Location
Pretty stone built house with plenty of character on the edge of this sought after village.
Brookhampton Farmhouse is detached, not listed and has a very pretty stone facade with a climbing rose. This charming edge of village house has spacious, well arranged accommodation over two floors and sits well in the centre of this mature plot. On the ground floor the rooms flow from a spacious reception hall with flagstone floor. From here a rear hall leads to the light spacious kitchen and range cooker. Double doors from here open into the garden room with lovely views to the rear of the property. Also from the kitchen is access to an elegant dining room with fireplace and window seat.
The drawing room is of particular note, with its vaulted ceiling, filled with light with dual aspect and French doors which open onto the terrace and the fireplace with stone surround is a focal point. At the far end of this room steps lead up to a small hallway with access to the garage and stairs leading up to a particular spacious room, currently in use as a home office, but could equally be used for other purposes. On the first floor are four double bedrooms each with excellent storage. The principal bedroom is to the rear of the property with delightful views across the garden, an en suite bathroom and plenty of storage. In addition there is a further en suite shower room and a separate family bathroom.
Outside
The house is situated in the centre of its plot with charming mature gardens to the front and rear. A gravelled driveway sweeps down to the front of the house from a track, providing parking for several cars. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with a series of clipped box hedges and stone walls providing form and structure. To the rear of the house are two sheltered terraced areas. There are numerous mature trees such as Silver Birch, Acer, Flowering Chestnut, Walnut, Oak and various fruit trees such as Plum, Quince, Apple and Crab Apple. Borders are well stocked with a plethora of plants including Clematis, Campanula, Camassia and Agapanthus along with shrubs such as Cornus, Stachyurus and Osmanthus Delavayi that ensure a profusion throughout the year. Beyond a stone wall and a vegetable patch with raised beds, lies a pretty stone built outbuilding that, whilst ideal as a garden store, could perhaps be converted into something more substantial. A summerhouse provides a quiet spot from which to enjoy the peace and serenity of this wonderful property and setting. In all the garden extends to about 1 acre.
Agents Note
We are advised that there was ingress of water in 2023 owing to flooding from the brook in the garden. Alleviation works have subsequently been commissioned. Further details available through the agent.
