Brookhouse Farm is a rare, characterful three-storey farmhouse set in about five acres of gardens, paddock and marshland. First time on the market since 1922, it retains period features—high ceilings, original fireplaces and window shutters—while offering versatile living across roughly 3,378 sq ft. A private historic well with a modern filtration system supplies the house; mains water is also available nearby.
The house suits families, multigenerational households or buyers wanting a rural project with immediate livable space. There are five well-proportioned bedrooms and multiple reception rooms, plus cellar storage and a detached workshop (approx. 63 sqm). A private sun deck and elevated views over the paddocks are standout lifestyle benefits, and the roof has been recently renovated.
The property needs some renovation and remedial work: damp issues have been noted and parts of the house require updating. Heating is oil-fired, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The outbuilding and workshop offer conversion potential subject to consents, but these require refurbishment.
Practical strengths include off-street parking, excellent mobile signal and good road links (under 2 miles to the M42). The site offers scope for hobby farming, equestrian use or a rural business base, but buyers should budget for renovation, ongoing maintenance of marshland and confirm service and planning details before purchase.
