Description

Nestled within a tranquil 6-acre plot in a sought-after village, this impressive unlisted period property, originally dating back to the 16th century, presents a rare opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors. The Brooks boasts a generous layout of approximately 4,200 sq ft spread over three floors, featuring an array of original characteristics such as large sash windows, ornate picture rails, and decorative fireplaces that can be beautifully restored to accentuate the home's historical charm. The versatile living areas include an expansive reception hall leading to multiple reception rooms filled with natural light. The drawing room features south-facing doors opening to the gardens, while the dining room benefits from a bay window and bespoke seating. The well-appointed Aga kitchen and additional study space offer potential for modern updates that would complement the existing charm. On the upper levels, the property hosts seven bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite with panoramic views and en-suite facilities. A traditional bathroom on the first floor retains classic elements that could be enhanced with contemporary fixtures. The outdoor space combines formal gardens with areas of natural re-wilding, creating an idyllic setting complete with various mature trees and productive vegetable plots. Additionally, the property includes extensive red-brick outbuildings spanning nearly 2,500 sq ft, currently configured for office use but potentially suited for guest accommodation or creative studios. A further detached cottage on site requires significant refurbishment but offers remarkable potential as additional rental or guest space. With mains water, drainage, and electricity in place along with oil-fired heating, this property is poised for transformation into a stunning family home or investment project.
