Outside, the gardens come to around four acres, and are well-established as part of the National Gardens Scheme. Landscaping links lawns and terracing, while rambling roses and over fifty varieties of clematis scramble over stone walls, providing fragrance and colour; indeed, there is colour throughout the year in all seasons thanks to careful planting. A tennis court will require some refurbishment.
Brook Cottage is located in Alkerton, a popular North Oxfordshire hamlet close to the Warwickshire border on the edge of the Cotswolds. The neighbouring village of Shenington has a pub, primary school and a 16th century parish church. Banbury is six miles.
The guide price is £1.1m. For further information please contact Savills on 01295 228 000 or visit the house on their website.
