Description

An unmissable opportunity in this sought after village, a spacious double-fronted Victorian house with around 1.75 acres of riverside gardens including fishing rights on the River Stour.

This handsome and deceptively spacious property is situated on the outskirts of the village, yet within just a few minutes walk of all amenities. The River Stour runs directly behind the property which enjoys delightful elevated views across the fields between Cookley and Caunsall, whilst the extensive gardens have a river frontage of around 120 yards.

For any keen angler, the setting is a dream. The River Stour is a thriving haven for wildlife, with trout and many other species of coarse fish known to live here, as well as otters.

The generous plot also means there is no immediate next door neighbour to the right, creating a great sense of space around the property.

Originally two cottages, the property was successsfully converted into a single property many years ago, and offers surprisingly spacious and well proportioned accommodation extending to 1840 sq ft.

The entrance porch gives way to a cosy living room with feature fireplace and log burner, whilst there is a further separate sitting room also with log burner.

The splendid dining room measures over 22' in length, perfect for dinner parties.

The kitchen diner is of similarly generous proportions, with a range of sage green wall & base cabinets complemented by wooden work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and a white ceramic Belfast sink.

Cabinets include two full height wine racks, whilst a Leisure Chefmaster dual-fuel range cooker with 5-ring gas hob, plate warmer and electric oven is also included in the sale.

There is also a useful guest cloakroom with wc & hand basin, whilst the well proportioned separate utility room provides a range of fitted cabinets, work surfaces with sink and space for the usual laundry appliances.

In addition there is a cellar with the benefit of a central heating radiator and an exterior window letting in plenty of natural daylight, all providing scope for a potential future basement conversion if needed.

To the first floor there are four double bedrooms, the larger two of which feature a good range of fitted wardrobes. The other two bedrooms are interconnecting but could easily be separated if required.

The bathroom is well appointed with wood-effect flooring, wall panelling to half height and suite comprising clawfoot bathtub, cubicle with mixer rainfall shower, pedestal hand basin and wc.

Outside, to the front of the house is driveway parking and a sizeable detached studio of concrete sectional construction, measuring 22'6" x 8'6" with upvc double glazed entrance door, which could potentially be used as a gym, hobbies room or home office.

To the rear of the house directly accessible from the kitchen is a newly fitted metal balcony & balustrading, looking down to the river. There is also a pleasant covered outdoor kitchen/ seating area here, with a path leading down to the gardens and riverside.

The gardens feature numerous areas of interest, including a substantial octagonal timber gazebo, two sandstone caves, storage sheds, two brick outbuildings, greenhouse and a 15' x 7' summerhouse next to the river, extensive lawns interspersed with various established shrubs and trees, as well as a wildlife pond.

Brynstour offers a truly unique lifestyle opportunity, with just a five minutes walk to the excellent range of amenties found in the village of Cookley.
