Brookside Lane, Badby, Daventry, Northamptonshire, NN11

Versatile country home with garaging, surrounded by gardens and views.

Description

Brook House is a spacious, detached house tucked away on the edge of the village surrounded by private gardens. It enjoys a real sense of light and space and offers impressive views from all aspects.

There is a lovely light reception hall with underfloor heating, from which flow four reception rooms; the sitting room, dining room, family room and study. The two larger reception rooms have direct access through glazed doors to the garden offering a fantastic outside entertaining space.

The hub of the house is the kitchen/breakfast room with extensive fitted storage, granite work surfaces, integrated dishwasher and under counter fridge. There is a central island with breakfast bar, and gas Redfyre (Aga) range with roasting and warming ovens. From here double doors open out on to a terrace and garden. The kitchen is complimented with a useful utility room and separate WC, leading out onto the boot room with direct access to the rear garden.

Above the double garage, with access from the main house, is the generous party/games room providing space for family entertaining or home office. Scope exists to alter this room to create an integral annexe, subject to the relevant planning consents.

On the first floor there is a spacious galleried landing with light filtering down from two roof lights to the reception hall below. There are six generous bedrooms, three en suites (two with shower and bath and one with shower) and a family bathroom with bath and shower.

The house sits centrally within ample gardens, predominantly laid to lawn with hedge boundaries and various herbaceous borders, apple trees, eucalyptus, paved entertaining areas and a water feature/ornamental pond. The house is approached through a pair of wooden five bar gates that open on to a driveway that leads to the front of the house. There is off road parking and access to the integral double garage with electric up and over doors.

Sitting on the edge of the village and backing onto pasture, there is certainly a sense of being part of the village yet enjoying considerable space and privacy.

There are footpaths to the south and east of the property, allowing access for dog walking and into Badby Woods.
