Brillings Cottage is an individual detached house in a lovely position at sought after Chalford Hill. This quiet, elevated location is private and sunny, and allows for a superb outlook over the Golden Valley. The property was built in 1966 on land previously belonging the The Corderries estate for the headmaster of Wycliffe College. It is built using traditional methods under a pitched roof, and is faced in natural Bath stone. The house has had just three owners since then, and was extended during the 1980's. It would now benefit from some improvement, but offers a prospective buyer the chance to create a statement family home to their own standard. The accommodation is arranged over two floors. An entrance hall, panelled library area, utility room, shower room, 14’ sitting room with fireplace, connecting garden room, 16’ kitchen and superb 25’ drawing room are on the ground floor. The latter has a fireplace and both bi fold and tri fold doors that open onto the front terrace, hot tub and the glorious view. A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a landing, 14’ principal bedroom with en suite shower room, family bathroom and three further bedrooms on this level. There is an excellent view out over the garden into the valley from the windows at the front of the house, and the property is available with no onward chain. A unique opportunity, and a must for your viewing list.
The property is set at the end of long gravelled drive measuring some 260'. This is lined with trees, hedging and shrubs then opens out by the house into a gravelled area with space to park several vehicles. There is a superb detached outbuilding that comprises a 31’ triple garage, 19’ workshop, 21’ office, wine store and, on the lower floor, a 21' gym/cinema room. This space is rather special, and is large enough to be converted into an annexe to provide further accommodation subject to planning permission. The total plot size at Brillings Cottage is 0.49 acres, and this includes a lovely garden area. A few steps lead down to the front door, and a paved terrace that stretches from this area around the whole of the front of the property. Doors from the drawing room open onto this space connecting the inside with the outside. This area is edged with planted borders and extends to the side of the property. Steps lead down past a hot tub to the lower lawn. This large area is well kept and edged with planting and matures trees. The plot slopes away at the bottom with a gated pedestrian access out onto the lane below.
