4 bedroom character property for sale

A historical four-bedroom cottage dating back to the 17th century with contemporary additions for family living.

Welcome - Right at the heart of the ancient village of Endon, this Grade II listed, family home stands across from the famous Endon Well, which has been providing fresh spring water since 1845. As well as boasting fabulous shops and two local pubs, Endon is extremely popular for its schools.

As you approach Brook Cottages, you'll be taken aback by its beautiful stone architecture and mullion windows. Coursing through the walls is a fascinating history dating back to circa 1650. Step back in time as you enter the building via a large oak door leading into the porch where another door invites you inside.

Striking Period Features - Stepping into the kitchen and breakfast room, you're greeted with the most stunning period features, with chunky oak beams and an exposed brick wall framing an AGA range. With a rich heritage spanning almost four centuries, this traditional cottage blends the old with the new to create contemporary living. A central breakfast bar and country-style units add to its character and provide the perfect area for family dining. There's even enough space for a flop-into sofa where you can hug your cup of morning coffee and linger a little longer. To the rear of the kitchen, a convenient laundry room lets you keep the breakfast room free from clutter, and it also provides access to the rear garden.

Walk through to the inner hallway where you'll find a study area offset by an exposed brick wall and an original oak lintel above the doorway. You'll also find access to a cellar which makes a handy storage space. Continue through to the lounge where your eyes are immediately drawn to the cast iron fireplace. Light streams through the space from the original mullion windows, and exposed ceiling beams add a touch of warmth for those cosy winter evenings with the family.

Contemporary Additions For Modern Living - Return through the study to access an oak-framed garden room, a contemporary and light-filled addition to this characterful home which offers a great degree of privacy. Overlooking the rear garden, sink into a comfy armchair and watch nature at work or gather round the dining table for a late summer supper.

A Beautiful Secret Garden - Open the French doors into the garden and enjoy balmy days outdoors. A paved patio area allows for outdoor seating and borders overflowing with flowers and shrubs create an idyllic sanctuary for relaxing. Explore a little further and you come across a pathway at the rear of the garden which meanders into a secret garden. This is a magical space filled with small topiary trees and vibrant flowers leading to a pretty garden shed, the perfect location for your home office.

Drift Away - Retrace your steps to the inner hallway and follow the staircase up to the first floor. Straight ahead lies the family bathroom where a freestanding, clawfoot bath sits beside a mullion window and a Belfast-style sink.

Off the landing are two spacious bedrooms that look out over the front and rear gardens. The master bedroom features mullion windows, a stripped wooden floor and a contemporary shower room.

Back on the landing, head up another flight of stairs to the second floor where two further bedrooms await. Tucked away in the eaves with Velux windows and exposed oak beams, these make the ideal hideaways for older children wanting their own space.
