3 bed detached house for sale

Millbrook Green, Aylburton GL15

Step Inside

Built in 2003 to an individual, one-off design, this charming home takes its name, Kingfisher Cottage, from the visits of a kingfisher that became a regular companion during its construction and beyond. Approached via an idyllic bridge over Stockwell Brook, it makes a wonderfully romantic first impression.

This sense of individuality continues inside, where a spacious entrance hall features colourful glazing, thoughtfully positioned to draw in natural light while forming an eye-catching focal point. The layout flows seamlessly into a bespoke kitchen at the heart of the home, centred around an oil-fired Aga, with an additional integral oven and hob. A double Belfast sink sits beneath the window, while a breakfast bar provides a natural divide to a relaxed family area, with a partially open-plan dining space beyond.

The main sitting room is particularly impressive, with a substantial fireplace creating a superb focal point, complete with a wood-burning stove that provides a cosy atmosphere during the colder months. Dual-aspect windows allow for an abundance of natural light, further enhancing the feeling of space.

A second entrance, used daily by the current owners, leads directly into a practical boot room and utility, with access out to the rear garden and an internal door into the garage. A staircase from the garage rises to a highly versatile room above, ideal as a home office, hobby room, playroom or occasional guest space, with feature glazed walls ensuring a light and airy feel.

An oak staircase from the main entrance hall, leads to a mezzanine landing with space for a chandelier, giving access to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from ample fitted wardrobe space and a well-appointed en-suite, while the remaining two bedrooms also feature fitted wardrobes and are served by the family bathroom.

The property is very well proportioned, with each room offering a pleasing sense of space.

Step Outside

Outside, the property is approached via an idyllic bridge over Stockwell Brook, leading to an off-road parking area with space for several vehicles. We are told the brook attracts an abundance of wildlife.

Adjacent to the parking area is the garage, which is currently unsuitable for a car due to an internal staircase installed by the previous owners to access the first-floor office. The space remains generous, however, offering ample storage and potential for a workshop.

The garden wraps around the rear of the property and features a circular al fresco dining area, an additional patio for relaxing, a small lawn, and a further seating area at the front beside the apple and cherry trees. The walled garden provides a sense of privacy from neighbouring properties, creating a fantastic low maintenance enclosed outdoor space.

Agents Note:

There is an agreement in place for the shared maintenance costs between the three properties that use the bridge and main driveway.
