A superb period house, with beautiful gardens in a most remarkable position adjacent to the Dyrham Park Estate.
Hinds Cottage is a detached, Grade II listed country cottage offering in excess of 2,800 sq ft of accommodation arranged over two floors.
Built in attractive Cotswold stone with a mixture of stone and clay tile roof and mullion windows, the property offers quintessential country good looks and blends well into its countryside setting, surrounded on three sides by the Dyrham Park National Trust estate.
To the ground floor is the drawing room with a feature fireplace with views into the gardens. Also at this level is a cosy sitting room with wood burner, and an imposing dining room with a wonderful tiled floor, log burner and direct access to the gardens. The lobby leads to the ground floor bedroom/study with en suite shower room.
The real hub of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room. This is fitted out with a quality bespoke fitted kitchen, complete with granite work surfaces. There is space for a breakfast table as well as direct access to the front garden, the garage and a walk-in pantry.
To the first floor are the bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a spacious en suite bath/shower room as well as views of the gardens. There are three further double bedrooms - all with open views - and a further shower room.
Outside
The property benefits from well-tended gardens that wrap around the house. To the front of the property is a gravel driveway/parking area (suitable for 6 medium size cars), which in turn leads to a single garage with up-and-over door.
From the front, there is access to a spacious glass house with stone flooring and butlers sink. Leading from here are productive raised vegetable beds.
The main gardens are to the rear and enjoy a large lawn area enclosed by well-stocked flower beds and mature shrubs/hedging. This creates a colourful oasis to sit back and relax and enjoy the gentle bird song. Leading off the back of the house is a patio ideal for al fresco dining, which links up with the dining room through large French doors.
Finally, there is a number of specimen trees that further complement the gardens and add to this magical location.

I love the setting of this beautiful country cottage, surrounded on three sides by National Trust land, adjoining the stunning Dyrham Park with its ancient parkland, 17th century house and gardens.
