4 bedroom detached house for sale

A CHARMING PERIOD RESIDENCE IN A CLASSIC SETTING ON BROCKHAM’S VILLAGE GREEN .....

Elm Cottage is an exceptional example of a fine detached Grade II listed cottage dating from the 16th century, and occupying a highly prominent and important position on of one of Surrey’s most prized village greens, with delightful views across to the church. The property displays many period characteristics, including a wealth of exposed oak joinery and magnificent Inglenook fireplace to the dining room and a general sense of charm and character so typical of the archetypal English country cottage. The ceiling heights in the principle receptions are higher than a commensurate cottage of this period, with the three bedrooms (all with en-suite facilities) to the first floor all having fabulous high vaulted ceilings – again displaying many exposed timbers. The property is very well presented throughout and comprises an entrance hall, a most impressive dining room and a good sized study/downstairs bedroom 4. The sitting room is a charming room with double aspect on the southerly and westerly sides of the house, therefore allowing an abundance of light with an open fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted and is to the rear of the property, enjoying a wonderful outlook over the well kept grounds. From the kitchen there is a rear lobby leading to a downstairs cloakroom, utility room and boiler room. Outside the gardens are a lovely feature of Elm Cottage having been carefully and sympathetically landscaped and there is an attractive patio that makes for a great entertaining/seating area, adjacent to the property. The well tended lawns are interspersed with flower and shrub borders and further down the garden, there is heated swimming pool with a recently updated terrace and adjacent a pool house. At the end of the garden there is dedicated area for a kitchen garden. To the front of the property there is a pretty front garden with a central gate leading directly onto the village green and a driveway which provides parking and access to the detached garage. In all, the grounds extend to about a 1/3 of an acre.
