This charming Grade II Listed cottage, Hope Cottage, dates back to the late-17th century and has been lovingly preserved and renovated by the current owners. The black-and-white timbered façade and thatched roof blend seamlessly with modern touches, making it an idyllic rural retreat. The spacious kitchen/family room is the hub of day-to-day life, with a beautiful L-shaped kitchen, flagstone floor tiles, and a vaulted ceiling. The property features four lovely bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en-suite shower room, and a detached double garage/car-port with a one-bedroom/bathroom annexe above. The cottage sits on a quiet lane with a quarter-of-an-acre of hedged and fenced gardens, perfect for a family with older children or downsizers seeking a peaceful country retreat.
