House For Sale £600,000
Dating back to 1889, Brookglen has served as an idyllic lifestyle property for its current owners. Over the years a variety of animals have roamed the grounds, it has created what our sellers have called the perfect small holding. But this property is more than just a small holding; it's also been an ideal family home where the owners raised their children. Our sellers undertook a huge renovation to double the size of the property, install underfloor heating throughout, and create a stunning principal bedroom soaking in views over far-reaching fields.
Brookglen is also a private oasis, with electric wooden gates that keep children and pets safe. While the original front door remains, access is now through the rear. The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home, and once you visit the property it is easy to see why. With a shaker-style kitchen, triple-aspect windows, and tall ceilings, it is the perfect gathering place. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious dining room, perfect for entertaining. A study and a superb sitting room complete the ground floor, with dual-aspect windows, triple bay-windows, and a fireplace that creates a sense of comfort and cosiness.
Upstairs, the bright landing leads to four good-sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms even have en-suites, while the principal bedroom is flooded with natural light and a luxurious sense of space.
The outside space is equally versatile, designed to cater to families who not only want plenty of outside storage but also who love to entertain. The property is set on a plot of over 1 Acre (stms) and features a hot tub area, a large garage, a workshop, stables and more. Those who dream of creating their own small holding will find everything they need here.
For larger families, the grounds could easily become a football or cricket pitch, and the current owners even kept ponies here. This well-proportioned home, located on a quiet lane, is ready to meet its new owners.
