Brookside, Chillington

Step inside this delightful period cottage and into the cosy yet light-filled sitting room, where a wood-burning stove creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The versatile dining room, currently used as a home office, is a generous space featuring characterful details, including a feature fireplace. The well-fitted kitchen is bright and airy, providing a practical and stylish space for cooking with access to the rear garden. A useful cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, you'll find two double bedrooms, each with its own unique charm. One features a shower room and an exposed stone fireplace, while the other boasts a beautiful hand-crafted built-in wardrobe. A well-proportioned bathroom serves both rooms.

One of the cottage’s most charming features is the gentle sound of the nearby brook, offering a peaceful and restful ambiance, perfect for drifting off to sleep.

Outside you will find an enclosed rear garden with outbuilding. To the front, there is driveway parking and further storage space to the side of the cottage.

Flood Risk Context

The property is situated in an area that the Environment Agency identifies as having a long-term flood risk. The original flood modelling was carried out when the brook running through the area was an open ditch across a meadow, prior to the construction of Brooklea. At that time, surface water runoff may have been less controlled.

Since then, several significant mitigation measures have been implemented:

The brook has been culverted and is currently undergoing further improvements upstream
- The development of Brooklea introduced a Sustainable Drainage System (SUDS), which manages surface water and controls discharge rates
- The local council has upgraded drainage infrastructure in recent years, enlarging drain entry points and pipes in the road opposite the cottages to prevent surface water build-up
- Additionally, residents in the village are proactive in keeping the drains clear of debris
The current EA data may not highlight or reflect these improvements. The current owners have lived at the property for four years and report that, even during periods of very heavy rainfall, there have been no issues with flooding.
