About this property

  • Eastbrook House is one of Wickham Square's landmark properties. Situated on The Square, the property really does offer a fabulous and flexible living environment. The classic period architecture gives the property great stature and the period features are evident throughout the property, including sash windows in many rooms, large open fireplaces and exposed timbers in some rooms. There is excellent reception space with a good sized dining hall which has a large open fireplace with wood burning stove and is a fabulous room for entertaining. A door opens to the principal sitting room where there is a corner open fireplace and attractive aspect out over The Square. From the reception hall a passageway with a flagstone floor leads to the family room which has an open fireplace and French windows with shutters to the garden. A separate study provides a perfect space for working from home. The farmhouse style kitchen/ breakfast room has a range of wall and floor mounted cupboards incorporating
    cupboard and drawer sections, a gas Aga set into the
    chimney recess completes the farmhouse feel. A sliding door
    opens to the walk-in pantry with matching fitted cupboards, built-in shelving and space for a tall fridge/freezer. There is a large utility/boot room which is a great addition to the property and makes for a practical set up and includes a downstairs cloakroom with fitted cupboards and high WC and door to
    the garden. The cellar is accessed from the passageway
    via a wooden door and steps down to two rooms with a brick floor.

    There are four good sized bedrooms on the first floor and an observation room with views over The Square. The main bedroom has a range of built-in wardrobes and a recently updated en suite bathroom with underfloor heating which is a great addition and links through to the dressing room. The second bedroom has a range of built-in wardrobes and cupboards. The third and fourth bedrooms benefit from fireplaces, wooden paneling and period sash windows with seats and shutters. There are two family bathrooms, both incorporating a roll top bath with claw feet, pedestal wash hand basin and low level WCs. One with a separate shower cubicle. From the observation room there is an exposed wooden staircase leading to the second floor where there are two rooms in the eves, one used as a fifth bedroom the other could be used as a games room/home office/further bedroom.

    OUTSIDE
    The rear garden is accessed via a pair of automated wooden double gates which open onto a gravelled drive which leads along the side of the house and an area of lawn to the garage, where there is space for the parking of numerous vehicles. Immediately to the rear of the house there is a seating area which has a west aspect with pergola, providing an excellent spot for outside entertaining. To the rear of the drive are a series of further walled gardens, the first of which has a large terrace area offering a great space for relaxing and outdoor entertaining with a focal point of a central pond surrounded by planted box hedges and flower beds. An archway in the hedge provides access to the second area of garden which is laid to lawn with a further hedge and archway to the final area of garden which again is laid to lawn and incorporates a gar den shed. These two further sections are ideal for recreation. The gardens are well established and provide a fabulous backdrop to this special home.
