A charming and characterful house of 16th century origin.
The ground floor is entered via an attractive reception hall, from which four beautifully proportioned reception rooms radiate, including a drawing room, dining room and sitting room – each rich in original character and enhanced by period fireplaces. The kitchen combines traditional charm with modern practicality and benefits from plenty of storage and an AGA. A delightful breakfast room adjoins, enjoying far-reaching views across the gardens. The first floor offers well-balanced family accommodation, comprising a principal bedroom suite alongside three further double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and family bathroom.
HISTORY
Built in the early 1600’s Brickhouse Farm was later comprehensively refaced in elegant red brick in 1670. The principal elevation presents a handsome five-window range of double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, set within flush casements. The ground floor retains distinctive segmental-headed window openings dating from the 17th-century remodelling, while a raised brick band provides an attractive architectural division between storeys. The property is completed by a slate roof, gracefully hipped at both the east and west gable ends, enhancing its balanced and timeless appearance.
GARDENS & LAND
Outside,the grounds at Brickhouse Farm are as compelling as the house itself. A sweeping gravel driveway approaches a turning circle to the front, where the house sits elegantly amid landscaped lawns and mature woodland. To the south, beautifully arranged gardens surround a swimming pool and expansive terrace, ideal for entertaining. To the west, paddocks are accessed via a traditional five-bar gate, accompanied by a stable block and a range of useful outbuildings. The property benefits from a high degree of privacy, created by its established and thoughtfully planted surroundings.

This is a truly special property set within circa 22 acres of its own land. I love the location, the views and the unique sense of seclusion.
