Brook Cottage is a charming, detached property that offers a picture-perfect setting on the outskirts of the sought after village of St. Briavels. Nestled within approximately an acre of landscaped gardens and woodland bordered by a brook, the property holds immense potential in a truly breathtaking setting.
The Property
Brook Cottage is a delightful three-bedroom detached cottage, set within a generous plot approaching one acre and enjoying far reaching views over the Wye Valley. The property offers fantastic potential and is in need of modernisation throughout, making it an excellent opportunity to create a dream home in a truly idyllic setting.
The ground floor opens into a spacious sitting room with a wood-burning stove set in an exposed stone surround, creating a warm and inviting focal point. From here, a door leads through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of base units and features an Aga.
Beyond the kitchen is a light-filled conservatory/dining room, ideal for enjoying the surrounding countryside throughout the seasons.
A separate hallway, with room for a study or reading nook, houses the staircase to the first floor.
Upstairs, the landing leads to a family bathroom fitted with a bath with shower over, WC, and wash basin. The accommodation continues with three bedrooms; two generous double bedrooms, both with exposed beams and fitted wardrobes, and a third bedroom, ideal as a study, nursery or guest room.
Outside
One of the standout features of this property is its beautiful gardens and grounds, which are home to a rich variety of mature shrubs and trees. Beyond the main garden lies an area of private woodland and running alongside the property is a peaceful brook.
The property also benefits from a garage and off-road parking. Adjoining the house is a utility/boiler room, housing the oil-fired boiler. This space also includes plumbing for a washing machine, a WC, and a wash hand basin. External steps from this area lead up to a charming raised terrace which is the perfect spot to soak up the wonderful views.
Additional outbuildings include a characterful stone barn, an attached greenhouse and potting shed, a second greenhouse, a spacious woodstore, a garden store, and a delightful summerhouse, ideal for enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
