4 bedroom house

An elegant Grade II listed house in sought-after location.


Description

Grade II listed and built in the mid 18th Century, Rose Cottage is a handsome stone house on desirable Hindon High Street. Set over three floors, it is now in need of some updating and refurbishment, but offers huge potential to create a particularly attractive family home.

From the hall, the drawing room has an open fire and two 12-pane sash windows in moulded stone architraves. The hall also offers access to the dining room, with a large bay window and window-seat which, in turn, opens through to the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen benefits from a range of fitted cupboards, with integrated double oven and hob, and has a half-glazed door onto the terrace. The adjacent utility/laundry room is a double-height space, with butlers sink, fitted cupboards, plumbing for a washing machine and a half-glazed door to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom. There is also access, via stone steps, to a cellar.
Unusual dog-leg stairs, with carved, flat wooden balusters, lead up to the first floor. The principal bedroom has an en suite dressing room and shower room. There are three further bedrooms on this floor and a family bathroom. The landing has a small walk-in washing-up/prep area, with sink and fitted shelving. The second floor offers two further bedrooms.

Outside
To one side of the property is a gravel driveway, with a garage and additional stone outbuilding with double doors. A paved terrace separates the house from the driveway and has an external ladder up to a former hay-loft. The part-walled garden is a combination of lawned areas, flower borders and a large vegetable garden, separated by box hedging. A summer house, positioned at the top of the garden, overlooks the cottage roof-tops of the high street properties, to the countryside beyond.
