Accessible from the reception/dining room, an inner hall offers further useful storage. It gives access to an L-shaped rear aspect principal bedroom with a large sash window with bespoke window seating, one further double bedroom with fitted storage and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower enclosure.

Brough Hall and its park are accessed through ornate twin stone pillars and a long sweeping driveway leading through the communal grounds.

The property sits behind an area of level lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds. Extending to around 13 acres, the well-maintained parkland surrounding the property is laid mainly to lawn interspersed with and bordered by mature specimen trees and hedging. Overlooking the church and river to the rear of the property, it offers numerous seating areas and a wealth of walking routes.
