelled to accommodate double doors out to a lower courtyard with a useful store and steps up to the main garden. On the first floor is a large dual aspect principal bedroom, 2nd bedroom (currently used as the home office) and the family bathroom. At the rear adjacent to the bathroom is an additional reception room with steps and double doors leading out to the main patio. This room offers the flexibility to be used as a study/snug/garden room/5th bedroom. On the landing there is also a useful and sizeable airing/store cupboard. A large landing on the 2nd floor leads to two further characterful double bedrooms with large velux windows, vaulted ceilings and beams.
The delightful rear garden has been cleverly landscaped to provide several tiers providing different seating/entertaining areas taking advantage of the incredible views. There is also a lawned area, a pond, thoughtfully planted and mature borders and a large shed hidden on the top level tier of the garden. This area would lend itself well to an additional home office/gym in the the most quiet and secluded of spots.
There is off street parking for 3 cars - 1 to the side and 2 opposite the property.
