High Street, Wickwar, GL12 8NP

A truly impressive and characterful Grade II listed five-bedroom country home, occupying a commanding position within this historic and highly regarded village. Offering around 2,700 sq ft of spacious accommodation with a wonderful 150ft rear garden leading down to a driveway for four vehicles and a garage/workshop, Hope House is a home that offers something rather special.

Dating back to the mid-1700s, this beautiful period property successfully combines an abundance of original character with the benefits of carefully considered modern improvements. The current owners have sympathetically refurbished a number of major elements to a high specification, including a complete renovation of the roof, hot water and central heating systems, windows and electrics, all undertaken under the guidance of English Heritage.

Arranged over three floors, the generous accommodation comprises five double bedrooms, two bathrooms, three reception rooms including a lounge and separate sitting room both with wood burning fireplaces, an impressive 23 ft kitchen/dining room, utility / laundry room and downstairs cloakroom. There is also a useful gym/store room offering excellent flexibility, with potential for a variety of alternative uses.

One of the property's real highlights is its wonderful rear outlook. Far-reaching countryside views, extending towards the Cotswold escarpment at Wotton and beyond, can be enjoyed from the rear-facing windows, whilst outside the impressive rear garden extends to approximately 150ft, providing a fantastic space to relax, entertain and enjoy its sunny, private setting.

To the rear, accessed via Back Lane, a garage/workshop provides further useful storage and practical space, whilst the large driveway provides private parking away from the main street.

The location is equally appealing, with historic Chipping Sodbury approximately a seven-minute drive away, along with the village's local pub, restaurants, social club and Alexander Hosea Primary School. There is also a free bus service to KLB Secondary School, whilst miles of beautiful rural walks can be enjoyed right on the doorstep.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and individual period home, combining historic charm, impressive proportions and a wonderful countryside setting.
