We are delighted to bring Hoopers Farmhouse to the market which has been within the same ownership since it was acquired in 1978. This lovely late 17th century Grade II thatched cottage is constructed of chalk and flint with limestone quoins and flint footings and is centrally located within the rural Wiltshire village of Tilshead.
Not only visually stunning with its chocolate box characteristics but, look internally, and you will be presented with wealth period features including a truly impressive inglenook fireplace, two further working fireplaces with log burners, numerous beams and timbers and natural stone floors. There is also a vast loft space, with excellent storage.
Hoopers Farmhouse offers both flexible and spacious accommodation with two staircases; the current owner lives within one half of the property and successfully runs the other half as a cottage holiday let which we believe from the owner provides a generous income. Shaded on the Floor Plan is the area of the property which is utilised as a holiday let.
The ground floor comprises of a large main dual aspect living room and a spacious dining room. Off the dining area is a substantial single storey (single skin) kitchen extension with adjoining utility giving access to both areas of the garden. A further open plan reception room/living room/kitchen is currently in use as part of the holiday let.
The main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, bedroom 2/guest bedroom has an ensuite shower room and a lovely open mezzanine which could be utilised as an occasional bedroom, a third large double bedroom and a generous family bathroom.
Hoopers Farmhouse is set back from the village road and is approached by a sweeping gravel drive which extends across the front to the right hand side where access can be gained to an additional drive area with additional parking. The walled front garden is laid to lawn with mature shrubs, flower beds, climbing roses and an attractive duck pond. The rear garden is divided in two with both areas being accessible off thekitchen: there is a enclosed courtyard kitchen garden and a mature lawned garden with shrubs flowerbeds.
