Description
A charming cottage, dating from the 1920s, enjoying an idyllic position, set in the heart of the open forest in the desirable village of Bramshaw, enjoying views to adjoining farmland and of course the open forest. This unique property comes with forest rights and offers well presented accommodation with three double bedrooms in the cottage itself, two of which boast en-suite facilities. The ground floor features a generous triple aspect sitting room and formal dining room with separate kitchen breakfast room. What was originally the stable block now comprises a double garage, workshop with wine cellar, two offices, store and photographic dark room. A kitchen/utility area hosts stairs to a bedroom and living area offering scope to generate income, subject to necessary consents. Private mature gardens and ample gated parking, together with a 4KW solar panel array, providing electricity, complete this impressive home.

Ground Floor - An attractive oak framed porch and inner door open into the triple aspect sitting room which features an open fireplace and red brick surround with a bay to the rear garden and patio seating area. An inner hall provides useful storage space with a modern shower room and formal dining room adjacent. The bright and airy kitchen breakfast room offers a range of oak wall and base units with contrasting Corian work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a double oven with steamer and induction hob. The oil fired Stanley oven also fuels the heating and hot water.

First Floor - The landing allows access to the loft space via a hatch and serves the three double bedrooms. All three bedrooms boast extensive built in wardrobes and storage with an en-suite bathroom to bedroom two. The principal room enjoys a stylish en-suite shower room with large walk in shower, mounted wash basin, dual flush wc and heated towel rail.

Converted Stable Building/Annexe - A utility area / kitchenette hosts the stairs to the first floor with a reception area and bedroom, shower and wc. A double garage is fitted with single remote doors and access to a workshop with wine cellar. The stables have been converted to offices, a photographic dark room and store room with loft access.

Outside - The property is approached via a gated frontage with cattle grid to the block paved driveway. A secure gate accesses the private and mature rear garden with a walled patio seating area which abuts the rear of the property. Predominantly laid to lawn there is a brick built bar-be-que, shed and working well.

Parking - Ample parking is available on the block paved driveway which fronts the double garage.

Access - We understand that the original access road was across Penn Common, since 1920. Two other open access roads are over Canada Common (north) and Penn Common (west), as shown, enable free unfettered access to the property, with no obligations to any authority or person, for use.
