Description

Brook Cottage stands as a unique three-bedroom detached home, situated on the outskirts of St. Briavels in a picturesque setting. Encompassing around an acre of gardens and woodlands, bordered by a soothing brook, this property offers significant renovation potential for those looking to create their ideal residence amidst stunning natural scenery. The interior features a spacious sitting room with a charming wood-burning stove housed within an exposed stone surround, providing a welcoming atmosphere. A door from the sitting room leads to the kitchen, which comes equipped with base units and an Aga, although it requires modernisation to meet contemporary standards. An airy conservatory/dining area off the kitchen floods the space with natural light, perfect for enjoying views of the countryside throughout the year. The first floor includes a family bathroom along with three bedrooms: two ample double rooms featuring exposed beams and built-in wardrobes, and a third versatile room suitable as an office or guest bedroom. Externally, the grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature plants and trees, alongside private woodland that enhances privacy. The property also features practical amenities like a garage and off-road parking. Moreover, there are several outbuildings including a character stone barn, greenhouses for gardening enthusiasts, and a summerhouse designed to take advantage of the tranquil surroundings. This property represents an outstanding opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors eager to enhance its charm while capitalising on its picturesque location.
