Owners’ Comments
“Our cottage is in such a lovely location, beautifully tranquil with the rich sound of bird song. There are great walks in the forest and local footpaths yet the excellent commuter links mean we can be in Bournemouth, Southampton or Salisbury with ease.”
Introduction
Originally built as a thatched home and lovingly rebuilt circa 1984, 2 The Brambles has been the subject of an extensive yet sensitive program of improvement by our client to include a ‘shaker’ style kitchen, a recently fitted vintage style four piece bathroom and period features including an exposed brick fireplace with wood burning stove. Of particular delight is the impressive ‘Orangery’ which boasts a ceiling lantern and bi-fold doors opening onto the decking. Although quaint, the accommodation is generous, comprising two well sized bedrooms and two spacious reception rooms whilst the gardens are wonderfully secluded and peaceful with a detached single garage and driveway to the rear. The village of Redlynch is well provided for in amenities including a well regarded primary school, post office, public house and active village hall.
