A quintessential detached period country cottage situated in the enviable setting overlooking the village common.
Occupying an enviable setting overlooking The Common on the edge of Broughton Gifford, this pretty five bedroom period home presents a rare chance to acquire a property in one of the village’s most coveted settings. Beautifully maintained by the current owners, the home offers wonderfully versatile accommodation to include a ground floor bedroom suite, generous reception spaces and the added advantage of a detached garage with an impressive self contained studio annexe above.
Approached via an entrance porch, the property opens into a substantial central reception/dining room measuring 21’3” x 12’9”. This elegant space forms the hub of the home, with a wood burning stove creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. From here, a study provides an ideal retreat for home working or quiet reading. Positioned to the front of the house and enjoying far reaching, south facing views across The Common, the kitchen/breakfast room forms part of a later extension and offers exceptional scope. Extending to 18’9” x 25’, it currently provides extensive fitted cabinetry, space for freestanding appliances and a large breakfast table, but could readily be reimagined as a superb open plan kitchen, dining and family room. To the rear, the sitting room enjoys a westerly aspect, capturing the afternoon and evening sun. Dual aspect windows and French doors flood the room with natural light and provide seamless access to the garden. A feature fireplace with open fire adds charm and character.
Beyond, a generous ground floor bedroom with modern ensuite and French doors to the garden offers excellent flexibility ideal for guests, multi-generational living or an additional reception space if preferred.
The first floor comprises three further bedrooms and a family shower room. The principal bedroom enjoys dual aspect views over The Common and the west facing garden, along with built in wardrobes and a contemporary ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is a comfortable double, while the third overlooking The Common lends itself perfectly to use as a study or nursery.
Gardens
The west facing garden is a delightful feature of the property: largely private, thoughtfully planted and designed to capture the afternoon sun. With multiple seating areas, established borders and a level lawn, it is an ideal setting for outdoor dining, children’s play or simply enjoying the tranquillity of this idyllic village location.
Annexe
A significant asset is the detached garage with power and lighting, topped by a spacious self contained studio annexe. Comprising a generous living/bedroom area, kitchenette and bathroom, this versatile space is perfectly suited to a home office, creative studio, gym, guest accommodation or potential long or short term letting (subject to any necessary consents).
