House For Sale £3,200,000
Understood to date originally from the mid-17th century, Brook Grange is an impressive and attractive timber framed house with various later additions and alterations. It retains a wealth of period features, including many exposed beams and leaded light windows.
During recent years, the property has been the subject of significant further alteration and upgrading to create a superbly stylish and substantial family home of great character and charm.
The front door opens into a wonderfully light and welcoming oak-framed reception hall with its vaulted timber roof structure and skylight. Travertine limestone tiles extend from the hall throughout most of the ground floor creating a great sense of light and space.
Beyond the hall, ground floor accommodation comprises five generously proportioned reception rooms. The accommodation flows well and provides both formal entertaining and more relaxed family living. The heart of this beautiful home is the superb kitchen/breakfast room set in an open plan arrangement with a contemporary glazed extension from which French doors open onto the terrace. A four-oven AGA, bespoke kitchen furniture with integrated appliances plus a central island makes for very comfortable living.
First floor accommodation comprises an elegant principal suite, with attractive garden and rural views. There are five further bedrooms on this floor, one with en suite bathroom, and a family bathroom. Stairs lead to an attic bedroom and shower room.
Next to the house is a recently rebuilt detached outbuilding which has thermal double glazed windows, underfloor heating, exposed ducted air conditioning, oak trusses and ultrafast broadband.
The property is approached over a long shared gravel drive, with neighbouring Brook Farm, to automatic gates that open to an extensive gravel forecourt and parking area. Adjoining this area, a barn style carport provides covered space for two vehicles.
A paved path, with lavender and topiary box shrubs, leads towards the house with steps up to the terrace and front door. The grounds, that lie mainly to the north and west of the house, comprise a full width stone paved terrace, with attractive elevated views over the grounds and countryside beyond. The terrace and gardens are secluded and enjoy a high level of privacy. Steps lead down from the terrace to an extensive lawn, with a variety of shrub and herbaceous borders.
Beyond the lawn, a heated swimming pool, with paved surround, occupies a perfect sun-trap corner. There is also a hard tennis court. Beyond the garden, post and rail fencing encloses a watered pony paddock.
