SELLER INSIGHT

I had been searching for a property in the countryside that had a parcel of land for my daughter’s pony, so Brock Cottage looked very promising! There’s no passing traffic here as the cottage is located at the end of a quiet lane, and I immediately fell in love with it as I drove in through the 5-bar gated entrance,” says the owner.

“It’s so private here but I’ve never once felt isolated as everything I need is easily accessible and I have lovely neighbours. There are a good range of shops and supermarkets nearby, and Godstone, a beautiful little village just down the road, has a pretty duck pond and some wonderful places to eat. It’s just a short walk to the old smuggler’s pub, The Fox and Hounds, where you’ll always be assured of a warm welcome and good food. There are lots of footpaths easily accessible from the property which offer miles and miles of scenic walks through countryside and woodland.”

“The front room / snug area overlooks the garden which provides an ever-changing view as the seasons pass by. The daffodils in spring are simply stunning. I tend to spend most of my time in the living area at the rear of the house as it’s a cosy and welcoming space with a couple of big sofas and an inglenook-style fireplace with an open fire. Brock Cottage is perfect for day-to-day family life and entertaining as there is a formal dining area, parking to the front, and a huge patio area to the rear which is ideal for BBQs and get-togethers with friends and family. The accommodation is versatile and has plenty of storage, both inside and out, as well as space to grow your own fruit and veg.”

“There is very little light pollution here, so clear nights and starry skies are the norm. The farmer’s field next to the property is bursting with wildlife, including wild deer, rabbits, and birds of prey wheeling overhead, so there’s always something interesting to look out for. Brock House is more than just a family home, it’s a lifestyle, and it deserves to be filled with people, fun, and laughter. I’ve lived here for 19 years and will leave with many good memories but the time is right for me to move on to a new chapter and live closer to my family.”*

There is also a useful utility room and a ground floor cloakroom.

From the reception hall a half-turn staircase leads to a bright first floor landing with four bedrooms comprising 2 doubles and 2 singles and the family bathroom

The landing provides access to the loft and has a side aspect window providing fabulous views across the garden to adjoining countryside.

The front aspect master bedroom has an excellent range of built in wardrobe cupboards.

Bedroom two is another double and has a superb outlook over the rear garden towards the orchard.

Bedroom three overlooks the front garden whilst the side aspect bedroom four, like the kitchen breakfast room and landing, has stunning westerly aspect views towards the setting sun.

The well appointed bathroom includes a matching 3 piece suite plus a walk in shower and a heated towel rail.

Outside your journey into an amazing life of opportunity unfolds before you.

The gardens are part formal with a delightful orchard and offer so much space for a wide variety of outdoor activities in a fabulous countryside setting.

In addition to the excellent garage, the varied range of outbuildings includes a substantial barn with stabling potential, a detached office room, a timber shed and a tractor/wood store.
