About mulberry brook The vendors have invested a fair amount into revamping the property during their ownership and, as with any large property, there is always room for you to put your own stamp on it. This is an ideal home for a family and the layout offers potential to utilise part as independent living quarters if required. The accommodation briefly comprises main hall, ground floor w.c., sitting room, formal dining room/home office, snug, study, dining kitchen, utility room, large gym, lounge, shower room, and refreshment area. On the first floor you will find a large galleried landing, master bedroom with balcony and en suite bathroom, 4 further double bedrooms (one accessed only from the ground floor lounge), house bathroom, and a further w.c. The property has double glazing, and an updated gas central heating system with 'Hive' control, new boiler, and individually controlled zoned areas. There are lovely views to be enjoyed from almost every window overlooking the extensive gardens and grounds which provide a lovely habitat for a variety of birds and wildlife, and then far-reaching views across the valley. Externally, a pair of electrically operated entrance gates open to a sweeping driveway which brings you up to the house and to ample parking and turning area. There are three outside patios/terraces which all offer something different. The first is accessed only via the bi-fold doors of the sitting room and is a great place for entertaining friends and al fresco dining. At the other end of the property is a paved patio ideal for breakfast outside or a less formal barbeque area. The main terrace is huge and is located immediately to the rear of the house overlooking the grounds. This terrace is enclosed by timber fencing and laid with decking which has been cut out to house the heated swimming pool which is simply a pool liner on a steel frame as opposed to a permanent structure built into the ground. Should you not want the pool, the vendors would be happy to take it away and replace the space with decking. The rest of the land is mainly lawned or laid to grass and has mature trees and shrubs around the boundaries. Planning permission is granted for the erection of cattery buildings should you wish to pursue it and create a little business.
