6 bed 4 bath Cottage
Spacious rural home with paddocks, stables and wide-ranging family potential.
Just over two acres with paddocks, stable, livestock pens and orchard
Detached cottage plus barn conversion — six to seven bedrooms total
Three gated driveways and parking for 10+ vehicles
Two bespoke shaker kitchens; quality recent renovations throughout
South-facing gardens, summer house, pond, greenhouse and apiary
Oil-fired and LPG heating — higher running costs likely
Very slow broadband (approx. 2 Mbps) — poor for heavy home working
Barn paperwork pending verification; buyer to confirm building regs
Set across just over two acres, Brookbreasting Cottage combines period character with contemporary renovation across a main cottage and a detached barn conversion. Together they provide six to seven bedrooms, four reception rooms and two bespoke shaker kitchens, creating flexible space for multi-generational living, guests or home-based business use. The grounds include paddocks, a stable, livestock pens and extensive parking via three gated driveways.
The interiors have been recently refurbished: new plumbing and electrics, modern radiators, USB sockets, hard-wired detectors and quality finishes such as Quartz worktops and bi-folding doors opening to south-facing gardens. Practical outdoor features include a greenhouse, vegetable plots, an apiary, large pond with waterfall and multiple seating areas — appealing to families and equestrian owners.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the properties use oil and LPG heating (oil-fired boiler in the cottage), broadband speeds are very slow (approx. 2 Mbps download), and council tax is high (Band F). The vendor advises the barn conversion is said to be signed off, but buyers must verify building regulation paperwork independently before purchase.
Overall this is a rare semi-rural opportunity for purchasers seeking a character home with significant land and outbuildings. It suits families, multi-generational households or those needing equestrian or small-holding facilities, provided you accept the heating type, confirm statutory consents and can manage limited broadband speeds.
