Property description

A Grade II Listed brick under slate three bedroom detached estate cottage overlooking the central green, with a rear garden, off street parking and outbuildings.

Hulcote is the estate village attached to Easton Neston, with its Baroque country house designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor. 1 Hulcote retains period features, including the distinctive chequered external brickwork and gothic revival windows, in common with the other cottages that stand on the eastern and southern sides of the green. The approximately 1,375 sq. ft. of accommodation, arranged over two floors, comprises an entrance porch, leading into the kitchen with its walk-in pantry, an inner hall with the staircase and cloakroom, and the sitting and dining rooms. A landing accesses the three first floor double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The two front bedrooms are partially vaulted and both have fitted wardrobes or storage. Bedroom three is at the rear overlooking the garden and is currently used as a study. There is a refitted three piece family bathroom with a WC with a concealed system, a wash basin with storage beneath, and a panel bath with a shower.

Ground Floor

The entrance is via a rear door to a glazed timber porch with an internal door to the kitchen which has a separate walk-in pantry. The dining room is at the front of the property and like the sitting room overlooks the green. It has an open fireplace with a wood surround and tiled insets. The dual aspect sitting room has a bay window at the side, in addition to the gothic window at the front, and a fireplace with an inset wood burning stove and a quarry tiled hearth. The inner hall has a cloakroom leading off and a cupboard housing the gas fired boiler that was renewed in 2023.

Outside

Parking at the side of the property has space for two cars (built and maintained by the vendors with the consent of the estate who own this land). Double gates in a picket fence access the lawned garden (and previous parking area) with a central path to the rear porch. There is a gravelled seating area and two brick outbuildings. The larger vaulted 'barn' has power connected and mezzanine storage, creating a workshop and storage space. A separate hand gate on the other side of the property leads to the green.
