Brightwell Baldwin

First time to the market in 22 years, Winterbrook presents this beautifully enhanced and modernised 5 Bedroom Cottage in a highly sought-after village location. Retaining many of its original ‘period features`, the property was extended to create a spacious, well thought out & unique family home. With the properties studious layout & design, it benefits prospective buyers to tailor the different `living` & `dining` spaces to their individual requirements. Bespoke in its nature, Heathfield offers a private and tranquil spot amongst Brightwell Baldwin`s quaint village and boasts picturesque views of the opposing church and it`s grounds.

Accommodation:
On entrance into Heathfield, you will be greeted with an exposed brick entrance hall, leading to a large landing area, downstairs bathroom, and double-sided living/dining areas. To the left of the property, you have a dining/living area with 2 separate additional spaces such as a secluded snug, encased with a double sided log burner, steps to a private ‘study`/`play` zone and an exposed brick ‘garden room` – perfect for window gazing on to the rear garden. Tailoring off to the right of the property you will find a large open plan kitchen, dining/sitting room, which benefits from an open fireplace and further separate study room. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with custom, handmade oak cabinets, black granite work tops, Belfast sink, mixer tap with drinking filter and Quooker boiling water tap, integrated appliances, and space for a wide range oven with canopy extractor fan. Storage is not an issue in this Kitchen, with a full height double crockery cupboard, extra deep pan drawers and a spacious walk-in pantry with oak shelving, it boasts a smart, space saving design. If the Kitchen is the ‘hub of your home` like it is to many, the open plan sitting/dining space & open fire is the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the company of others. Throughout the home, the property boasts ‘Under Floor Heating` providing the perfect temperature, all year round. The downstairs has oak flooring throughout, with upstairs carpeted except for the bathrooms which are nicely tiled.

The first-floor gallery landing has a unique ‘Juliet Balcony` with a view of the downstairs entrance hall and front garden area. This provides access to the main Master Bedroom, and a hallway to the opposing side which has another 3 bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom benefits from beautiful views of the village church, and a spacious en suite with walk-in ‘Power Shower`. The second bedroom is of generous size and benefits from an en suite and ascertains idyllic views of the garden & village. The two further bedrooms are separated by the family bathroom and are enclosed together, the larger of bedrooms provides views of the church and village and accommodates a very spacious layout.

Unique benefit of this very versatile property is its Double Garage with built above Annexe, ideal for use as a `granny flat`, `guest or au-pair accommodation`, or possible use of Air BNB which has become a seemingly popular idea to those with additional accommodation space. On the First Floor is where you will find a large double bedroom with its own bathroom. The Annexe has independent heating and hot water. In the main area on the ground floor of the double garage provides a huge space currently used for storage, a workshop and home gym alongside a Kitchenette and Belfast sink which is currently used as the laundry room/utility space.

Brick peers with double timber gates and a gravel driveway lead to the property`s front and rear gardens and provides parking for several vehicles. To the front there are raised flower beds and a secure, private, and large flat lawn area, enclosed on two sides by a mature beech hedge. To the rear of the house is a wide paved patio and seating area, perfect for those `Bistro` style barbecues, surrounded with flower and shrub borders and another area of nicely landscaped lawn. Due to its prime location and plot, the property is not overlooked and has a feeling of `Detached` although by build is a `Semi`.
