Brickfields, Wotton-under-Edge

A beautifully renovated three-bedroom, mid-terrace cottage set over three floors, filled with character features and enjoying far-reaching views. The cottage has extensive gardens and benefits from a newly built garage incorporating a studio and off-road parking.

2 Brickfields is believed to date back to the mid-1800s and is part of a row of former brick workers’ cottages enjoying a rural outlook, yet within easy walking distance of the town centre. Each room boasts beautiful period features including exposed stonework, beams, and latch doors. Under the current ownership, over the last 10 years the property has been completely renovated to a very high specification, including a new kitchen, bathroom, windows, external door, and garage with adjoining studio.

The ground floor is entered into a welcoming sitting room with a large window overlooking the garden. A fireplace with a wood burner inset forms a real focal point, with alcoves to either side incorporating bespoke cabinetry and a log store. A door from the sitting room opens to a turned staircase rising to the first floor. The whole of the ground floor is finished with bespoke wood-effect, low-maintenance laminate flooring. The kitchen sits across the rear of the property, enjoying views over open fields. There is an excellent range of base cabinets finished with quartz worktops, with space for a gas range cooker and space and plumbing for a washing machine. One side of the kitchen has been dedicated to a wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinets, providing excellent storage. Integrated appliances comprise a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The room provides ample space for a dining table and chairs. To the far corner, a door leads to an entrance porch with space to hang coats and store shoes, with an external door out to the courtyard at the front of the property.

On the first floor there is a generously proportioned bedroom with beams and an exposed brick chimney breast with inset shelving. To one side of the chimney breast is a built-in wardrobe. Further along the landing is the contemporary family bathroom comprising a white suite with a bath with shower over, WC, and wash hand basin. Adjacent to the bathroom is a single bedroom currently used as a study. The boiler is housed in this room and was replaced just a few years ago.
