Brockham Hill, Froyle, GU34

The property retains all of the inherent character of a building of this period with fireplaces and exposed beams. The accommodation includes an elegant sitting room with a fireplace and French doors opening out to a small courtyard garden, snug (with a fireplace and a wood burning stove) and a spacious dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a full range of cabinets and pan drawers together with an electric hob with an extractor fan over, oven and ceramic tiled floor. The first floor accommodation has been enhanced with the creation of a principal bedroom suite with an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Of note, there are fine views from most of the rooms over either the well-tended garden or the surrounding open farmland. The cottage is complemented by a very useful detached outbuilding currently arranged as a home office and store. This is a versatile space that could be utilised for variety of different purposes.

Outside

The private driveway is approached via a pair of electric oak gates and provides ample parking and access to the front. The inner garden provides a beautiful setting with areas of lawn, pond, well-established borders and a variety of young and mature trees. A terrace (with an electric awning) adjoins the outbuilding and provides an ideal outside seating area. A five bar gate provides access to the small stable yard with two loose boxes, power and water. A ‘wild garden’ has evolved within the former adjoining paddock. A mobile double field shelter is also set within this area. This is a wonderful ‘area of retreat’ with breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside. There is a paddock (accessed via two five bar gates directly from the lane) set to the opposite side of the lane together with a mobile double field shelter.
