The Property
Built of brick under thatch, Poplar Cottage is believed to date back to the 18th century,
with more recent extensions, creating a very comfortable family home. Considerable
care has been taken by the present owner to refurbish the property, whilst retaining
its charm and many original architectural features such as exposed ceiling timbers
and inglenook fireplace. Recent improvements include solid oak latched doors and
re-decoration throughout. Poplar Cottage currently has planning permission to extend
on the north east elevation to include an additional reception room, utility room and
bedroom; further details can be obtained from the selling agent.

The Location
Poplar Cottage is situated on the edge of the village of Hermitage,
located within walking distance of both the village centre and
adjoining open countryside. Hermitage offers a good range of local
amenities including village shop, post office, butchers, 2 public
houses and a primary school. A wider selection of shops, services
and entertainment can be found in nearby Newbury. There is
excellent access to London and the rest of the country via the M4
(J13) and A34 and by rail via Newbury station (Paddington).

The Garden
To the front of the property is an attractive, established
garden, laid mainly to lawn enclosed by mixed hedging
and well-stocked borders. To the side of the property is
a garden shed and small terrace overlooking a further
lawn together with several mature trees. The property is
approached from Chapel Lane into a gravel turning area,
with a gravel drive running along the rear of the property to
a detached garage and car port.
