4 bedroom detached house for sale

Description

Willow Brooke House is an individually designed and built detached family house situated off Rommel Lane in the popular village of Crudwell with an exceptional garden and small paddock extending in all to around 1.18 acre. Built of reconstructed stone, the property has been remodelled in recent years and offers superb accommodation of over 2,000 sq.ft ideally configured for family life.

The ground floor opens to a spacious entrance hall with a galleried landing above and downstairs WC off. There is a large living room with a stylish wood-burning stove, and double doors leading to an adjoining study. Positioned to the side to take full advantage of the outlook over the garden and towards the paddock, there is a fashionable kitchen/dining room extending into a remodelled family room with bi-folding door. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with a range of bespoke handmade units around a central island and features an integrated dishwasher and microwave. There is a separate utility room which has rear access. The property boasts four beautifully decorated bedrooms, including a principal suite with built-in wardrobes dressing area and en-suite. Three are generously sized doubles, while the fourth is ideal for a nursery or an additional home office space. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath.

There is plenty of potential to enlarge the house further and in 2021 planning permission was obtained (now lapsed) for a large attic conversion. Additional plans have been drawn for a two-storey extension.

The property enjoys a generous wrap-around garden, with the main garden area benefiting from a sunny southerly aspect and views over the adjoining paddock and fields beyond. The 0.65-acre paddock is fully fenced and is currently used as a charming wildflower meadow with walking paths, offering both natural beauty and potential for a variety of uses. Ample private parking is available via both front and rear driveways, with the gated rear driveway leading to two garages—one of which has been partially converted into a gym. Both garages have power and feature eaves storage above.
