The Property
Dating back to 1842, Hopside Farmhouse is a beautifully restored, double-fronted detached property. The current owners have carried out renovations that carefully preserve the home’s original character while introducing contemporary comforts. The result is a home that offers both generous and flexible accommodation. With an adjoining annexe and a range of stone outbuildings, the property presents an exciting opportunity for versatile family living or income generation.

At the front of the farmhouse are two generously sized reception rooms. A warm and characterful sitting room, where original wooden shutters frame a large window that looks out onto the front gardens. A wood-burning stove, set within a rustic stone surround, enhances the cosy ambiance of this delightful space. Across the hall, the formal dining room provides an elegant space for entertaining. A striking cast-iron period fireplace serves as the room’s focal point, adding both charm and warmth. Two large sash windows, complemented by original wooden shutters, reveal picturesque views into the front garden and across the countryside to the side.

The kitchen embodies a quintessential country aesthetic, featuring a range of cabinetry complemented by warm wooden work surfaces that enhance its rustic charm. A traditional AGA is paired with a modern range cooker for day-to-day practicality. The layout is designed for comfort and functionality, with a central farmhouse table offering a relaxed setting for informal dining. A large sash window offers picturesque views of the surrounding farmland, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. A large pantry provides additional storage, while a practical boot room offers useful utility space and leads to a well-appointed downstairs shower room/WC, featuring a luxurious walk-in rainfall shower.

Upstairs, four generously proportioned double bedrooms offer comfortable and versatile accommodation, each with unique period features and tranquil views of the surrounding countryside. These rooms share a contemporary family bathroom, thoughtfully designed with a luxurious double-ended bathtub and separate shower.

Across the rear courtyard, an outbuilding offers superb additional space. The office provides an ideal environment for working from home, while the adjacent games room presents an inviting setting for entertainment and leisure.

The Cowshed
The Cowshed, a separate stone-built property, which has been completely reconfigured to offer stylish and flexible accommodation, finished to a high standard with quality fixtures and fittings throughout. The impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting room showcases contemporary charm, highlighted by vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden A-beams, and a wood-burning stove. Both bedrooms are impeccably decorated and feature characterful exposed stonework and beams, with one benefiting from an en-suite shower room, and the second is served by a beautifully appointed bathroom. With its own independent access, it is a hugely appealing holiday let with a proven record of success but is also an ideal set up for multi-generational living arrangements.

Externally
Hopside Farm is approached via a five-bar gate onto an expansive gravelled driveway, providing ample parking for several vehicles and access to a twin garage. The south-facing front garden features a delightful cottage garden, framed by elegant stone walling and lush, mature hedging. An array of vibrant plants and shrubs adds colour and life, creating a welcoming and picturesque first impression.

A charming courtyard at the rear sits between the farmhouse and the characterful stone outbuildings, offering an enchanting space for alfresco dining and entertaining. In addition to an office and games room, the outbuildings house a boiler room, kennel, gardener’s WC, and woodshed. There may also be potential to develop these buildings into additional holiday lets, subject to securing the necessary planning permissions.

Agents Note
The current owners rent an adjoining paddock of around 0.27 acres from a local landowner at an annual fee of £150. There may be the opportunity to continue this rental arrangement which is a huge benefit to the property. The paddock will appeal to interested parties looking for extra outdoor possibilities.
