Outdoor Space, Gardens & Land: A 1.5-Acre Natural Haven
The grounds of Brook House are a true extension of its idyllic and remote character, spanning approximately 1.5 acres and offering a diverse tapestry of natural beauty and opportunities for self-sufficiency. The brook itself is a central feature, meandering gently across the land.
To the frontage of the cottage, a delightful central view is created by two raised ponds, with paved surrounds. From this area, two sets of steps lead up to a higher lawned area. Mature trees are dotted throughout the landscape, providing natural shade, privacy, and a rich habitat for local wildlife.
The grounds also feature a dedicated coppice area, adding to the rustic woodland feel, and an orchard boasting various fruit trees, including productive apricot and walnut trees, offering the promise of home-grown harvests. Across the far front stream, lies a paddock area, ideal for grazing or as a wilder meadow.
For those aspiring to a self-sufficient lifestyle, the property is exceptionally well-equipped. To the front of the cottage, a large greenhouse is a gardener's delight, home to two thriving peach trees and sweet grapes, while a dedicated vegetable patch to the rear provide ample opportunity to fill the freezer. A useful field shed and a separate garden shed provide ample storage for tools and outdoor equipment.
