About
A charming and deceptively spacious four/five bedroom end of terrace period cottage, beautifully presented throughout and enjoying off road parking and a delightful, well-enclosed rear garden, situated in the ever-popular New Forest village of Brockenhurst within a short walk of the mainline railway station and village centre.
Believed to date from the Victorian era and forming the end of an attractive terrace of period cottages, number 5 combines characterful brick elevations with banded detailing and sash windows with bright, tastefully modernised accommodation arranged over two floors.
The property has been the subject of considerable improvement by the current owners and offers versatile living space ideally suited to family life, with the flexibility of a ground floor fifth bedroom with en suite facilities.
The accommodation is arranged as follows: A practical entrance hallway with fitted storage, bench seating and a traditional coat rack opens through to the generous triple aspect sitting room, a wonderfully light and sociable space centred around a contemporary log burning stove, with engineered oak flooring and stairs rising to the first floor.
A further reception room, currently arranged as a comfortable snug, offers excellent flexibility as a fifth bedroom benefitting from its own en suite shower room, comprising corner shower enclosure, pedestal wash basin, WC and heated towel rail making it ideal for guests, dependent relatives or those seeking ground floor accommodation.
To the rear of the property, the impressive kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home.
Refitted in a classic shaker style with a comprehensive range of grey fronted wall and base units, contrasting worksurfaces and tiled splashbacks, the kitchen is well equipped with an eye-level double oven, gas hob, integrated washing machine and space for further appliances.
The adjoining dining area features a bespoke fitted banquette dining table within the bay window, perfect for family meals and entertaining alike, with French doors opening directly onto the raised decked terrace and rear garden beyond.
To the first floor, a skylight lit landing serves four well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is a particularly handsome double, with a large sash window enjoying a pleasant outlook.
There are two further double bedrooms, one featuring a charming fitted window seat within the bay overlooking the garden, together with a fourth single bedroom.
The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising panelled bath with shower over and glazed screen, pedestal wash basin, WC and heated towel rail, and is naturally lit by a skylight.
