Set on nearly an acre of landscaped garden and private woodland in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this detached three-bedroom home offers a rare rural setting with far-reaching valley views. The plot includes a brook, multiple outbuildings and a stone barn, giving excellent scope for gardeners, hobbyists or those seeking expansion (subject to planning).
The house retains character features such as exposed stone, beams and a wood-burning stove, with well-proportioned rooms across two storeys. Accommodation includes a sitting room, kitchen with Aga, conservatory/dining room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus a utility/boiler room and garage. The property is offered chain free.
Brook Cottage requires modernisation throughout and has clear renovation potential and scope to extend (STPP). Practical considerations include oil-fired heating, private drainage (septic tank), very slow broadband and an EPC rating of E. Some external walls are traditional stone with no assumed insulation, so energy upgrades will be needed.
For families seeking countryside lifestyle, the location is peaceful and secure with very low crime, good local primary school provision and easy access to established farming communities. Buyers planning improvements will find a large, sheltered plot and multiple outbuildings to support projects, but should budget for heating, insulation and drainage upgrades.
