Brake Mill Farmhouse is a substantial five-bedroom period home set in just over an acre of formal gardens, paddock and versatile outbuildings. The double-fronted façade, rose-covered porch and central oak-floored reception hall introduce character rooms that include two Cotswold stone fireplaces and a traditional country kitchen with AGA. Light-filled reception spaces and a lakeside master suite give the house a comfortable, classic feel for family living.
For home-working or small business use, the fully fitted basement office suite has its own access, WC and Amtico flooring; the five timber stables (including a double stable and a sound-insulated studio/gym) add genuine equestrian or multi-use potential. Formal gardens, a fenced child- and dog-friendly section, large driveway parking and an adjacent paddock extend outdoor options for families, animal owners and hobbyists alike.
Buyers should note practical constraints: broadband speeds are very slow, the EPC rating is E and council tax sits at band F (expensive). The property is offered freehold with no upward chain, but some areas may benefit from updating rather than complete renovation. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the site, lake and flexible outbuildings in person.
