5 bedroom house

Lower Brook End is a wonderful country house with views over adjoining farmland. It is in a peaceful and private setting with open space surrounding the property. Originally 16th Century, the house has grown organically over the years, as different families have adapted and extended the house to best suit their individual family needs.

The principal living space within the house is of particular note with an outstanding, triple aspect, drawing room with its large inglenook fireplace, the galleried reception hall with original beams and panelling and the kitchen/breakfast room, which is in the heart of the house. The kitchen is flooded with light throughout the day. Directly off the kitchen is the family room, with large glazed doors leading to the terrace to the rear of the property.

Plans have been prepared to extend the house by adding a large oak orangery to the kitchen to create a new dining area.

One of the great benefits of Lower Brook End is the flexibility of accommodation afforded by its extensive outbuildings. The old stable block currently incorporates a wonderful garden kitchen and extensive storage space. Plans have been prepared to show how the building could be converted into a 2 bedroom barn conversion.

Further ancillary accommodation can be found in The Granary and The Cottage: two separate dwellings linked by an inter-connecting door. They provide wonderful, additional and extremely flexible accommodation for friends or family and are comfortable enough for either a short or extended stay.

Planning permission has been granted to replace the current Granary and Cottage and build a 4,500 sq ft complimentary, period-style, 5 bedroom replacement dwelling. Further information can be obtained from the vendors' agents.

Beautifully positioned in private gardens and grounds of about 2.75 acres, the property is entered via a sweeping gravel driveway, winding through established gardens to a large turning area in front of the house.

The gardens for the most part are laid to lawn, with some established shrub borders and wonderful specimen trees. Boundaries on all sides are both fencing and natural, mostly hawthorn hedgerows, plus some high laurel screening.

To the rear of the gardens there is a well-presented tennis court as well as a pond.

There is a wonderful walled garden to the south of the property. Landscaped by the current owners, the gardens are part-terraced, part laid to grass, with a wonderful, central ornamental feature. The terraced section benefits from the shelter of a large pergola and is linked to the outside kitchen, perfect for outdoor entertaining.
