Brickhill Road, Sandy, SG19

Sitting Room

The brick fireplace takes centre stage, with a stove beneath a chunky timber mantel and bookshelves filling the alcoves either side. Casement windows bring light from two aspects, while timber doors and ironmongery add to the cottage character. The carpet is wonderfully soft underfoot, the sort your toes sink into when the shoes come off. Plenty of room for company, though the chair by the fire may prove difficult to share.

Dining Room

Exposed wall timbers and a substantial ceiling beam give the dining room its character, with a stove set into a deep brick fireplace beneath a broad timber lintel. Warm wood flooring, casement windows and traditional latched doors complete the setting. The kitchen is conveniently alongside, with room around the table for long lunches and guests who need little encouragement to stay for pudding.

Kitchen

Cream cabinetry and timber worktops give the kitchen a country feel, with a deep Belfast sink, traditional mixer tap and green chequered tiling adding colour and character. Glazed cupboards, a plate rack and open shelving keep favourite crockery within reach. Wood flooring continues the warmth, while the glazed stable door brings the garden into view. A cheerful place to put the kettle on and decide what’s for supper.

Back Porch

A useful stop between the garden and the house, with access to the utility room and downstairs bathroom. Somewhere to leave muddy shoes before heading through to the kitchen.

Utility Room

Tucked away from the main living spaces, the separate utility room keeps everyday chores behind their own door, conveniently beside the kitchen and rear porch.

Ground Floor Bathroom

A panelled bath with shower above and folding glass screen offers a quick morning rinse or a longer evening soak. A traditional pedestal basin and WC sit against textured tiling, with warm wood effect flooring underfoot. An exposed ceiling beam keeps the cottage character present, while an obscured window brings in daylight with privacy.

Cellar

Reached by steps, the cellar provides additional space beneath the house.

Master Bedroom

Broad exposed floorboards, gently sloping ceilings and dark wall timbers give the principal bedroom its cottage charm. A recessed casement window frames the greenery outside, while a timber door with traditional ironmongery continues the character. There is generous space for a large bed, wardrobes and somewhere to sit with the first coffee of the day. Breakfast downstairs can wait.

Second Bedroom

Dark exposed timbers trace the walls beneath sloping ceilings, with a recessed casement window looking out to greenery. Pale carpet softens the room, while timber doors with black ironmongery lend a pleasing contrast to the white walls. A generous double with space for wardrobes and a dressing table or desk, giving its occupant room to do rather more than sleep.

Third Bedroom

Reached by its own staircase from the kitchen, this double bedroom offers a little independence, with direct access to the upstairs bathroom. Sloping ceilings, exposed timbers and latched wooden doors retain the cottage character, while a recessed casement window overlooks greenery. Grey carpet and space for a desk make it a comfortable choice for guests or a teenager keen on their own corner of the house.

Upstairs Bathroom

Accessed directly from bedroom three, the upstairs bathroom provides a bath, basin and WC, with a window bringing in natural light. A convenient arrangement for overnight guests or family using this part of the house.

Frontage

Cream render, a sweeping tiled roof and tall brick chimneys give the cottage a handsome presence, with traditional casement windows and a bright red front door beneath a timber canopy. To the side, a gravel driveway provides parking and access to the detached garage. An arrival with plenty of character and somewhere to leave the car.

Rear Garden

A central lawn is framed by deep borders of mature shrubs, roses and trees, with brick paths and paved seating areas offering places for morning coffee and lunches outdoors. The cottage’s tiled roof and dormer windows make a lovely backdrop, while a painted summerhouse sits tucked among the planting. Take a book down there and very little else needs doing.

Garage

A substantial detached garage with two side windows and a separate door to the garden, offering ample room for parking, a workshop or hobbies. Its generous proportions may also invite exploration of conversion into high quality studio accommodation for rental income, subject to feasibility, planning permission, listed building consent where required and building regulations approval.
