Description

Brook House is a handsome three storey Georgian village house with attractive private, part walled, gardens. Thought to have been built during the 1780's as a farmhouse, the house became a village inn for a period during the 19th century, before becoming the comfortable family home it is today.

Beamed ceilings, feature fireplaces, wide polished oak and tiled floors and Georgian sash windows blend with modern amenities and centrally heated accommodation. A traditional cottage style kitchen has a gas fired AGA cooking range and a glazed door to the garden opens from the breakfast room. Both the drawing room with its wide inglenook fireplace and conveniently located dining room lead off the hallway from where there is also a door opening to the cellar.

The staircase leads up to the first and second landings off which are the highly individual and attractive bedrooms served by a family bathroom and two shower rooms, one of which is en suite.
