Property description
Brookfield Cottage is secluded within mature gardens bordered by a brook and backs on to farmland. Its appearance is very much that of the idyllic thatched country cottage, but it is both conveniently positioned and has been completely restored from the ground up, so superbly obtains the illusive balance of lovely period character and practical ease of ownership.
The accommodation in the main house has comfortable ceiling heights and a straightforward layout and is steeped in character with exposed timbers and open inglenook fireplaces. There are four reception rooms including a well presented sitting room plus a hand-built kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops, range oven and a pantry cupboard, a ground floor shower room and a hardwood conservatory. The first floor is served by two staircases and has four bedrooms and a generous bathroom. Two of the bedrooms presently interconnect but they could easily be separated by the addition of a single stud wall.
At the far end of the gardens is a handsome, modern, single-storey building presently used as splendid games room with a shower room and small kitchen. This fine building has a variety of potential uses. It would make a superb studio, could accommodate a good size home business or could easily be altered to form a self-contained residential annexe. Double doors from the main room lead on to a lovely paved terrace with planted borders. Attached to the annexe is a double garage with driveway in front for three cars.
The gardens are about half an acre and are private and beautifully mature. The main garden is lawned and falls away to a natural wildlife area with steps down to a shallow brook and there is a secluded brick paved terrace behind the house.
Thatched houses of such charm, space and seclusion are rare, and the generous annexe lends this fine family home an even more unique appeal.
NOTE: The seller of this property is a Connected Person as defined by the Estate Agents Act 1979.
