Brook Cottage is an attractive detached family home, quietly positioned on the outskirts of Frome and surrounded by open countryside. Set within a generous plot of approximately 0.6 acres, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy and a peaceful setting. The house presents a charming white-rendered façade and is well balanced throughout, offering flexible and well-proportioned accommodation ideally suited to family living.
You enter the property via a spacious garden room, a versatile and light-filled space with triple aspect windows overlooking the surrounding grounds. This room provides an excellent reception area and links seamlessly to the main living accommodation. Double doors lead through to the formal dining room, a characterful space featuring painted beams and a stone surround fireplace. Two large windows offer pleasant views across the garden, and there is ample room for a substantial dining table and chairs. Built-in shelving within one of the alcoves adds both practicality and charm.
From here, a door opens into the sitting room. This is a generous and comfortable space, again enjoying triple aspect windows which allow for plenty of natural light. A log burning stove forms a central focal point, while exposed ceiling beams and wooden flooring enhance the cottage feel. There is ample space for a full suite of seating, making it well suited to both everyday living and entertaining. An open oak and glass staircase rises from the sitting room to the first floor, creating a sense of space and flow. Beneath the stairs, a thoughtful reading nook and built-in shelving have been created, while deep window recesses throughout the room provide useful display areas.
A short inner corridor leads to the rear of the property, passing a ground floor cloakroom and utility area, and into the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, complemented by generous worktop space and eye-level ovens. There is space for informal dining, and double doors open directly onto the garden, connecting the inside with the outside. To the rear, the kitchen flows into a conservatory, which enjoys views across the surrounding fields and provides a further seating area.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms, comprising three well-proportioned doubles and a comfortable single room. All enjoy a pleasant outlook over the surrounding countryside and gardens. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room.
The grounds are a particular feature of the property. Extending to approximately 0.6 acres, the gardens wrap around the house and offer a variety of spaces to enjoy. To the front, the driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and divides the garden into two distinct areas, with decorative planting, a well stocked fish pond, and stepping stone pathway creating visual interest. There are a variety of mature shrubs and established trees throughout.
To the rear, the garden continues with a more productive feel, including a greenhouse, vegetable beds, fruit cages and wood sheds. The current owners also keep chickens, highlighting the suitability of the property for those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle. A brook runs along the side and rear property line.
A detached double garage sits to one side of the plot, providing additional storage in the workshop behind, all with electrical supply.
Brook Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a detached home in a peaceful rural setting, whilst remaining within easy reach of the amenities of Frome. The surrounding countryside provides a wealth of walking opportunities directly from the doorstep, making this an ideal home for those seeking a quieter pace of life.
