The Street, Farmborough, Bath

Brochure

Brooklyn Cottage is a delightful Grade II Listed semi detached period cottage believed to date from the 17th Century with elevations of attractive natural stone beneath a clay tiled roof. The property offers characterful accommodation of good proportions with a very attractive double fronted facade in a lovely position on The Street in the heart of Farmborough village within a few minutes level walking distance of the Primary School and away from main road traffic.
On the ground floor the property is approached through an entrance lobby to an open plan living and dining room with a heavily beamed ceiling and a fireplace at either end of the room - one of which is an impressive original inglenook fireplace with a timber bressumer beam. There is a door leading to the original staircase which rises to the first floor and a connecting door to the kitchen/breakfast room which is of good size, furnished with a range of traditionally styled units, with a small utility room which gives access to a cloakroom/wc.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms; one of which has an ensuite shower room with the others served by a family bathroom. On the second floor lies a 25ft long attic room, part of a very long standing conversion with exposed roof timbers and a cloakroom with wc, which has been used as a bedroom and study.
Externally to the front of the cottage is a pretty lawned garden with a paved terrace giving access to a covered side area which leads to the large rear garden. With an L shaped configuration, the garden is mature laid predominately to lawn with numerous trees and shrubs and is a very pleasant feature of the property. In total the plot extends to over 0.25 acres. In addition, there is a detached corrugated garage accessed from The Street to the front of the adjoining property, Sunnybrook House.
