Summary - The Brooklands, Shirenewton NP16 6BU
Approximately 3 acres of private grounds and mature orchard
Tucked within approximately three acres of private grounds, The Brooklands is a beautifully restored period farmhouse that blends historic character with modern comforts. The house offers flexible living across generous rooms — including a lower-ground suite that can serve as guest or principal accommodation — plus four spacious bedrooms and two stylish bathrooms. Period features such as exposed stone walls, original fireplaces, timber floors, stained glass and a farmhouse kitchen with a traditional Aga are carried through the renovation, giving the home authentic charm and comfortable practicality.
Outside the property is equally striking: formal lawns, rockeries, a mature orchard, woodland with a brook and a two-storey stone barn with covered parking or storage. The established planting, wildlife-rich stream and a protected bat roost create a peaceful, private country retreat for nature lovers, gardeners and families seeking space and tranquillity. Off-street gravel parking and a turning area provide convenient vehicle access within the large plot.
Buyers should note some practical considerations. Broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect remote working or streaming; the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated and could benefit from sympathetic insulation works if greater thermal efficiency is required. The woodland contains a bat roost and a small cave, which is an ecological asset but will impose legal protections and constraints on certain types of external works. The property sits in an area classified as very deprived despite low local crime and a prospering countryside setting, which may influence local services and funding.
Overall, The Brooklands will suit buyers who prioritise character, space and countryside living — families, multi-generational households or those seeking a lifestyle property with scope to adapt outbuildings. The recent renovation reduces immediate internal refurbishment needs, while the large grounds and historic barn present longer-term potential for conversion or landscaping, subject to consents and ecological protections.
