About this property

  • Brook House is a very pretty stone and brick rendered detached property with slate roof, surrounded by exquisite carefully planted gardens and situated within a conservation area. The house occupies a lovely private location towards the edge of the village. Although it has early origins dating back to the 17th Century it is not listed and has a more recent extension with the addition of the utility room and bedroom four.

    There are two entrances into the house from the drive either into the dining room or sitting room. A good-sized kitchen/breakfast room is situated towards the rear of the property with views and back door access through to the vegetable garden. The kitchen is furnished with a number of built in cupboards and has a built in dishwasher, fridge and an eight-ring gas (bottled) hob with electric oven. There is direct access into the utility room with sink and space for washing machine and on through to the downstairs cloakroom and wc.

    The sitting room has a Jotul wood stove and access to the rear staircase. This room could be used as a playroom, snug, music room or home office.

    The dining room has a stone fireplace with the bread oven still in place. Dual aspect windows with window seat allows plenty of natural light into the room. Underfloor heating runs through the dining room and drawing room. The drawing room has double glass doors which lead out on to the south facing garden terrace. There is an open fireplace and dual aspect windows to the east and west sides of the property.

    Upstairs are five double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Bedroom one is exceptionally spacious with triple aspect windows and high ceilings. Views from the bedrooms are all delightful over the gardens and fields behind.

    Outside is a double garage providing plenty of room for undercover parking or could be used as a workshop. The gardens have been beautifully planted with an abundant number of rose bushes and mature trees. There are raised vegetable beds to the east side of the house with a greenhouse and plenty of flat lawn to the front of the house for children to play and run around.

I love the beautiful wrap around garden which gives it a lovely country feel, in this secluded location. A real gem!
