The Property

1 Brockbushes Farm Cottages is a charming stone-built detached property with beautifully appointed accommodation arranged over one floor. The original cottage has been sympathetically extended and updated, with elegant and tasteful décor that blends traditional touches with contemporary styling and quality. High ceilings, decorative cornicing and ceiling roses reflect the history of the property, while relaxing muted color palettes, high specification fixtures and fittings and sleek bathrooms all cater to modern living. The property sits within hugely generous gardens with the plot extending to around 0.68 acres in all. The semi-rural location brings both stunning countryside surroundings and easy access to nearby villages and towns, along with excellent commuter links via the A69 to regional centres.

A lovely entrance vestibule leads to reception rooms at either side of the front elevation. The sitting room showcases the graceful décor found throughout the property, with a decorative fireplace with marble hearth as a centrepiece. The dining room/snug offers further entertaining space, but has in the past also been configured as a large bedroom. There is great flexibility for the requirements of all interested parties.

The well-appointed kitchen is positioned to the rear with views to the courtyard patio and gardens beyond. There is an abundance of storage and integrated appliances include a double oven, induction hob with extractor over and fridge freezer. A generous second vestibule opens to the courtyard patio.

There are four bedrooms with varying outlooks. The principal bedroom benefits from an impressive range of fitted wardrobes and a fantastic en-suite shower room. The modern suite comprises double width walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC with gleaming light tiling. The remaining bedrooms are served by an equally well-appointed bathroom with suite comprising bath with shower over, wash hand basin set in a vanity unit and WC. Again, the finish is outstanding. One of the bedrooms is currently configured as a study, ideal for anyone wishing to work from home. This bedroom also adjoins the sitting room and so could also become a dining room if desired. The options to configure the accommodation for individual needs are enormous. Two boarded and insulated loft spaces are also available.

Proposed Layout

The current owners have drawn up proposals for possible works to expand the accommodation. The proposals provide a useful insight into the multiple options available to interested parties, including opening the hallway to offer a welcoming reception to the rear, and creating a glass link from the principal bedroom to the existing pig sty to create an en-suite bathroom. The plans add a large family bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in shower and a double vanity unit, and also increases the size of another bedroom/office.

Striking design opens the front living area and double garage to create on open kitchen/living space with large, glazed windows and bifold doors to the rear courtyard. A spiral staircase to the open living area leads to a mezzanine snug/cinema room (this has been surveyed and head height is available). The second bedroom to the rear of the property is proposed to have a small kitchenette and en-suite; this room is located close to the main entrance for the option to use as a self-contained 'granny flat'.

Externally

1 Brockbushes Farm Cottages occupies a remarkable plot of around 0.68 acres in all. A wide cobble paved driveway approaches the front of the cottage. There is ample space for parking on the drive and within the fantastic double garage with twin doors. The front garden is mostly laid to lawn and access to either side of the property leads around to the main gardens at the rear.

Immediately to the rear of the cottage is a large flagged patio which is well sheltered and perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. The extensive gardens stretch away from the patio with well-kept lawns surrounded by mature trees and shrubs. Fruit trees dot the lawns and a large greenhouse sits to one side for the keen horticulturalist.

To the side of the main house is a detached stone building of good size. This characterful former pig sty is currently used as a laundry room and could offer a variety of possibilities. There is also a large garden store for outdoor equipment.
