Property description

A Grade II listed brick under slate three bedroom detached estate cottage on 0.23 acres overlooking a 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. 3 Hulcote retains period features, including the distinctive chequered external brickwork and gothic revival windows, in common with the other cottages which stand on the eastern and southern sides of the green. The accommodation comprises a sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, three double bedrooms and a shower room. There is a gravelled driveway at the side of the property with parking for two cars and gated access to the rear garden.

Ground Floor

The front door opens to a small entrance hall and there is also a back door from the kitchen/breakfast room. The sitting and dining rooms are to the front of the property and share a dual aspect wood burning stove set into an exposed brick chimney breast. The refitted kitchen/breakfast room has a range of base and wall units, an integrated slimline dishwasher, a freestanding electric range cooker, space for an under counter fridge and a breakfast bar for two people. The inner hall doubles as a study and has a cupboard housing the gas fired boiler, an understairs cupboard with a power point, and a door to the utility room.
