Brook House is of timber frame construction with a brick façade, under a slate roof. The house was originally the Drs house and surgery and is one of the most important properties located within the heart of the village featuring impressive high ceilings, sash windows and solid wood flooring, beautifully refurbished and extended to provide a fantastic family living space.
The accommodation commences with an ‘L’ shaped reception hall with turning staircase leading to the first floor. The property enjoys a generous amount of reception space, with two of the principal rooms linking to a delightful south facing sun room overlooking the garden. There is a rear utility room with external access, allowing this part of the house, with modifications, to be potentially utilised independently as an annexe. There is a comfortable study and cloakroom whilst the remainder of the ground floor accommodation has been thoughtfully designed for family living and entertaining. The 31’ kitchen/diner is very much the heart of the home, fitted with a bespoke range of units with integrated appliances. The sitting room is situated to the side of the house with bi-fold doors with views overlooking the garden.
The first-floor accommodation offers six bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the rooms enjoy en suite facilities with the principal bedroom having an enclosed balcony with southerly views towards St Mary’s Church.
OUTSIDE
To the side of the property, double timber gates open to a sweeping drive providing parking for several vehicles. The two-storey coach house is positioned to the side of the driveway providing garaging, workshop and further storage room. There is a first-floor studio offering potential for a variety of uses, if required. The building provides power and light.
The south facing garden provides a wonderful addition to the house and extends from the sun room and sitting room onto a private terrace, ideal for entertaining and alfresco dining. The remainder of the garden has been predominantly laid to lawn interspersed with specimen trees and shrubs with a summerhouse and garden store. Beyond the northern boundary is a small brook with open countryside views. In all the plot extends to approximately 0.65 of an acre (stls).
LOCATION
The thriving and sought after village of Great Bardfield offers an array of facilities including two pubs, village supermarket, deli, butchers’ shop and cafes as well as a highly regarded Primary School.
The village is surrounded by open countryside and farmland, offering access to a network of footpaths and bridleways.
