Brandon View
This exquisitely designed former glebe house has been meticulously restored by its current owners, serving as a testament to an era that celebrated timeless craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail.
The journey begins with original cut stone steps leading to a classical Georgian front door adorned with a decorative fanlight. Upon entering, you are greeted by a light-filled entrance hall featuring tall ceilings, solid wood floors, and a cast-iron radiator that imparts warmth and character to the space.
To the right, discover the kitchen, a perfect fusion of traditional and contemporary. Two walls are painted in inviting black tones, contrasting elegantly with crisp white walls to create a welcoming and stylish environment. Illuminated by three large sash windows, two of which are accompanied by cushioned window seats offering serene views of Brandon Hill, the kitchen is anchored by an open fire. White cabinetry with gold hardware, an island unit, an AGA, and a delightful dining area complete the space, making it both functional and aesthetically striking.
On the opposite side of the hall, the living room features two large sash windows with comfortable seats, solid wood floors, and a wood-burning stove beneath an Adams-style fireplace, creating a perfect setting for family gatherings and relaxed evenings.
Ascending the main staircase to the first floor, a door on the return landing opens onto a balcony overlooking the walled garden, a tranquil space to enjoy the morning sun with a cup of coffee.
The master bedroom is a sanctuary of luxury and comfort, with wooden floors painted in a crisp white hue, creating a minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired ambience. The adjoining ensuite doubles as the main bathroom on this floor and includes a double sink, contemporary wet room shower, traditional freestanding bathtub, and a high tank pull-chain toilet. This level also features a generously sized walk-in closet and two additional bedrooms, one double and one single, both offering splendid views of the surrounding grounds.
The basement has been thoughtfully renovated to provide versatile living accommodation, ideal for a family member, Au Pair, or home office. A cosy office area welcomes you at the foot of the stairs. To the left, a spacious double bedroom features an exposed original brick wall and an exquisite mantlepiece, while to the right, a multifunctional home cinema room awaits. This space is equipped with a kitchenette, a peninsula island with seating for three, and a bathroom with a toilet, handbasin, and shower. Underfloor heating ensures warmth throughout the basement, enhancing comfort and functionality.
Additional features include double-glazed sash windows throughout, a new boiler and water tank, a heating system integrated with a smart phone app, and fiber optic high-speed internet, providing the perfect blend of historic character and modern convenience.
GARDENS
Upon entering through period cast iron electric gates, Brandon View unveils an enchanting panorama. The sweeping avenue guides you toward the majestic Brandon Hill, stretching as far as the eye can see. The journey culminates in a gravel turning circle, framed by a low, semi-circular wall thoughtfully designed so as not to obscure the breathtaking scenery.
Beyond this, the grounds open into a superb setting comprising three large paddocks, all contained within one continuous land holding and ideally suited for grazing and exercise. The paddocks are bounded by mature hedging, providing natural shelter and clear definition to each field. The gentle topography falls naturally towards the River Barrow, with the fields fronting onto the river. A gravel path leads to steps descending from the lawns to the paddocks below, while towering, mature evergreen trees frame the landscape. From across the land, there are truly spectacular views over the River Barrow and its adjoining walkway, creating a rare and picturesque riverside setting.
Enhancing the appeal of the grounds further is a delightful apple and pear orchard, offering both seasonal beauty and the charm of homegrown produce, perfectly complementing the property's idyllic rural setting.
Adjacent to the main residence, meticulously maintained lawns and vibrant gardens create a serene and inviting setting. To the rear, a charming enclosed walled garden opens from the back door, forming a private oasis. Here, pristine lawns and a cobbled patio area provide the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. A small, conveniently located shed serves practical gardening needs with dedicated storage for equipment.
Completing the rear aspect is a substantial American-style barn housing a range of stables, ideal for equestrian enthusiasts wishing to combine luxury living with a passion for horses. The barn offers exceptional potential for a variety of uses including additional stabling, a car garage, guest accommodation, or further ancillary space, subject to the necessary permissions. The property benefits from separate troughs and water supply for animals, connected to the parish water scheme, independent of the main household well.
Additionally, the current owners have rented portions of the land to a local farmer, offering a potential supplementary revenue stream without additional labour.
