About this property

  • Found in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Brockholt Cottage is a charming, traditional cottage that has been extended and updated by our clients to create a four-bedroom family home with a wonderful green outlook, spacious free-flowing accommodation, and an impressive principal bedroom suite.

    Seamlessly blending period charm with modern-day family living, the accommodation is arranged over three floors and comprises four sizeable bedrooms, a delightful sitting room fitted with a wood-burning stove, and an open-plan kitchen/dining room with an adjoining utility room. Other notable benefits include underfloor heating to the kitchen, hallway and bathrooms.

    The kitchen/dining room is fitted with shaker-style cabinets topped with oak worktops, and benefits from a range of integrated appliances including a dishwasher, double oven, microwave and induction hob. Two sets of French doors open out to the rear garden; ideal for entertaining in the summer months.

    The charming sitting room is approached from the entrance hall; where there is plenty of space for coats and boots, together with a wc. Fitted with an impressive feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove, the sitting room is double-aspect and enjoys a bay window overlooking the rear garden.

    The principal bedroom suite is found on the first floor, boasting vaulted ceilings, fitted wardrobes and a triple aspect view, together with a modern en suite shower room. There are two further sizeable bedrooms on the first floor, both served by the family bathroom. The final bedroom suite is found on the second floor, providing space for a double bed and enjoying an en suite wc with a separate freestanding bath; making an ideal guest suite or teenagers suite.

    To the front, there is a large, detached timber garage and workshop, with a mezzanine level to one side providing plentiful storage. The gravel driveway provides parking for up to approximately six vehicles, with a gate providing access to the garden.

    To the rear, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with hedged and fenced boundaries. There is a raised terrace with a pergola above and a further block paved terrace, creating an ideal space for entertaining friends with wonderful views across the neighbouring field.
