House For Sale £450,000
The home in brief - enter though the impressive front door into a spacious, elegant entrance hallway. A particular feature of the home is the sense of light and space throughout accentuated by the high ceilings and the large windows allowing natural light to flood the spacious rooms. To the right is the sitting / dining room and straight ahead is the modern, well appointed kitchen. Wide carpeted stairs lead to the first floor and there is a downstairs WC. Karndean flooring runs from the entrance hallway, through the kitchen and into the dining area. The sitting area is carpeted and very comfortable with a feature fireplace and window seat looking out over the quadrangle. Upstairs the spacious, carpeted landing has doors to the 3 good size bedrooms and the modern well appointed bathroom with separate shower cubicle and bath. Bedroom 2 has a basin inset into vanity and the proximity to the bathroom and the airing cupboard would enable an ensuite to be created if desired.
Externally the home is accessed from within the quadrangle. From the home the quadrangle faces south. This is a very pretty communal area with a circular lawn that is well used by the community to host social events. It does appear to be very grand but the reality is, it's very relaxed and comfortable. As you approach the front door there is an area of hard standing perfect for some garden furniture, an ideal place to relax with a glass of your favourite tipple.
A key benefit to this home is the large walled "secret" garden that is detached from the home. If you like your picnics and want to get away from the home then a short walk will do it for you here. The garden is accessed through a locked gate and is divided into 3 sections. The middle section belongs to number 2. Rights of way allow each owner access. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with borders but has an impressive ancient Monterey Pine tree. There is a summer house on the south wall with a pergola, the perfect setting for entertaining. On the north wall there is a large shed for storing your garden tools, furniture etc and also a potting shed.
Brettingham Court was most recently developed into its current format in the 20th century. Dating back to the 18th century it was originally the kitchen courtyard to Hinton House, the garden being the walled garden for the estate. In the 19 century it was converted into a stable yard.
