Accomodation
Corbrook Grange is a magnificent completely remodelled country house with extensive family sized accommodation laid out over two floors. This superb house is constructed of brick with rendered elevations, large double glazed picture windows, all surmounted by a tiled roof. The house is approached through electrically operated gates over a sweeping gravelled drive.

The accommodation has been finished with flare and is ideal for a large family / multi generational living or entertaining on a grand scale with five reception rooms. The beautiful main house has been redeveloped into a hugely impressive and particularly well-lit family home. There are various reception rooms, a vast kitchen opening to a breakfast room, seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, including a lovely ground floor annexe reminiscent of a bespoke hotel suite.
The leisure suite enjoys superb views over the grounds and countryside beyond and houses a large heated swimming pool, relaxation area, steam room and shower.
Impressive space, uncompromising quality, unquestionable elegance and exceptional rural aspects all come together in this most special package.

The house is stunning, but that is just one part of Corbrook Grange. The outside space and arrangement is of equal importance. Externally there is a large gravelled car parking area with a turning circle and a double garage with electric up & over door. The gardens are extensively lawned with herbaceous borders, shrubberies, orchard, specimen trees, two resin patios and paths, large west facing gravelled garden with seating area. There is a large mown paddock of pasture to the South with mature trees, hedgerows and fence boundaries. The land continues to the North and extends down to an area of woodland and a brook. The house, gardens and land extend in all to about 7.5 acres, making this the perfect setting for those of an equestrian interest or simply those who value privacy, maturity and their own sense of space.
