    About this property

    • Smallbrook Farm is an enchanting Grade II listed property dating back to the early 15th century, occupying a wonderful position down a pretty country lane. The property is excellently presented, with a wealth of character features and includes a fabulous extension which takes full advantage of the beautiful garden view. All of the rooms are of good proportions and the layout works very well for entertaining and modern living.

      The property begins with a pretty open gabled porch giving way to a welcoming entrance hall, leading to a pleasant sitting room with a timber floor and open brick fireplace. The extension to the property provides a fabulous space for the family kitchen, created out of an exposed oak frame with pitched and glazed lantern roof with wide bi fold glazed doors on the garden side. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and a stylish fitted kitchen with marble flooring, designed around an island with breakfast bar seating. The kitchen features granite worktops and fitted appliances including fridge, freezer, dishwasher and wine store and there is a range oven. In addition to the principal living rooms, there is a comfortable snug/tv den with a lovely Inglenook fireplace, and separate study. A utility room and guest WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

      Within the grounds there is a detached double garage with studio, kitchen and shower room approached separately from the side. There is also a secondary outbuilding (opposite the back door from the kitchen) which is another useful studio with separate shower room.

      The gardens and grounds are glorious having been landscaped with an elevated terrace and a mixture of formal garden, wild and woodland areas. The beautiful terrace with York stone paving is accessible directly from the family kitchen which is perfect for alfresco dining and relaxing. A rolling lawn is surrounded by an attractive array of established specimen trees and rhododendrons all underplanted with seasonal flowering bulbs. The wild meadow and woodland areas lead down to a scenic brook. Across the country lane there is a further area of private garden.
