Property
Brambling Cottage forms one of just two individually designed, four-bedroom detached homes being constructed by a well-known and highly regarded local developer. Designed specifically to complement its attractive village setting, the house combines traditional architectural styling with a contemporary specification and carefully considered accommodation for modern family living. Constructed using traditional brick and block methods, the property features pale rendered front elevations with brick-faced side and rear elevations, beneath a pitched roof finished with traditional red pantiles. Anthracite grey detailing to the soffits, bargeboards and cladding provides a contemporary contrast, whilst built-in bat and swift boxes have been incorporated into the design. Internally, the house has been finished to a high standard, with a considered palette of natural and contemporary materials. Porcelain limestone-effect tiles and engineered natural oak flooring feature throughout the principal ground floor areas, with carpeting to the bedrooms, landing and stairs and oak-effect luxury vinyl tiles to the first-floor bathrooms. Oak internal doors complement the overall finish.

The specification includes a ceramic butler sink, Bosch five-zone induction hob, built-in oven and microwave, Lamona fridge freezer and dishwasher, together with a wine and drinks cooler and integrated bin unit.
