BROOKLANDS FARM COTTAGE

Brooklands Farm Cottage is a beautiful family home that is situated in a quite enclave on the rural fringes of Biggleswade. “The house was part of an old farm property, but in the years before we purchased it, it had been altered from its original state a number of times,” says the owner. “For a time it lay derelict before being split into four separate properties and renovated in the 80’s. We purchased the house in 1997, by which time it was again in need of a full renovation. I think what really attracted us was the fact that it was a large house with lots of potential and within the grounds there were various outbuildings that could accommodate a workshop, an office and lots of storage.”

Seller Insight “In terms of the renovation, we did it room by room, gradually working our way through the entire house. We also extended

the front of the property, which gave us a lovely big dining room and a reading room. It’s now a really beautiful family home with light and generously proportioned rooms that have been given a traditional look and feel, very in keeping with the style of the property as a whole.”

“The large garden is wonderfully secluded and extremely safe and secure for children,” says the owner. “It incorporates large patios to both the front and back of the house, a large area of lawn with fruit trees dotted here and there, as well as a large vegetable plot. During the summer in particular our days are spent outside either relaxing or entertaining friends and family; it’s the ideal family home in that sense.”

“Our favourite part of the house is probably the huge living room,” says the owner. “It’s spacious enough to accommodate a good number of people, so a great room for entertaining, but with the log burner roaring away it has a really cosy atmosphere.”

“We have everything we could possibly want or need close at hand and the transport links are very good,” says the owner, “but our immediate surroundings are really quite stunning. The property is surrounded by fields so the views are fantastic and ever changing.”

A mezzanine level built,” says the owner. “I currently use it as a workshop, but with the correct planning consents in place it’s a building that, in my mind, has great potential to be developed.”

“The location is both beautiful and convenient,” says the owner, “but it will be the house itself that I’ll miss the most. There’s just something about it that makes it a real pleasure to come back to at the end of the day.”
