DESCRIPTION
Brook House offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented traditional country home of immense charm and character, combined with an air of sophisticated living. Its location is to be admired for its views and ease of access to the neighbouring village.
The house itself has been tastefully extended to provide versatile annexe accommodation, which could easily be used as additional accommodation for a larger family. The house offers many traditional features including exposed beams, inglenook and cast iron fireplaces. On entering the property there is an immediate awareness of a welcoming atmosphere. Points worthy of note include two traditional reception rooms, one with an inglenook fireplace, in addition there is a generous size garden room which takes advantage of the wonderful views to the West. The kitchen / breakfast is comprehensively equipped with a country style range of fittings and a selection of appliances. Adjacent lies a particularly useful utility / boot room. The principal bedroom is served by an internal staircase and enjoys a larger than average ensuite bathroom. The two remaining bedrooms are then found off an alternative landing and served by a combined bath / shower room.
The annexe is immediately accessed off the sitting room and enjoys its own hallway with kitchen, lounge / diner, bedroom and Jack and Jill shower room. This accommodation can very easily be utilised as a single family home with the benefit of two additional reception rooms - one being utilised as a home office.
Outside, there is a lovely sweeping driveway linking to a double garage with automatic entrance door. The gardens are a wonderful sight, particularly during the Spring and Summer months having been developed and landscaped with a keen gardener in mind. There is a host of specimen plants and shrubs, some of which are quite special.
