Situated in an ideal location in the heart of Brampton this outstanding four-bedroom cottage exudes character and charm. Now with a beautiful yellow exterior, this former thatched timber framed farmhouse, spread over three bays with an annex to the east wing. Thought to date back to the early 17th century, this intriguing residence has been converted and renovated over the years. The first floor believed to serve as storage space for farming equipment and the annex served as housing for animals that grazed on the local land surrounding.
Within recent years a major restoration project commenced to make basic improvements to restore the cottage, to return the annex to residential use, introduce a kitchen and modern bathroom facilities as well putting in French doors that open into the landscaped rear garden. The cottage has been recently re-thatched with a blend of contemporary and period features found throughout.
Highlights of this wonderful family home include a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room with bi-fold doors opening on to the back garden, a utility room, shower room and two further reception rooms all on the ground floor. With separate stairs leading to a snug and ‘crafts room’, the first floor offers versatile living space with a master bedroom, guest bedroom and a family bathroom.
The cottage is completed by a delightful rear garden, fully enclosed and mostly laid to lawn with a wealth of traditional mature trees, shrubs and flowers with a paved patio area. Another lovely feature to the garden is a fully functioning water well, also a further outbuilding originally used a coal shed at some point in time, which facilitates good storage space. A pathway wraps around the side of the property and leads to the front, with access through lockable gate. There is a private parking space for up to two cars at the front of the cottage.
