Bramdean Cottage

The oak entrance door to the rear of the property opens to a wood panelled hall with a flagstone floor. From here the house opens to the right to the study which leads through to the family room, with heated oak parquet flooring, which opens in turn to the spacious conservatory and on to the patio and walled garden. To the left from the hall, a passage leads to the kitchen/breakfast room, which has stone flooring, a mixture of hand painted and crafted walnut units, Italian marble worktops and an Aga, a conventional oven and hob, as well as a Teppanyaki hot plate set into the centre island. The dining room has panelled walls and arch doorways to the front garden and the drive. Off the kitchen is a laundry room, which opens back to the hall.
[k]Upstairs there are four well-proportioned bedrooms with good storage and a contemporary family bathroom and separate shower/wet room, with heated flooring. From a secondary hall stairs lead to the first floor living room, which has a fireplace and a bay window overlooking the garden.
[k]Externally the property is approached via a gravel drive which ends in a turning circle by the twin bay oak car port. The front garden is bordered by mature hedging and mainly laid to lawn. The gardens to the rear are extensive and begin with steps rising to a terraced patio area which in turn leads up to the walled garden. Wide brick steps rise to a further lawned area, an extensive vegetable garden, a small paddock and an orchard. From the orchard a private track connects the property via a gate to a right of way leading to the main road. There is a range of barns, workshops and stores that provide an exciting opportunity for redevelopment, subject to planning. One of the outbuildings is currently used as a gym. There is an above surface swimming pool in a private area, surrounded by tiered decking.
