About This Home

As of October 2025

Introducing Sandy Brook Cottage. Perched gently near the banks of the meandering Sandy Brook, this c.1800 home exudes quiet charm and understated elegance. Set on over 3 picturesque acres in the hidden gem of Colebrook. It is a true country escape. One that offers privacy, character, and an effortless connection to nature. Winding stone walls trace the contours of the rolling landscape, creating a setting that feels both cultivated and wild. The main residence is joined by a 3 car garage with an in-law suite above, along with a classic barn, a woodshed, and even an original icehouse, evoking a sense of New England's storied past. Inside welcomes you with warmth and authenticity. The dining room and center hall staircase greet you upon entry, setting the tone for a home rich in detail. To the right, a cozy living room is anchored by the original river rock fireplace. An enchanting nod to the home's heritage. Beyond that, a sunroom with walls of glass and a wood-burning stove draws in the natural beauty just outside, creating a serene space for reading, gathering, or simply watching the seasons shift. Two flexible rooms on the main level, ideal as a home office or den, includes an attached half bath, while the eat-in kitchen offers the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee to the sound of the brook just beyond the window.
