Beautiful Cottage by River Itchen | Cottage in Brambridge
4 Bedroom Cottage in Otterbourne, Brambridge
Lock Keeper's Cottage has a splendid setting with the River Itchen on its doorstep. It was originally home for the keepers who managed the river lock. The cottage has been renovated to a high standard and is now a comfortable and spacious family home. It's perfect for unwinding, rebalancing and recharging. There is a tennis court on site. There are plenty of walks and things to do in the area. The cottage is about 10 mins away from the centre of Winchester and 15 minutes to Southampton.
The space
Lock Keeper's Cottage is in the grounds of Qing Ya Xi (in Mandarin meaning tranquil, elegant river), the home of Justin and Bing with our two teenage daughters, three dogs and two cats. There are over 7 acres land shared between the cottage and Qing Ya Xi. So there is plenty outside space by the cottage. The two homes are 100 yards away from each other and the cottage is naturally separated from the main house area by a row of 20 meters tall red cedar and sycamore trees. Therefore the guests will have their privacy. The cottage has separate parking area.
The cottage is 2,230 Sq ft. All rooms are airy with natural light. On the ground floor, there is a well equipped kitchen, a large dining area, next to it is a living area under the orangery. The sitting room has its original beams and an open fire. There is one bedroom with ensuite bathroom on the ground floor over looking the Navigation of the River Itchen. Underfloor heating is installed through out the ground floor. So it's lovely warm and cosy in Winter time.
There are 3 bedrooms on the first floor. The master bedroom is massive with ensuite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. The second bedroom has a separate sitting area and a small walk-in wardrobe. Our daughters especially love the window seats for reading while enjoying the river view. The third bedroom has a small double bed in it. The second and third bedrooms share the family bathroom with a bath tub in it.
Guest access
Because Lock Keepers Cottage is in the ground of Qing Ya Xi. The guests will come through the same gate. The Cottage is 150 yards straight ahead. You'll find parking just beyond the cottage on the right. The cottage is not fenced off from the wider grounds to the main house or the river. So please use your common sense in defining boundaries. In broad terms please avoid using the main lawns immediately adjacent to the main house. The guests can access the surrounding area of the cottage. There is an artificial grass tennis court in the garden close to the main house. The guests are more than welcome to use it, when it's not occupied. Please check with us if you would like to use it.
