The good sized kitchen table, providing space for children to do their homework, can be transformed for cosy candlelight dinners when they are tucked up in bed. A practical utility room and a pantry, with separate outside access, are just off the kitchen. This provides an ideal space for boots and drying off muddy dogs after a long hike.
To the rear, the sitting room is a serene space with garden views and French doors opening out to the terrace — ideal for that indoors outdoors feel sipping a G & T on long summer evenings. Meanwhile the feature open fireplace provides for a cosy focal point in winter.
The snug and a separate study add versatility to the ground floor for home working or as a hobbies room. There is an impressive downstairs double bedroom with an en-suite shower, ideal as a guest suite or multi-generational living.
And So to Bed
On mounting the stairs after an active day, the principal bedroom provides a place of tranquillity with its own en-suite bathroom, dressing room and views over the garden and surrounding Cotswold countryside. The current owner describes this bedroom as the perfect place to unwind and read a book. Three further bedrooms offer generous accommodation, served by a modern family bathroom.
Bramley House is approached via a private driveway with ample parking set, unsurprisingly, beneath a mature Bramley apple tree – a great source of fruit on its own, or to go with blackberries foraged on an autumnal walk in the surrounding countryside. Meanwhile the west-facing garden to the rear of the house is one of its loveliest features: established, private and thoughtfully planted, with lawn and stone walling. This haven is ideal for entertaining by the barbeque on long summer evenings, for green-fingered pottering, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet.
