Description
Lower Brook End is a charming country house enjoying far reaching views over

has grown over the years, as different owners have extended and adapted the
house. The principal living space within the house is of particular note with an
outstanding, triple aspect, drawing room with its large inglenook fireplace. The
galleried reception hall has wonderful original beams and panelling and the
bright kitchen/breakfast room, which is in the heart of the house is spacious
and perfect for family use. Directly off the kitchen is the family room, with large, glazed doors leading to the terrace to the rear of the property.

sections, with established shrub borders and wonderful specimen
trees. Boundaries on all sides are made up of mainly hawthorn
hedgerows, plus some high laurel screening. To the rear of the
