The property enjoys an elevated south-facing position overlooking rolling countryside and a pretty brook meandering through the ByBrook valley. Brooklea has been the subject of a total transformation by the current owners who have thoughtfully evolved the property into an excellent family home well-designed for modern living standards. Other upgrades include a new Klargester drainage system, lpg heating system and zoned underfloor heating warming the entire house. Both inside and out, the property is presented immaculately to be move in ready for the next owners.

This light-filled room has a Bath stone open fireplace and double patio doors spilling out to the charming garden. The versatile dining room connects to the living room and also enjoys a lovely outlook across the garden through patio doors. The kitchen/breakfast room has been superbly fitted with cherry wood units combined with a stylish curved steel effect finish incorporating an extensive amount of storage and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, two dishwasher drawers and a gas hob range cooker with electric oven. Beside the kitchen is a useful utility room with further fitted units and a water softener.
On the first floor, there are four flexible bedrooms including three with generous built-in storage and the fourth which is currently utilised as a luxurious dressing room and could equally make an excellent home office. The bedrooms enjoy lovely rural views overlooking the glorious rolling countryside. The family bathroom is equipped with both a bath and separate shower unit. The principal bedroom benefits further from an en-suite shower room.
Externally, a large paved driveway provides off-street parking for 5 cars in addition to the timber built double carport housing a further 2 cars. Adjoining the garaging is a storeroom/workshop and the entire building has power and lighting. Steps lead up to a delightful mature front garden setting the house away from the lane, whilst the principal garden is arranged to the western and rear aspect enjoying a good degree of sunshine all year round. The garden has been landscaped into various areas including a wonderful secluded patio terrace at the rear, a further sun terrace adjoining the good-sized lawn and timber/plastic sheds.
