The property
'Esperer', the French for 'hope' is a substantial stone built property; having served as a happy home for the 'Hope' family for many years, the property now offers an ideal opportunity for those seeking the same, an excellent prospect as a 'forever' family home in a peaceful and established village setting. The property itself offers particularly spacious accommodation which would now benefit from some modernisation and upgrading but with excellent potential for the purchaser to do this to their own specification. For those that deem it necessary there is also scope to reconfigure the layout of the living accommodation on the ground floor; with plenty of space on offer this could be altered to provide a truly impressive and adaptable living space which could fit perfectly for modern family living. In addition to a spacious interior the garden to the rear is of good proportions, very neatly presented and fully enclosed with plenty of privacy, ideal for both children and pets with the added benefit of a garage to the side and rear yard which could provide additional off-street parking if required.

A useful vestibule lies to the front of the property with access into a welcoming and particularly spacious hallway with front window and staircase to the upper floor.

The dining room to the rear is of generous proportions with ample space for formal dining, a side window and adjoining walk in larder/pantry. A real touch of character is provided in this room thanks to the exposed stone wall and ceiling beams.
