Beautiful country house with outstanding rural views
Brackendale House was built in 2018 to an extremely high standard. The well planned accommodation provides excellent family spaces which are well thought out and flexible. The layout provides private and communal areas which take full advantage of the beautiful panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.
The double aspect drawing room has an open fireplace and double doors to the spacious reception hall. The study is off the hall with a window overlooking the front garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is a fabulous open plan space with sliding doors opening to the garden terrace with outstanding views. The kitchen is well equipped with hand painted wall and floor units arranged around a central island. Built-in appliances include and Mercury range cooker, dishwasher, drinks fridge and fridge/freezer. There is a separate supplementary kitchen for food preparation and further storage. Steps lead down to the family/dining room, with built-in display and storage units and two sets of sliding doors with access to the garden terrace and with beautiful panoramic views.
To the first floor there are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite has a large en suite bathroom, dressing room and additional built-in wardrobes. A large plate glass window provides an uninterrupted view. The guest bedroom has an en suite bathroom and a range of built-in cupboards and access to eaves storage. There is a further first floor bedroom and family shower room. To the second floor there are two further bedrooms, one with an en suite shower.
A side entrance to the main house gives additional access to a rear hall with the utility room to one side and a staircase to the lower ground floor. There you will find a well equipped media room, plant room and wine store. Stairs from the rear hall also lead to a separate bedroom over the garage with a dormer window and en suite shower room. The double garage and store has an electrically operated door and further access from the rear hall.
Outside
The property is accessed from the lane via a gated, electrically operated entry system opening to a large gravel parking area to the front of the house and garage. The front wall and façade of the house feature brick and flint detailing in keeping with the local tradition.
To the rear of the property and accessed from the kitchen and family room is an expansive terrace which provides the ideal space for outdoor entertaining and to enjoy the stunning surroundings. Steps lead down to beautifully landscaped gardens incorporating areas for a play terrace, seating and access, via gravel pathways, to the formal lawn, surrounded by flower beds and punctuated with specimen trees and topiary.
The small paddock has the base for a field shelter in place and the large paddock has mown lawn pathways to walk through and enjoy the wild flower meadow. In all a beautiful backdrop for this perfect setting and stunning country house.

I love this stretch of countryside, full of bridleways, footpaths and offering lovely vistas over open fields. The house is designed to take full advantage of this unique location.
