Description - The Brookhouse is a Grade II Listed former farm house and is believed to date back to the 16th Century, but at least to the 17th Century as it date stone suggests. The property originally stood on a site near to Bucknall, Staffordshire, however it had fallen into disrepair when its previous owner bought it in the early 1970's and relocated it to its existing position in Knighton. The dismantling and careful rebuilding lead to an extensive restoration programme and took many years to complete, using traditional methods and materials where possible. The original house, in its original location, did have a further wing extending from the breakfast room and there may still be the potential to reinstate this, subject to normal planning permissions.

The property benefits from many period features but comes with modern day luxury of a high standard, including Portuguese travertine floor in the hallway and kitchen areas, Villager wood burning stoves and Stonewood fitted bathrooms. The oak timber frame is prominent throughout but also includes solid oak doors, staircases and kitchen units.
Externally the garage (The Cart Lodge) is of oak frame and the converted outbuilding (The Old Stables)

Directions - From Nantwich proceed south along the A51 towards Stone, after passing Bridgemere Garden World proceed into the village of Woore, proceed for about ½ mile, turn right at Islands Cross (signed Eccleshall and Dorrington), proceed along here and take the second right into Smithy Lane, continue past the private road sign where you will see the stone gated entrance to The Brookhouse.

Location And Amenities - The Brookhouse is situated in the pretty village of Knighton, in a semi-rural location. The village benefits from a local pub and a village hall and the larger villages of Woore and Lodggerheads offer a variety of facilities including a Post Office/general store and public houses. The towns of Market Drayton, Nantwich and Stoke on Trent are within easy travelling distance and offer a more comprehensive range of shopping, social and sporting facilities. The property is private but is still within easy access of the M6 motorway for ease of commuting to the north and south of the country and rail travel to London Euston (90 minutes) is available from Crewe railway station. International travel is available from airports located at Birmingham, Manchester and East Midlands.

The Accommodation Comprises: - (with approximate measurement)

A solid oak door with intricate iron hinges leads into the hallway which is currently utilised as a practical breakfast area with a Portuguese travertine floor. The principal reception rooms lead from the hall starting with a striking dining room with oak floor and a stone fireplace with wood burning stove. From the dining room you proceed through a comfortable sitting room with a further fireplace of stone and brick with wood burning stove, to the principal drawing room, where the oak frame is really shown off to its full advantage with another Villager wood burning stove with solid oak surround and windows to three aspects providing ample light.
Moving back to the hall, yet another oak door leads through to the kitchen with solid oak kitchen units with granite worktops Including a useful central island, Portuguese travertine floor and a Rangemaster cooker. The downstairs accommodation also benefits from a WC and boot room.

Stairs from the hall lead down to the converted cellars, with a spacious family room which could be utilised for many purposes such as play room or home cinema. A second room which shows the sandstone recovered from the 13th century abbey is a versatile space and could be a fifth bedroom or study. The first floor accommodation is split; the first staircase leads from the hall up to the master bedroom with dual aspect windows and exposed beams, a further double bedroom and a well fitted four piece bathroom with roll top bath, walk in shower, WC and double sinks set into an oak framed unit.
