5 bedroom house

This delightful period property has been a much-loved family home for the last 50 years. To really appreciate the feel and charm of this wonderful country house, you have to wander about, sit in it, explore it, and experience the tranquillity. Then you will fall in love with it and get to appreciate the huge potential it has to offer a family.

The pretty detached annexe to the main house is classified by the council as a separate dwelling which offers two huge benefits: Massive saving on stamp duty (in the region of £60,000) due to Multiple Dwellings Relief, and the annexe can be let for income if desired, or used as a fantastic home office.

Brock Hill Cottage is a beautiful home that is full of character but has also been modernised to some degree over the years so offers the perfect blend of old and new, however further opportunities exist to put your own stamp on it.  The ground floor layout is traditional currently with a separate kitchen and dining room, however it could easily be reconfigured to provide a stunning open-plan kitchen diner overlooking the beautiful garden. The ground floor also offers an elegant drawing room, an additional generous reception room, a separate study, downstairs cloakroom, storeroom, utility room, larder, and a wonderful glass roofed veranda which provides the ultimate space for outdoor living and makes the most of the views over the garden and across the fields to Lambrook School.  The house sits in a 1 acre plot excluding the paddock.  Upstairs there is a fine master suite that runs the full depth of the house and includes a large bedroom, separate dressing room, and a modern en suite bathroom.  There are 3 further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. 

The detached annexe comprises a kitchen and living room, with a bedroom and modern bathroom. It also has its own enclosed private patio area at the rear. The windows largely face the rear of the annexe affording total privacy and lovely views over the paddock.  This building could also serve as a spacious self-contained home office.

The property is accessed via electric gates and has an integral garage leading to the kitchen of the main house, and a separate single garage located next to the annexe. The south facing garden has a large lawn with mature well stocked borders, a summer house, a tennis court, a greenhouse, two sheds, and an arbour shaded by a lovely wisteria which provides an additional outdoor entertaining area. Along the western boundary of the house there is also a 3.75 acre field ideal for ponies or livestock, which can be accessed both from the main house, and through a five-bar gate from the road. Neighbours have expressed interest in buying some or all of this field in the past to extend their outdoor spaces, so if you don't want 3.75 acres of land, there may be options to reduce the size of the paddock and make some money from the sale after purchase.
