House For Sale £1,600,000
Arguably the most recognisable house in Newton, the property sits proudly and forms part of a charming village scene, presented in rendered colour washed elevations with exposed timber framing under a series of pitched peg tiled roofs surmounted by impressive chimney stacks. Internally the property offers beautifully presented accommodation over three floors with versatile attic space and, as one would expect, there are many impressive period features including exposed wall and ceiling timbers, fine inglenook fireplaces and well-appointed luxury bathrooms as well as a superb bespoke Aga kitchen/breakfast room.
On the ground floor the fine timbered porch leads into a vaulted reception hall with impressive oak staircase to the first floor and door to cloakroom. There is a stunning Cinema room with impressive fully vaulted 20’ high ceiling, a well-proportioned 20’ drawing room with substantial inglenook fireplace, recessed square bay window with stained glass depicting historical figures and an adjoining dining room again with a fine red brick inglenook fireplace.
The snug is complimented by an attractive fireplace, oak panelling to dado height and striking armorial crested stained glass windows.
A particularly attractive feature of the property is the beautiful kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with a range of bespoke cream painted wall and base units with granite work surfaces and a large central island with breakfast bar. There is a range of integrated appliances including a cream Aga and inset double bowl Butler’s sink. There is excellent storage in a large walk-in pantry and a further downstairs cloakroom. The utility room is fitted with similar bespoke units, a second butler’s sink and spaces for washing machine and American style fridge freezer.
A secondary staircase leading to the first and second floors is accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room. The remainder of the ground floor comprises an inner hall and a charming snug. The main staircase leads to the first floor where there is a principal bedroom suite with adjoining dressing room and ensuite bathroom and three further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. A further flight of stairs from the kitchen lead to the second floor where there is a large landing and further bedroom.
Overall the combination of well-presented and characterful accommodation, delightful grounds and outbuildings make Brook House an extremely appealing family home and early inspection is highly recommended.
The property is approached over a shared gravel drive leading to the private drive and a detached weather boarded barn with mezzanine, and which features a tiled floor and fully vaulted 21’ high ceilings and is suitable for a variety of uses. On the southern elevation there is an open bay suitable for parking and two pairs of hardwood doors to the main barn providing ease of access. The gravel drive continues past the barn through two pairs of gates giving access to the rear garden.
The front garden has been laid to lawn and features well tendered flower and shrub borders and a mature hedge offering a good degree of privacy. The rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and feature an attractive brick paved terrace, partly walled dining area with decking and terrace with outdoor heated swimming pool measuring approximately (30’ x 15’ plus roman end), pool house and outdoor kitchen.
Newton Green is a popular village that centres around the golf course on which all local residents are allowed to play the front 9 holes without payment. Further amenities include the popular Saracens Head pub/restaurant as well as the Church. For the commuter there is direct access along the A134 to Colchester station (about 11 miles) with fastest trains to the City taking about 48 minutes. The market town of Sudbury is about 2.5 miles, and Long Melford about 4 miles.
