Description
Elizabethan Cottage is an elegant, Grade II listed Cotswold stone cottage located in the picturesque rural hamlet of Brook End overlooking the infant River Avon and a wooded backdrop.

Set within some 0.25 acres, the cottage is accompanied by a wonderful garden and self-contained studio annexe above the double garage.
The main accommodation extends to around 1,954 sq.ft. arranged over two floors. The ground floor layout includes two reception rooms, a remodelled kitchen/dining room, and a conservatory overlooking the garden. The impressive kitchen/dining room is at the heart of the home and has been reconfigured as open plan with a bespoke fitted kitchen from Parlour Farm incorporating a range of integrated features including a larder, charging drawer, freezer, fridge, steam oven, microwave-combi oven, warming drawer, and two-drawer dishwasher. The dining area has a wood-burning stove within the stone fireplace, whilst beneath the stairs has been fitted as a wine store with glass fronted doors and lighting. The characterful living room also has a wood-burning stove. The family room connects to the conservatory while a utility room is located off the entrance hall. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms with the principal bedroom having it's own staircase and wing including an en-suite shower room and dressing area. The other three bedrooms are served by the family bathroom which has both a roll-top bath and shower unit.
A fantastic outbuilding offers a double garage and annexe accommodation. The double garage has been divided to provide a home gym. The annexe is entered at the rear of the outbuilding with a shower room on the ground floor whilst upstairs comprises a fitted kitchen, living room and bedroom with fitted wardrobes.
Double timber gates to the side of the cottage opens to a gravelled driveway providing parking for several cars in front of the garage. The enchanting gardens have been professionally landscaped into various secluded areas to enjoy including a patio terraced framed by a pergola. A charming timber bridge crosses a lily pond to an additional seating area bound by vibrant shrubs and flowers. Beyond, there is a large lawn leading down to the River Avon banks.
