Redbrook House

Occupying a peaceful position, set back from the lane and towards the rear of its plot, Redbrook House is very pretty Victorian farmhouse that enjoys southerly views over the garden and a 1.6 acre paddock. Having been in the same ownership since 1991, it was originally the farmhouse to Lower Farm. The neighbouring farm buildings have nearly all been converted to residential dwellings comprising seven properties in total.

Beautifully presented and very well maintained, the house is set in a total area of 2.26 acres and extends to 3,331 (excluding the garaging) square feet over two floors. It enjoys comfortable well-proportioned accommodation and retains charming period features that include exposed beams, brick fireplaces, window seats and pretty windows.

The accommodation briefly comprises an oak framed entrance hall, a farmhouse kitchen (complete with an Aga), a dining room, drawing room and music room. A cloakroom and a large utility room complete the ground floor. The first floor is in two parts with separate staircases. Facing south and looking out onto the front lawn is a very generous master bedroom with a walk in wardrobe and a large en-suite with a freestanding bath and a separate shower. There are two other bedrooms and a shower room on this side of the house. The staircase from the dining room leads up to two guest bedrooms and a 'Jack and Jill' shower room.

The house is not historically listed. The oak framed entrance porch (which also double as a sun room) was added to the house in 2015 as was the double garage and a useful workshop or store room. There is parking for several cars in front of and down the side of the garage.

Dotted with a number of mature trees, the gardens are predominantly lawned with established shrub borders, wall and hedge boundaries that ensure a good level of privacy. The gardens wrap around three sides of the house with a number of secluded seating areas and charming views over a neighbouring duck pond. Between the driveway and the garden wall is an area of orchard and a wildlife pond.

The photovoltaic panels are in the paddock as are the pipes for the ground source heat pump buried some way below the surface. Part of the paddock has been fenced off to create a small arboretum planted 5 years ago. Also fenced off from the paddock are a number of productive raised beds. No public rights of way cross the property.

Services: Heating via a ground source heat pump. Mains electricity, water and sewage. Photovoltaic panels with Tesla battery storage. Oil fired Aga. Wood burning stove in the sitting room.

Redbrook House is the original farmhouse and one of 7 cottages or barn conversions set in a peaceful location at the end of a private no-through lane on the edge of the village.
