5 bedroom house

Brackenwood we are advised was built in 1936 and has since been extended and now provides the most fabulous family home, finished in a classical style.
The house is approached into a substantial reception hall with stone flooring, an open fireplace and staircase leading up to the first floor. Off this, steps lead down to a very impressive drawing room with high ceilings and an open, working stone fireplace. At the other end of the house is the substantial kitchen/breakfast/family room with stone and wood flooring, an Aga and a wonderful outlook over the gardens.
On the first floor is the principal bedroom suite and two further suites. Of note is the substantial store room on the eastern side, which previously had planning permission to be converted into a further
bedroom suite incorporating dormer windows. This has now lapsed. On the second floor are two further bedrooms and a bathroom.
To the east of the house is the barn style garaging with adjoining store/workshop and logstore.
Brackenwood is approached through an electrically operated 5-bar gate into the gravel driveway which swings up to the front of the house and garaging. The driveway is bordered either side by
expanses of lawn and there is a vegetable garden to the rear of the garage.
Extending around 3 sides of the house are the more 'formal' garden areas, which have recently been professionally designed and planted with manicured box hedging and well-stocked flower and shrub borders. On the western side is a substantial terrace with steps leading up to the lawn. On the southern side is a wisteria clad pergola and further well-stocked flower and shrub borders. Beyond the formal lawns, the gardens lead into less formal areas with post and rail fencing, leading into the woodland with a carpet of bluebells in the spring, in addition to mature rhododendrons.
The grounds on the outer boundaries have a wealth of mature oaks, acers, azaleas and camellias and adjoin farmland to the north.
