DESCRIPTION Brookside is a delightful, detached period cottage coupled with some 3.4 acres and stabling offering a perfect equestrian smallholding set up. The property is located in the peaceful rural hamlet of Tytherton Lucas with quiet lanes, ample public footpaths and bridleways in abundance throughout the surrounding countryside. Believed to be originally two cottages now joined as one, Brookside has been updated in modern times finished with solid doors throughout whilst retaining its wonderful original charm featuring exposed timber beams. The cottage backs onto its own paddocks creating a lovely outlook with a seamless illusion view over a ha-ha separating the garden and land. Internally, the accommodation is deceptively spacious extending in all to 1,456 sq.ft.

The ground floor layout includes a characterful sitting room with wood-burning stove leading to a rear sunroom which overlooks the paddocks and adjoins a further room currently utilised as a home office. The country style kitchen is arranged to the front and is very well equipped with timber units and worktops set around a central island. Integrated appliances include a Rangemaster, American style fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, and wine cooler. A separate dining room is located off the hallway and adjoins the utility room complete with WC. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes. There is an en-suite shower room adjoining the principal bedroom in addition to the family bathroom which is fitted with a luxurious roll-top bath. Underfloor heating warms both the kitchen and en-suite.

Outside and to the front, the property is positioned between timber fencing and electric gates opening to a gravelled parking area. The gardens wraparound the cottage which runs parallel to the namesake brook and has two charming timber bridges within the grounds. The gardens are laid mostly to lawn with a new timber decked seating area perfectly positioned to watch over the ponies in the paddocks. Behind the cottage there is a useful double garage.

The land is divided into two fenced lined paddocks alongside the stable block. The stable block has power and lighting connected and comprises three loose boxes, a tack room and adjoining hay store. The stable block has the excellent advantage of a separate driveway leading in from the lane convenient for deliveries, a horse lorry and easy hacking access out. 

SITUATION Tytherton Lucas is a peaceful rural hamlet within the beautiful Parish of Bremhill.
