A detached three double bedroom character cottage situated on the edge of Sampford Spiney, dating back approximately 200 years. Brook Cottage is a former farm workers cottage which was extended to provide a good size kitchen and third double bedroom upstairs. The property sits in an elevated position overlooking nearby fields and countryside, with pleasant green views from most windows. Downstairs you enter to a lobby with cloakroom, store room for logs and cloaks cupboard, then through to a kitchen with double aspect windows and a separate larder, with plenty of other storage. The sitting and dining rooms have been combined to provide a spacious but cosy reception room with character features including painted beams, recess shelving and a log burner. An inner hallway leads to a study plus the downstairs bathroom which has a shower over the bath. Upstairs are three good size double bedrooms, all of which have some kind of built in storage.
Externally we believe the gardens amount to approximately a third of an acre. The main part of the garden is adjacent to the house with lawned areas and a path to the rear. The garden leads down to a brook at the bottom of the hill and also goes up past the house with an area of fruit trees and bushes. There is a very useful parking area opposite the property which has space for 4-6 cars.
