With its thick Cotswold – stone walls and traditional tiled
roof the overriding impression of Brockhill is one of unusual
quality with natural materials such as oak and stone abounding.
This detached house sits on dual level site so the accommodation
has been cleverly arranged over two main and two split floor
levels with oak stairs connecting the floors in a semicircular
stairwell. This unique arrangement creates an environment that is
practical and most appealing. This can be appreciated on the

The 20ft dining room and the large bespoke kitchen of mellowed
maple, with its granite work surfaces and Gaggenau and Neff built
– in appliances, are on the same level as the conservatory,
garden and flagstoned terrace.
A few steps lead up from the dining room to the elevated drawing
room with its log-fire. The master bedroom with its en-suite
bathroom are also to be found on this first floor level with a
guest suite covering the upper first floor - the floor plans on
the web site show these arrangements as well as providing the room
dimensions of this generously proportioned house.
The entrance drive to the property is through a five bar field
gate into a large gravelled forecourt, bounded by dry stone walls
and silver birches and an attractive herbaceous bank. There is a
large double garage and workshop with electrically operated doors.
To the rear of the house wide stone steps rise to the terrace
outside the conservatory from which there are views over the
sweeping lawns, interspersed with apple, pear and plum trees,
towards the recently resurfaced tennis court. Behind a well –
stocked herbaceous border lies a productive vegetable and soft
fruit garden.
Lying only four miles south of Cirencester and close to the
Cotswold Water Park, Somerford Keynes is a very popular village
with its typical Cotswold pub, the Bakers Arms, and its pretty
Saxon church. It is ideally located for access to all the nearby
centres such as Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham and Swindon as well as
the main line station at Kemble.
