Description:

Hemington Cottage is a beautiful, Grade II listed cottage, dating back to the 18th Century. Occupying a delightful plot close to the centre of this popular and well-served village, the property offers characterful and meticulously presented accommodation, full of charm and natural light.

On the ground floor is a pretty kitchen with shaker style units, a pantry and an Aga, leading through to the dining room with a feature fireplace. There are two further reception rooms, perfect all times of year with a cosy family room/snug with inglenook fireplace, and a bright sitting room with feature fireplace and French windows opening to the garden.

On the first floor, there are three, lovely, double bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

Outside:

The delightfully secluded gardens of the cottage provide superb, sun-filled relaxation and recreational space. There are various al-fresco outdoor dining and entertaining areas along with lovely lawns bordered by established flower and shrub borders and beds. There is adequate off-street, secure parking along with a lovely period outbuilding, formerly the old butcher’s shop, which offers the potential (subject to planning) to create a characterful studio/hobby space/workshop.

The owners have also constructed a wonderful and hugely versatile garden studio, positioned at the back of the garden, which offers space for additional accommodation, home office etc. Divided into two rooms, there is a garden room with log-burning stove and a further room, currently used as a home cinema.
