The property enjoys beautiful countryside views across a well known local beauty spot and benefits from excellent natural light, with many rooms enjoying a dual aspect. In June 2021, the cottage was upgraded with high quality, period style uPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout. The layout of Brockdown Cottage offers a wonderfully practical and flexible flow, ideal for family living. The cottage is well catered for with an entrance hall, utility room, and downstairs WC, all positioned conveniently to support the main living areas. The kitchen/breakfast room sits at the heart of the home, offering generous proportions and direct access to the dining room, making it ideal for everyday family life as well as entertaining. A study with an adjoining store room provides a quiet workspace, while a cosy snug offers the flexibility of an occasional fifth bedroom on the ground floor if required. The sitting room is an impressive, full length space with feature stone fireplace and dual aspect windows framing the countryside views. From here, double doors open into the garden room, creating a seamless connection between the main living space and the garden. The staircase rises to a spacious first floor landing, giving access to all four bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys excellent proportions and includes its own ensuite bathroom. Three further bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation, served by a wellappointed family bathroom. Several of the bedrooms enjoy elevated countryside views. The property fronts a quiet, no through country lane and is surrounded by beautiful countryside walks from the doorstep. The cottage also provides excellent scope for extension or reconfiguration, and being unlisted, buyers have greater freedom to adapt the home to their needs. A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious, chain free period cottage with exceptional views, generous grounds, and huge potential—perfect for buyers seeking a well connected rural home they can personalise in this highly desirable area.
