A beautiful stone, former farmhouse, with delightful garden of 0.42 acres, set along a tranquil lane on the edge of this popular village. The market towns of Oundle and Thrapston are nearby.
Brook Farm House is a beautiful stone property, dating from the mid-1600s and thought to be one of the oldest in the village. It is Listed Grade II. Constructed in coursed limestone, with stone mullioned windows and handsome ashlar chimneys, the older part of the house sits beneath a thatched roof, which was replaced 5 years ago, by Dodsons. The modern part is traditionally built of local stone, beneath a pantile roof.
The current owners have spent 11 years, lovingly maintaining and updating the property, successfully blending modern systems, traditional finishes and the original architectural features. A HIVE controlled, gas central heating system is installed, serving column radiators. There is also under-floor heating in the kitchen and hall. Two Charnwood wood-burning stoves, each with a new chimney liner, have been installed. Brook Farm House is now a turnkey family home, of extraordinary character, set within the most delightful cottage gardens that run down to Thorpe Brook.
The oak front door opens to the reception hall, with has a tiled floor, a period stone fireplace and a door to the rear courtyard. The original pantry is set to the side and offers good storage. The living room has a beautiful mullioned and leaded window with seat beneath, over-looking the front garden. The inglenook houses a wood burner, set on a stone hearth. The cosy snug / study is set beyond, and has windows to either side, each with a seat beneath. Again, a wood burning stove is set on the hearth.
The live-in kitchen / dining room is the hub of the home. It has a tiled floor with heating beneath. There is ample space for food preparation and cooking, with an extensive range of units with polished granite work-surfaces, offering ample storage in cupboards and drawers. The twin butler sink has a mixer tap above. The gas-fired 4 oven Aga is set opposite the island. A dishwasher is built-in, and there is space and plumbing for a large American styled fridge. Large French doors are set opposite the dining area, and open to the terrace, extending the accommodation on a fine day. There is also sufficient space for the sofa and TV. The cloakroom / utility room completes the ground floor accommodation.
The principal bedroom, enjoys great privacy, having its own staircase. This large bedroom has bespoke oak joinery, with latched and ledged doors and oak flooring. The room enjoys air-conditioning. Heritage roof lights offer a view down the garden. A large walk-in wardrobe has hanging and shelving space. The en suite shower room is adjacent.
The main landing is reached via stairs from the living room. There are three lovely bedrooms, each with a pleasing out-look from their deep-sill windows. The second bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes. The bathroom is beautifully appointed with a roll-top bath with shower above, WC and basin set on a washstand.
Brook Farm House is set down a gravelled lane. Timber gates open to the drive which has ample parking and space for garaging. The gardens have been beautifully designed, planted and nurtured, to create a truly English country cottage scene. There are double herbaceous borders, running either side of the terrace. High beech hedging provides great privacy and shelter for those dining alfresco.
The lawn, with central apple tree, runs down, past the barn, which has power and light connected, and on to the potager, which is rabbit fenced and superbly productive, with beds stocked with soft fruits and vegetables. Beyond lies the orchard, which has several fruit trees including apple, pear, quince and plum. A mown path meanders through the trees, to the picnic area, set beside the brook, which is a haven for kingfishers and otters.
