A beautiful Grade II listed house with a studio and carport
Brookvale is a stunning Grade II listed house, built in 1742 with flint and brick banding and a red clay tiled roof, located in the heart of the village. Over the years, the property has undergone several extensions, with the current owners adding a garden room extension and a superb new kitchen.
The entrance hall, located at the rear of the house, provides access to the principal rooms and the guest WC. A brick and stone staircase leads to the first floor. The impressive garden room, featuring a built-in dresser, offers dual-aspect views and French doors with sidelights opening onto the terrace and garden. The attractive sitting room showcases an exposed beamed ceiling, a brick fireplace with a log burner, and a stone hearth. Dual-aspect windows, including one with a window seat, and a garden door complete the room's charm. The dining room shares the same beamed ceiling and features two arched apertures that open into the sitting room.
The beautifully appointed kitchen, recently installed, includes a combination of wall and floor-mounted cupboards with quartz surfaces. The kitchen also features shelving, a wine rack, and high-end NEFF cooking appliances, including an oven, combination oven, warming drawer, and induction hob. Additionally, there is an integrated fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, and a larder cupboard.
Upstairs, the landing features a laundry cupboard that also houses the unvented hot water cylinder. It leads to the spacious principal bedroom, which includes built-in wardrobes and exposed beamed ceilings. The en suite bathroom is well-appointed with a bath, separate enclosed shower, sink, and WC. There are additional bedrooms on this floor, all supported by a family bathroom that includes a bath with shower, sink, and WC.
Outside
The delightful garden is enclosed by a brick and rendered wall, with electric gates leading to a gravel driveway. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by herbaceous borders, an ornamental pond, and a stone path connecting the house to the outbuildings.
The separate studio is a notable feature, offering a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and Velux windows. The studio has a tiled floor with underfloor heating and is complemented by a shower room, making it ideal for use as a home office or guest accommodation.
The carport can accommodate two cars and is accompanied by a workshop and a storage room, offering additional practical space for tools, equipment, or extra storage.
