A handsome family house in a prime position, with generous proportions, versatile outbuildings and 7.14 acres of gardens and paddocks, offering the perfect country lifestyle.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE
At the very end of Wissington Uplands, Brialey Hall occupies a prime position, with approximately 7.14 acres forming the largest holding along the lane. Built in 1997, it makes a handsome first impression. A sweeping gravel drive curves towards its red brick façade, where deep bay windows overlook the gardens and paddocks. Set within its own grounds, the house enjoys a lovely sense of privacy.

Inside, a sweeping split staircase, high ceilings and generous proportions create a wonderful sense of space. Fireplaces in the principal reception rooms and an AGA in the kitchen bring warmth and character, making this an inviting home in winter. All principal ground floor rooms open onto the garden, creating an easy flow for family life and summer entertaining.

Upstairs, every bedroom enjoys lovely views across the gardens and land, while integrated air conditioning adds comfort throughout the seasons.

Outside, the tennis court and paddocks offer plenty of scope for country pursuits, with ample grazing for horses and surrounding bridleways to explore. A games room provides space for rainy afternoons and evenings with friends, while garaging and an annexe bring further flexibility for family and guests.
