Launde, Leicester

Brook Farm is a charming, period, stone-built five-bedroom farm house set within a generous plot, featuring extensive outbuildings, and beautifully maintained south-facing gardens, all in a private and tranquil setting.

Ground Floor - The ground floor is arranged around a central entrance hall and offers a superb blend of practical living and period charm.

A dining kitchen featuring an external door and windows that open onto a terrace and the garden beyond. The bespoke kitchen is well-appointed with an excellent range of fitted units, a selection of integrated appliances, an electric 4 door AGA, and a central island. Adjacent to the kitchen is a well-equipped boot room providing additional storage and space for white goods.

The two principal reception rooms, which flank the entrance hall, are full of character with flagstone floors, south-facing windows, and feature fireplaces—one with a log-burning stove, the other with an open fire. A vaulted cellar leads off the hall.

A formal dining room with wood burner leads from the kitchen and provides access to the study. A downstairs cloakroom is accessed from the study.

First Floor - The first floor is served by two separate staircases. The main staircase rises from the entrance hall to four well-proportioned double bedrooms offering picturesque views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. A spacious family bathroom, accessible from both landings, features a panelled bath, separate shower, twin basins in vanity unit, low-flush WC, and a heated towel rail.

A secondary staircase, accessed from the dining room, leads to the principal bedroom—a generous vaulted space complete with a log-burning stove and en-suite WC.

Outside - Brook Farm occupies a generous plot of magnificent countryside, with in excess of 5 acres comprising paddock, orchard, and spinney available by negotiation. The property is further complemented by extensive outbuildings, well-suited to a variety of uses.

The property is approached via a five-bar gate leading to a substantial driveway with ample off-road parking and access to the barn and outbuildings. Some of the outbuildings benefit from existing planning permission for conversion to create a two bed, two bath annex and double height drawing room.

The formal gardens lie to the south of the house, predominantly laid to lawn with mature borders and specimen trees with a small spinney. A beautifully landscaped terrace provides an idyllic outdoor entertaining space with views over the garden, pond, and surrounding countryside.

Brook Farm offers a totally private and tranquil space immersed in unspoilt countryside.
