Willow Brook Cottage is a tranquil haven set on the edge of one of the region’s favoured villages, offering a host of possibilities for family life. The house was built in 1969. It has since been altered and extended to create a versatile family home designed to maximise enjoyment of its southerly light, fabulous plot and rural views.
The property has been in the same ownership for 26 years and has been diligently maintained and updated in that time, including the installation of solar panels air conditioning. The house now offers four comfortable living rooms served by a beautifully appointed kitchen. On the first floor there is a family bathroom and five bedrooms, two of which have ensuite facilities.
The hall provides access to each of the reception rooms and to the guest cloakroom. The dining room to the left is a superb size offering space to seat at least 12 comfortably for a dinner party. It enjoys a triple aspect. Along the hall is the study, which has been beautifully fitted with a range of furniture by Neville Johnson. The drawing room is a magnificent living room with a handsome fireplace as a focal point. The room is sufficiently large to provide various seating arrangements and space for dining if desired. Two sets of doors open to the terrace and afford great views across the garden and fields beyond.
The breakfast room offers ample space for family mealtimes and is set adjacent to the kitchen which is superbly appointed with a range of wall and base units by John Lewis, topped with granite worksurfaces and inset sink. Neff electric ovens, a warming drawer and a combination oven are fitted, along with an induction hob. A pantry stands to one end. A stable door leads to the utility cum sunroom.
