Step inside The Brooklands and you find a thoughtfully restored period home set in about three acres of private grounds. The house blends historic features—exposed stone walls, timber floors, stained glass and original fireplaces—with modern comforts including a renewed boiler, gas central heating and double glazing. The layout suits family life: generous reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/dining area with a farmhouse Aga, and flexible lower-ground accommodation currently used as a sitting suite with shower room.
Outside is a major part of the appeal. Mature lawns, rockeries and a productive orchard sit alongside deciduous woodland and a trout stream, creating a secluded, wildlife-rich setting. A two-storey stone barn and covered parking/store add practical scope for garaging, hobby use or conversion subject to consents. Gravelled parking provides ample off-street space and the plot offers excellent privacy and room for gardens, play or small-scale equestrian or agricultural pursuits.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds are very slow, and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated which may affect running costs despite recent renovation. The property contains a protected bat roost in the woodland—an ecological asset that brings legal protections and may limit some external works. No flood risk is recorded and the home is freehold.
This is a strong choice for buyers seeking a restored, character-rich family home with extensive private grounds and outbuildings. It will particularly suit those who value tranquillity, nature and space rather than fast digital connectivity. The accommodation and barn also offer potential for adaptation, subject to planning and ecological considerations.
