Brook House

BENNET SAMWAYS are delighted to offer for sale this very individual and characterful three bedroom detached country home requiring modernisation.
A fantastic opportunity to acquire a potentially stunning house in a sought after location, complete with an acre of land. The gross internal area is an outstanding 2,100sq.ft. with particularly large accommodation on the ground floor. The property is offered with no upward chain.

Interior - Brook House has an impressive reception hall, leading to a dining room with parquet flooring, and entrance into the well-proportioned sitting room. Featuring a beamed ceiling, brick inglenook fireplace with log burning stove, two large bay windows flood sunlight into the room whilst providing a view of the rear garden, complete with pond. To the right of the hall is a double bedroom, with a stunning arched window in a sunrise design. The hall also leads into the farmhouse kitchen, having base and wall mounted units, with granite work tops over, a gas Aga, and space for dishwasher and fridge. The kitchen features beamed ceilings and stone flagged flooring, and leads to the family area/snug. Through an arch is a breakfast room with fitted breakfast bar, and views into the garden. Leading off the snug is a cloakroom, utility room and study.
On the first floor the impressive master bedroom has a walk-in dressing room, large ensuite shower room and features a wooden beamed ceiling. Bedroom two is a double with fitted wardrobes, and a large ensuite shower room. There is also a storage room.

Exterior - The grounds (0.32 acres) are divided into front and rear gardens, with patios, lawns, pond and planted borders. The entrance driveway provides ample parking, and a paddock of 0.68 acres lies to the west side of the property.

Locality - Located on Intakes Lane, positioned in-between Brailsford and Turnditch villages, with nearby hamlets of Muggington and Mercaston.

Owner's perspective - Brook House offers an ideal of countryside living, whilst having the market towns of Belper and Ashbourne, and Derby city, only a short drive away. The lovely village of Brailsford is just 5 minutes down the road and has a well stocked Post Office/local shop, a doctor's surgery and dispensary, school and pub. The house itself has a very spacious ground floor, which rooms have, over the years, been put to a variety of uses including extra bedrooms, study, office, games room and library. The approach to the house is secluded by a hedge which curves from the road, and the driveway brings you to private parking in the front courtyard. Waking up in Brook House enables an appreciation of the long-reaching views over the trees to the hillside beyond, and the garden provides the perfect spot for outside dining.
