Brook Farm, Church Lane, Saxelby

Smiths Property Experts are delighted to introduce to the market this beautiful Grade II listed period farmhouse in an idyllic setting on approximately 0.6 acres with wonderful views over neighbouring countryside. Whilst retaining many original features, such as exposed timbers and brickwork, latch doors, and an inglenook fireplace, the property has undergone a comprehensive renovation, resulting in a truly wonderful blend of old and new.

The property was once home to a milk dairy and now offers versatile accommodation to include two principal reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga and a separate utility room, three double bedrooms, and a four-piece bathroom. The extensive grounds include an oak-framed triple garage, complete with a games room over, flagstone seating terraces, formal lawns, and an orchard.

With Yorkshire sliding windows, the property has been significantly improved in recent years.

A stable front door with a canopy porch opens into a reception hall with tiled flooring. A timber staircase with glass panelling leads to the first floor, and there is additional storage within a recess. The utility room features oak-fronted base and wall units with work surfaces over, as well as plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge-freezer.

The farmhouse kitchen is the hub of the home, with bespoke base and wall units providing storage with tiled splashbacks, oak work surfaces and a ceramic one-and-a-half bowl sink. The Aga provides a focal point of the kitchen with space for a further freestanding range-style oven, and a window overlooking countryside to the rear. The central reception room is currently used as a snug and features a beautiful Inglenook fireplace with a cast-iron log burner inset. A secondary staircase leads to the first floor and there is a ground floor wc.

The generous sitting/dining room features exposed timber beams and a brick fireplace with an inset cast iron log burner.

The first floor can be accessed via two staircases, with one leading to the landing and the other directly into the principal bedroom with a door to the Jack and Jill bathroom. There are two further generous double bedrooms, with bedroom two benefiting from built-in wardrobe storage.

The bathroom is beautifully appointed with a four-piece suite comprising a free-standing roll top bath, a spacious double shower cubicle, a wash hand basin with storage beneath, and a low-level WC.
