Rossall Cottage, Belbroughton

Hidden away in the centre of the most sought-after village of Belbroughton is Rossall Cottage, situated at the end of a private driveway and surrounded by one and a half acres of garden.
When standing in the garden, it is difficult to believe that you are in the midst of a busy village and are well within walking distance of the village shop with post office, GP Surgery, primary school, hairdressers, deli and three public houses. The original property itself dates back nearly one hundred years and has been sympathetically extended to provide a lovely spacious family home.

The accommodation comprises a large reception porch, reception hall, downstairs cloakroom, formal dining room, lounge, sitting room with conservatory, large kitchen with pantry and utility room.

On the first floor there is a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, three further bedrooms and house bathroom. There is also a roof terrace.
The property is enhanced with leaded windows, ceiling beams and wooden floors downstairs, giving it a lovely country feel.

Outside, special attention is drawn to the gardens which provide a high degree of privacy and views over open countryside. There is also a double garage with workshop, original stable block, log store, greenhouse and a large gravelled area at the front of the property which provides more than ample parking.

The current owners have lived in Rossall Cottage for nearly twenty five years – as did the previous owners before them. It is very rare that such a property, in such a prime location, comes onto the market. Do not miss the opportunity to make this home your own.
