Brook House is a rare family home offered to the market for the first time in over 60 years. Built in 1961 and much loved by its previous owners, the property occupies a well-set position within the village and backs onto open countryside with a stream forming the rear boundary. True to its original design, the house retains high ceilings and large picture windows that maximise natural light and frame the southerly outlook. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation offers well-proportioned living space together with clear potential for updating and further conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

The property is approached via a wooden five-bar gate opening onto a gated driveway providing extensive hardstanding and access to the double garage. A covered porch leads into a welcoming reception hall featuring a statement open-tread staircase rising to the upper floors and useful understairs storage.

From the hall, the accommodation opens into the sitting room, which enjoys French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The room is centred around an open fireplace and framed by large picture windows that take full advantage of the southerly aspect and open countryside views beyond, creating a light and well-connected main reception space.

Leading off the main reception space is a separate snug, providing a more private retreat or secondary sitting room which could also be used as a dining room.

The breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of floor and wall units and enjoys views over the side elevation. A walk-in pantry provides practical additional storage, while the adjoining utility room offers further cupboard space along with doors to the side elevation and internal access into the double garage. A WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor has been altered from its original layout and now provides five bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower room facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom fitted with a bath, wash hand basin and WC. The layout offers flexibility for family living or guest accommodation, with bedrooms arranged to both the front and rear elevations, and additional built-in storage cupboards positioned off the landing.

The second floor provides the sixth bedroom, which has access to storage cupboards within the eves. Leading from this level is a substantial attic space offering further potential for conversion into additional living accommodation or bedroom space, subject to the necessary planning and building regulation consents.

Set centrally within grounds extending to approximately three-quarters of an acre, the plot widens toward the rear and is bordered by mature planting. The front garden is laid to lawn and screened for privacy, while the rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect and has been carefully tended by the previous owners. A meandering stream with a bridge forms the rear boundary beyond which open fields extend. A slabbed patio with stone detailing provides an outdoor dining area and a tranquil outlook. There is also further land to the side of the property with a shed and gated access back to thr front.
