A 1.05-acre paddock is within a short walk of the cottage, where there is also a 40x20m arena and timber stable blocks including four loose boxes and a connecting yard between.
Further along from this paddock is a 5.93-acre field, which includes an open-faced barn/field shelter. A bridge connects this field to a smaller field/former orchard of 1.55 acres.
The ground floor of Bramble Cottage can be accessed from both the front door, leading into two connected entrance vestibules, and a side door from the driveway. This leads into an additional hall with stairs to the first floor. This layout allows the ground floor to function as a guest suite with its own private entrance, if desired. It features two to three bedrooms, along with a family-sized bathroom, and is connected to the first-floor living areas via two separate staircases.
The main living spaces are on the first floor. A kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the garden and is equipped with traditional country-style timber cabinetry, quartz-topped worksurfaces, and timber flooring. An Economy 7 AGA provides background heat and cooking options, while space is available for a separate electric cooker. The kitchen also includes room for both a washing machine and a dishwasher.
The kitchen/breakfast room leads into a formal dining area with parquet-style flooring. Beyond this are two additional reception rooms; a living room and a snug. A garden room connects with the breakfast area too.
On the second floor, there’s a master suite, which has French doors that open onto a balcony, and an additional double bedroom could serve as a dressing room. Both bedrooms share access to a separate shower room.
There is a 0.3-acre garden with a lawned area and mature trees and a range of former stables now repurposed as a workshop and storage area. The garden also has a summerhouse, a timber greenhouse another storage shed and a substantial ornamental pond.
