4 Bedroom Home – For Sale

Hopewell are delighted to bring "Holly Cottage" to the market. This semi detached family home dates from 1880 and as such is full of charm and character. From the moment you enter via slate floor vestibule you are aware of exposed beam ceilings and stone features such as an inglenook fireplace. This well presented home offers generous family accommodation and boasts a large garden to the rear. The rear South facing garden really is very strong feature of the property, as it incorporates areas of patio, decking, and then opens out to a large play area. As well as the area of hard standing to the front of the property that offers parking, to the side of the property is a driveway that gives access to a garage

The property benefits from leaded double glazing throughout and has a large sitting room, a light dining room benefiting from a set of windows spanning the corner creating an area with the feeling of a "sun room". There is separate well appointed solid wood kitchen with breakfast bar for informal dining that is duel aspect as it has two sets of windows to the side elevation and a set of French Patio doors opening onto the patio and the gardens beyond.

The first floor landing provides access to bedrooms one, two and three as well as a family bathroom that is finished to a very high specification. The fourth bedroom is on the second floor and is the result of loft conversion. Hopewell consider that Bedroom three would make an excellent office leaving three double bedrooms.

Holly Cottage is situated in the popular family residential area of Kingswood. It is close to Kingswood Rugby club, and has easy access to local shops and restaurants. Of particular note is that the Ofsted reported "Good" Kings Oak Academy is within half a mile and provides primary and secondary education.
