In particular the Ridgeway, Midshires Way and Buckinghamshire Way provide opportunities for a number of historic and picturesque walks and riding. Description Brook Cottage is a charming, Grade II Listed detached country home set in a beautiful setting with wonderful countryside views. The house has attractive gardens and paddocks to all sides and offer a superb opportunity to create a bespoke country home of true character in a peaceful yet accessible spot.
On the ground floor the sitting room has some wonderful character beams and a large inglenook fireplace. The dining room enjoys wonderful views over the gardens and paddocks. The kitchen gives access to the boot room/large porch. The study/bedroom 5 has an en suite shower room and would make a good third reception room. Two staircases rise to the first floor where all the bedrooms enjoy countryside views with three of the four bedrooms having fitted cupboards or wardrobes. There is also a family bathroom. The whole house requires a good degree of modernisation but offers a fantastic opportunity for a buyer seeking a project in a superb country setting.
Outside Brook Cottage is approached over a long driveway with areas of lawn to either side up to a five bar gate providing access to the immediate grounds. The driveway sweeps around the house to a generous parking area with a detached triple carport and further timber outbuilding.
The gardens are westerly facing and there is a terrace area to two sides of the house with a well. The remainder is laid to a large expanse of lawn with mature fruit trees. The gardens are bounded by post and rail fencing and back and side onto the paddock owned by the property. A smaller paddock lies to the front of the house and lovely countryside views are enjoyed from almost every angle. About 4.5 acres in all.
