Description
Originally two farmers’ cottages, Brook Cottage offers a pretty Cotswold home, the main part of which dates to 1802 with later sympathetic extensions.

The most recent extension is now the heart of the home, creating a stylish open-plan living/dining area adjoining the kitchen. A sedum roof complements the contemporary design, while full-width sliding glass doors overlook the front garden, filling the room with natural light. There is ample space for a large dining table, together with breakfast bar seating, while the kitchen itself features a red AGA and extensive cabinetry providing discreet storage.

A good-sized reception room works equally well for entertaining as for everyday family life. Dual-aspect windows overlook the front and rear gardens, while a wood burner creates a warming focal point.

A spacious laundry room leads off the kitchen, ideal for hiding washing along with muddy boots and coats, together with a cloakroom.

Stairs from the sitting room lead to four bedrooms arranged over the upper two floors. The first floor comprises two bedrooms, including a good-sized principal bedroom with en-suite, alongside a second bedroom and a family bathroom.

Two further bedrooms are located on the upper floor, one of which also has an en-suite shower room and both with lovely original beams adding character and a sense of the building's history. All four bedrooms enjoy pretty views across the paddock and to the Horsley Valley beyond.

A large landing on the top floor is currently used as a home office, providing useful additional space away from the main living areas.

Grounds, Paddock and Stables
The garden and paddock together extend to just under two acres.

A pretty garden envelops the house, with well-stocked borders, ponds, a summerhouse and a choice of gravel seating areas.

A 1.6-acre paddock lies directly opposite the cottage, together with three stables and a hay store.

There is also a double garage providing parking for cars and horse trailers, along with useful additional storage. The area above the garage has a boarded floor and would make an ideal home office.
