Maison Hope

A distinguished family home in a highly sought after village, Hope House showcases the timeless charm of exemplary English interiors.
The house comes with the added benefit of a separate annexe as well as a swimming pool and 2.47 acres of glorious garden.
Hope House is located in an idyllic private spot behind a stone wall and hornbeam hedge on the edge of the lovely village of East Coker in South Somerset. The house itself is Grade II listed and is imbued with period features from across the centuries complementing the well-proportioned rooms. With medieval origins traceable as far back as the 15th century, the house was altered and added to in the 16th and 17th centuries with a further late Georgian addition at the beginning of the 19th century. The house has been beautifully restored by the current owner who has brought its historic character back to life whilst at the same time modernising it into a comfortable family home.
A gate opens onto a gravelled driveway with plenty of parking outside the house’s handsome façade of honey coloured Hamstone with stone mullion windows.
The main house has seven generously proportioned bedrooms, five bathrooms and a study. The large principal bedroom is located on the first floor of the main part of the house, with high sloping ceilings, inbuilt cupboards, a fireplace and a generous adjoining bathroom with double basins, bath, and inbuilt storage cupboard. Across the passage sits another large double bedroom with fireplace, charming 17th century panelling and an adjoining bathroom with bath and linen cupboard. Another double bedroom with pretty patterned wallpaper, a study, and a family bathroom are located along the corridor. To the southern end of the house there are two further double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower and their own spiral staircase. The second floor is made up of two double bedrooms, one with an adjoining bathroom with bath.
The garden annexe is separate from the house and perfect for guests, rental or ancillary accommodation. It comprises an open plan kitchen/living room with a cosy newly installed wood burner, and a separate double bedroom with large inbuilt cupboards and an adjoining bathroom.
Hope House sits in a generous 2.47-acre plot surrounded by beautiful gardens and grounds which have been extensively redesigned by the current owner and features lovely mature trees including oak, ash, magnolia and walnut.
