The Property - Brook Farm centres around a substantial 4/6 Bedroom period farmhouse which provides over 2,500 sq ft of well proportioned living accommodation arranged across three floors, all of which now offers excellent potential for modernisation and improvement. 

Situated immediately to the south-east of the dwelling are a connected range of traditional brick-built agricultural buildings which could (LA consent permitting) serve as an extension to the living accommodation. 
The ground floor of the property is typical of the era and boasts a range of comfortably sized reception rooms  ideally suited to families, these presently utilised as a Sitting Room, Dining Room, and general Reception Room, whilst being joined by a Kitchen and a useful Utility.

A passageway leads from the back door to an external store and on to a connecting range of traditional buildings. 
The upper floors continue to offer impressively proportioned rooms, with the first floor featuring four generous Bedroom served by a family Bathroom. 

The second floor is, as yet, undeveloped but boasts three individual rooms, one of which centrally connects, which could readily provide a further 2/3 Bedrooms and, potentially, bathrooms/en-suites.

Outside - Brook Farm extends, in all, to around 12 acres and is presently utilised as a compact dairy farm, with an abreast milking parlour and bulk tank in situ, allowing for a continuation of the current farming enterprise. 

A range of traditional buildings extending to around 11,000 sq ft are positioned around a central courtyard and offer excellent potential for a variety of further usages, be they equestrian or agricultural in nature or, potentially, for residential conversion (LA consent permitting). 

Positioned to the west of the homestead are predominately lawned gardens and ample driveway parking, which overlook an attractive natural pond and an element of the land beyond.
