Denise White Estate Agents Comments

Dating back to the 18th century and beautifully extended in 2021, The Hutch is a stunning period cottage positioned on the edge of the picturesque village of Alton. This charming home perfectly combines the warmth and character of a traditional cottage with the space and style required for modern family living, creating a property that is both inviting and highly practical.

A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the home and leads through to a cosy lounge positioned to the front aspect. Here, a magnificent exposed stone fireplace forms a striking focal point, housing a multi-fuel stove that brings warmth and atmosphere to the room. Adjacent to the lounge is a versatile study or playroom, offering an ideal space for home working, children’s activities, or a quiet retreat.

To the rear of the property lies the true heart of the home - a superb open-plan living kitchen designed with both everyday family life and entertaining in mind. This impressive space incorporates a comfortable sitting area with French doors opening onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood the room. The beautifully appointed kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units and integrated appliances, centred around a stylish island with breakfast bar seating. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a delightful dining area with a vaulted ceiling and further French doors opening onto the garden, creating a bright and sociable environment that is perfect for gatherings with family and friends.

To the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to four bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms are generous doubles, while the fourth is a well-proportioned single room. The principal bedroom enjoys a peaceful rear aspect overlooking the garden and offers delightful views across the neighbouring fields, together with the benefit of an ensuite shower room. Bedroom two is a particularly generous double positioned to the front aspect alongside bedroom four, while bedroom three, another spacious double, is situated to the rear of the property.

Externally, the property is approached via a shared driveway which leads to a private driveway providing off-road parking. To the front is a small forecourt area, while to the rear the cottage enjoys a lovely enclosed lawned garden that adjoins open fields and benefits from a high degree of privacy - an ideal space for outdoor relaxation, family play, or al fresco dining during the warmer months.

The Hutch is ideally located within the sought-after village of Alton, offering easy access to local shops, traditional public houses, a doctor’s surgery and a range of village amenities. The property is also just a short drive from the renowned Alton Towers and the beautiful woodland landscape of Dimmingsdale, providing wonderful opportunities for countryside walks and outdoor pursuits.

A viewing of The Hutch is essential to fully appreciate the charm, space and lifestyle this exceptional period home has to offer.
