"If you re looking for a project to enhance through refurbishment or extension with planning approval granted on February 13, 2025 or wish to create your dream home, this one of a kind detached period cottage in the highly sought after village of Braybrooke just a short walk from the picturesque banks of the River Jordan could be the perfect opportunity.

Accommodation Step through the stable style door and you will immediately gain a sense of the period charm and character that this home has to offer, as well as the scope to create your dream home.

Timber beams and oak panelling immediately catch your eye. Stairs rising to the first floor are discreetly tucked to the side, while to your right you will find a lobby which leads through to the ground floor wet room, and the ground floor bedroom, which could serve as a snug or study . The dining room is to the left of the hall and features oak panelling, an open fireplace and an open flow into both the sitting room and garden room. You will also find a generous sized cupboard under the stairs that also provides Jack and Jill access into the ground floor third bedroom, or study .

The sitting room features a solid fuel burning stove, set within a deep, painted brick chimney breast. The current electric wet led boiler can be found within the recess to the side. Natural light fills the room through windows to the front and side, the latter a striking feature with an attractive view of the garden. A feature archway and internal window aperture provide further light that spills through the garden room beyond.

The garden room is a particularly striking feature of this home with its double height aspect, and its views of the garden and countryside beyond. The kitchen features a range of fitted units providing storage with work surfaces above, plumbing and space for a washing machine and dishwasher, space for a fridge freezer and oven, with access to the garden at the side.

Upstairs the sense of space continues, with the landing providing a minstrels gallery view of the garden room below. Up here you will find two double bedrooms, the larger of the two featuring a large dormer bay to the rear which has been configured to provide handy storage for shoes or trinkets. The family bathroom features a suite comprising bath, WC and wash hand basin, complemented by Elm floorboards.

Outside Attractive, landscaped gardens wrap this delightful cottage. With the front featuring lawns and bedding borders that flank the path to the canopied front door. A block paved drive to the side provides off road parking for two vehicles and leads through a secure gate into the simply stunning rear garden. Here you will find well stocked and well tended flower beds, with, at the time of writing, an abundance of snowdrops. A shaped lawn with open countryside views, leads to the small radial dining terrace and on to a striking pond water feature.
