Property description

An early 19th-century four bedroom detached cottage with gardens and a private driveway ahead of a double garage with a studio room above, facing Hulcott village green.

Manor Cottage is situated in the village of Hulcott with views over the green towards the church at the front and open fields to the rear. In the early 1900s, this cottage was the village shop and it has been subsequently extended and now has over 2,100 sq. ft. of accommodation set over two floors. On the ground floor there are four separate reception rooms, a conservatory, a kitchen/breakfast room, and a cloakroom. Four bedrooms lead off the first floor landing, one of which is en suite and there is a family bathroom. In addition to the established cottage gardens, the property retains period features, including beams and fireplaces, and has been modernised with contemporary bathrooms and a fully refitted contemporary kitchen with double doors to the modern conservatory. Electric gates open into an enclosed driveway with parking for up to five cars in addition to the detached double garage.

Ground Floor

A vestibule opens to a cloakroom and a built-in shelved cupboard, and has a door to the quarry tiled drawing room, with stairs to the first floor, and further doors to the dual aspect sitting room and the dining room. The sitting room has a brick fireplace with a stone tiled hearth, and an exposed brick wall, with exposed beams that are a feature throughout the ground floor. The dining room leads to the study and the kitchen/breakfast room which has glazed double doors to the conservatory and a stable door to the kitchen garden. Appliances include an AGA range over, with space for a dishwasher, a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher.

Parking for five cars on a private block paved driveway is accessed via electric gates and two pedestrian gates. The gardens are laid to lawn and back onto farmland. There is a paved patio, flower and shrub borders, mature trees, and a cobblestone path to the front door.
