House For Sale £1,100,000
Believed to date back to the mid-18th century, Brook Cottage is a detached property with period features, including exposed beams and open fireplaces. Beautifully modernised by the current owners, a blend of traditional and contemporary design now complements these period features throughout.
The sense of history is immediate on entering Brook Cottage through the large reception hallway – the oldest part of the house, with an open inglenook fireplace and original beams. Past the fireplace is an open-plan kitchen/diner full of natural light through large dual-aspect windows. The slightly sunken seating area provides a subtle separation between the two spaces, while maintaining the social possibilities of the open-plan layout.
The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of wooden units, complemented by granite worktops and integrated appliances, including hob, double oven, butler style sink and dishwasher. A part-glass link gives access to the garden and the beautiful partially vaulted double-aspect sitting room, where a wood burner offers a cosy retreat for those winter evenings.
Opposite the sitting room and through the kitchen is the playroom/family room with its new engineered wooden flooring. A second sitting room is currently used as a home office/cinema room, also with its own log burner. Completing the ground floor is a large utility/boot room and cloakroom.
Upstairs, a very generous landing leads to four double bedrooms. The principal dual-aspect bedroom overlooking the garden has an ensuite newly fitted contemporary bathroom. A further family bathroom, also newly fitted, sits just off the landing.
Outside there is ample parking space for at least five vehicles leading onto a detached double garage with loft storage above. The majority of the 0.33 acre plot can be found in the rear south-west facing garden, with areas of lawn, mature trees, shrubs, raised beds, sunken firepit, a well and a large patio terrace with ample outside dining space. The property adjoins farmland, giving the garden an open but private and secluded feel.
