Property description
Detached home located in Brokerswood. Set in just over an acre, the property comprises sitting room, snug, dining room, conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, four bedrooms (master en-suite), family bathroom, double garage and outbuildings.We had always wanted to build our own home, says Sue, and twenty-eight years ago we got the chance to do just that in this absolutely stunning location. We took inspiration from the many great property shows that we had visited and built a beautiful timber-framed, stone-faced house with a very traditional and comfortable layout.This very attractive home, which has been constructed in a style that fits perfectly with the narrative of its glorious surroundings, is situated in a wonderfully rural location just 13 miles from the beautiful Georgian city of Bath.We designed it to be a real family home, says Sue, and as is usually the case Id say that the large kitchen/diner is the real heart of our home. It has the feel of a real country kitchen and of course has an Aga; I wouldnt be without my Aga. Sue adds: We have a huge drawing room that leads straight into the conservatory, and we also put in two cloak rooms downstairs, which is great for country living as the muddy boots dont need to go any further.The overall style of the house is traditional, says Sue, so we have used lots of wood throughout, and there are a great many lovely features. In the main living room, for example, we have a very nice open fire, which is wonderful in the wintertime, and we had the fire surround carved in stone to our own design; its a beautiful focal point of the room.From the conservatory there are huge patio doors that create a really nice connection to the garden, says Sue, which is lovely when the weather is warm. Beyond them we have a nice patio terrace and a decked area with a table and chairs, and then the rest of the outside space is very much a woodland garden. We also have stables just far enough away from the house, adds Barry, and it may be possible for any prospective buyer to purchase additional land, should they want to keep a ponyLiving here we have the countryside feel and yet its also extremely convenient, says Sue. Were surrounded by an array of towns and villages, and places like Bath and Salisbury are very easy to reach. Were spoilt for choice in terms of places to shop and eat out, and the mainline stations at Westbury and Trowbridge enable us to venture further afield. Barry adds: We also have some lovely pubs close by, and the farm shop at Beckington sells fresh local produce and has a lovely café.Selling Brockvere has been a long, hard decision, says Sue, but were moving to be nearer to our family. We will be terribly sad to leave as it has been a wonderful home for a great many years.Barry and Sue
