Summary - HOME FARM, OAKHAM ROAD, OAKHAM, BROOKE LE15 8DG
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Secluded 17th-century farmhouse with extensive equestrian facilities and 12 acres.
Grade II listed 17th-century thatched farmhouse with period features
Home Farm is a Grade II listed 17th-century thatched farmhouse set in about 12 acres on the edge of Brooke, offering substantial character accommodation and purpose-built equestrian facilities. The house combines original features — exposed beams, flagstone floors, stone fireplaces and a thatched roof — with versatile living including a dining kitchen, three reception rooms and a study that could serve as a fifth bedroom. A self-contained one-bedroom annexe above the stable block adds flexible guest or staff accommodation.
The grounds and outbuildings are a major asset: five stone stables, four timber stables, a tack room, brick barn and extensive fenced paddocks give immediate scope for equestrian or smallholding use. Landscaped terraces, a walled courtyard and mature specimen trees create private outdoor rooms and attractive entertaining spaces. Listed planning consent exists for a substantial two-storey extension to the rear, offering clear scope to increase living space (plans available on request).
Buyers should be aware this is a listed property with a thatched roof and oil-fired heating, which brings higher maintenance and specialist repair costs and may limit alterations. Drainage is to a private septic tank and council tax is high (Band G for the main house). The property has been restored in the past and benefits from strong privacy and low local crime, but prospective purchasers must factor listed-consent obligations and ongoing thatch/upkeep into running costs.
This home suits buyers seeking countryside lifestyle with equestrian capacity or a family wanting generous living space in an attractive village location. It will particularly appeal to owners prepared for conservation-minded maintenance or those wanting to develop the permitted extension to personalise and enlarge the principal house.
