Description - Hope Cottage represents an outstanding example of an exceptionally well-presented Grade II listed character cottage, sympathetically improved in recent years to create a spacious and well-appointed family home. Believed to date in part from the 16th century, with later extensions added most likely in the early Victorian period, the property retains a wealth of period charm and original features including Inglenook fireplaces with bread ovens, exposed beams, original doors, and sections of exposed floorboards. Externally there is ample parking, private gardens, useful outbuildings and a superb’ Vine Room’. This is certainly a property that needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.
