4 bedroom detached house

DESCRIPTION Brookside is a quintessential detached Grade II Listed period home occupying a charming valley position by a pretty brook located on the edge of the renowned village of Castle Combe. The property is set within half an acre of gardens and grounds incorporating a pretty woodland sprawling up the valley's western side. Showcasing a handsome double fronted Georgian elevation, the property dates back to the late 18th Century and displays a wealth of charm and character including sash windows, exposed timber beams and large traditional fireplaces. Today, Brookside offers a great deal of scope for upgrading and modernising.

Internally, the accommodation spans over three floors and extends in all to over 2,100 sq.ft. On the ground floor, there are two magnificent reception rooms interconnecting via sliding doors and both boasting large inglenook fireplaces and sash windows complete with shutters. To the side, there is a downstairs WC and separate utility room. The kitchen is open plan to a conservatory style breakfast room and features an electric Aga. At the rear there is a versatile room offering space for a study, hobby room or playroom. Upstairs and on the first floor, there are two front bedrooms enjoying the south-facing aspect plus a further bedroom overlooking the gardens at the side. The top floor has a bathroom with roll top bath and further bedroom.

Brookside enjoys a south-facing position overlooking the surrounding wooded valley. The property is accessed from the lane through a metal gate opening to a large, gravelled parking area sweeping to a detached stone-built garage. The well-established gardens are predominately arranged to the westerly side landscaped in tiers climbing the valley. The garden features topiary box hedging adjacent to a sloping lawn interspersed with fruit trees. Timber and stone steps ascend the valley up to the private woodland which has been left as a natural habitat to the local wildlife.
