Brookfields Farm is an exceptional equestrian property which enjoys a secluded position in rural, north Leicestershire. Stunning gardens and paddocks extend to just over 12.3 acres in total featuring a wild swimming pond, manège, 11 stables and an impressive range of outbuildings to include an oak framed triple garage and Dutch barn.

A separate two bedroom converted barn that has been purpose built as a cottage holiday let offers further flexibility and income.

Ground Floor - The property has an extremely spacious, open plan feel and solid oak flooring covers much of the ground floor. A large entrance hall features a seemingly floating oak staircase with LED down lights and metal pin striped balustrade.

A large wrap around reception room is flooded with natural light through a number of large picture windows and bi-fold doors opening on to the south facing terrace. The sitting area is arranged around a large open fire with stone surround. The kitchen family room is a particular feature of the accommodation boasting a high vaulted ceiling. Again flooded with an abundance of natural light, the kitchen spills out onto a wrap around terrace which enjoys countryside views to three sides....

The kitchen family room is very much the heart of this exceptional home, offering ample space for family and friends to gather and the generous sitting area complete with log burner is an ideal space to relax. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of ultra modern, high gloss cabinets with white Mistral
worktops and has a large matching island. A range of integrated appliances include a Falcon range cooker, Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer dishwasher and an instant boiling and filtered water tap. There is also an integrated audio system with Cambridge speakers .

Adjacent to the kitchen is a walk-in pantry which has space for extra kitchen appliances. Further living accommodation includes a spacious family room with connections for a wall mounted TV and picture windows and glass door opens onto a west facing terrace with a slate water feature. A fully equipped utility room with external door and two cloaks/WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

pond is accessible via a timber deck with standard swimming pool steps. Also within the grounds are 2 vegetable gardens with several raised beds and a converted container used for a workshop or potting shed.
