Two-bedroom Cotswold retreat in Brockhampton Park, a restored stately home
Lifestyle
For those of you looking for something special look no further than this hidden gem full of charm and character. A superb two-bedroom apartment, part of the stately manor Brockhampton Park is just 15 minutes from the pretty Regency spa town of Cheltenham making it an ideal retreat or permanent residence.
Asking price: £275,000
The property is one of twenty apartments created from one of the Cotswolds prettiest Grade II listed former country mansions.
Over the centuries Brockhampton Park has been the private home to several families, notably Mr Rhodes who built the summer house, lake and bridge.
The impressive communal hallways illustrate the scale and grandeur of the stately home, whilst eight acres of beautiful communal gardens wrap around the property.
Within the grounds there is a 19th Century two-storey summer house, walled orchard, kitchen garden and the magnificent Grade I listed bridge over the private lake, which is fed by the River Coln. The owners have fishing rights on the lake so you may be lucky enough to catch a trout or grayling!
The apartment sits on the first floor, off the impressive communal hallway. It has been sympathetically refurbished with internal décor in keeping with the character of the property.
There is an abundance of period features including very large mullion and chapel windows, original restored maple floors, period fire place, period coving and window shutters in the bedrooms.
Each room within the apartment offers easterly views over the gardens and private lake, from which spectacular sunrises can be enjoyed each morning.
The 19' drawing room has an open fire place and ample room for sitting and dining. The country style kitchen has solid walnut work tops and an abundance of cupboards and shelving, the bathroom has a large bath with shower over and there are two double bedrooms.
The Cotswold village of Brockhampton is a peaceful and unspoiled village and is located just off the A436. The spa town of Cheltenham is approximately a 15-minute drive.
Cheltenham's train station can be found approximately six miles away, offering access to Birmingham and a number of other UK rail destinations.
Carrying out viewings at Brockhampton Park is an absolute pleasure and I'd be delighted to introduce you to this wonderful apartment.
