Description:
Brookside Cottage has been lovingly and very tastefully renovated to create an exceptional family home with superb living space which flows beautifully. Great care and attention have been put into creating a welcoming home with contemporary flair and stunning original features.
The sitting room is a superb room for entertaining and is equally perfect for quiet evenings in. It is lovely and light with French doors leading to the terrace and garden. The inglenook fireplace with wood burner adds extra warmth in the colder months and makes this a wonderful cosy room in which to relax and unwind with a good book.
The dining room, with wood burner, comes into its own when hosting dinner parties. The room is bathed in an abundance of natural light with French doors giving onto the garden. The parquet floor is a fantastic feature of the room.
The adjacent kitchen/breakfast room opens onto a delightful terrace. This is a fabulous room for entertaining family and friends and is ideal for indoor/ outdoor living in the warmer months. The central island is perfect for morning coffee catch ups and evening chats whilst cooking up a feast. The kitchen is well equipped with an Aga and all the necessary modern appliances and there is plenty of worktop and storage space.
The utility room comes in handy for muddy wellies after a long country walk. There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor.
The first floor comprises the master bedroom with en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second floor is currently set up as two fabulous home offices. The dormer windows allow for plenty of natural light. These two rooms could equally be converted into further accommodation or work superbly as a playroom and media room for younger children.
The Coach House offers excellent ancillary accommodation comprising a kitchen, a garden room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The living space is well laid out and is an excellent space to host family and friends.
Outside the garden is a true haven of peace and tranquillity. Predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with beautiful specimen trees and colourful planters, the garden is bordered by the River Thames which offers a wonderful sense of serenity to the setting. The outside space has been beautifully planned to offer various seating and BBQ areas and the plunge pool, discreetly nestled to the side of the house, is a wonderful and welcome addition during the summer months. To the side of the Coach House is a delightful Orchard and a potting shed for the garden enthusiast!
There is plenty of parking on the driveway alongside the garage and store.
Vendors' thoughts: "This has been our most wonderful home for the last twenty two years. Children, grandchildren and dogs have come and gone but the beauty of its meadow location and convenience for modern living are constants."
In a nutshell: There are hints of Kenya and France, two countries where the current owners lived, in the restoration of Brookside Cottage. A fabulous period home in the most gorgeous setting!
