Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION ** This beautifully presented, light and spacious Five Bedroom Detached House is set in immaculate Gardens and Grounds totalling 2.23 acres.

You approach the house through electric gates which open to the gravelled driveway which sweeps to the right of the property to the detached Double Garage and a further set of gates out onto the lane.

Entering the property through the Hallway to the front, and to your right is the Cloakroom and stairs that lead up to the first floor. To your left is the Dining Room which sets the tone of quality and light that you'll find throughout the property - oak doors, oak flooring, a feature stone fireplace and inset spotlights to the ceiling. Off the Dining Room is the Lounge - a lovely light space with a large bay window overlooking the front Garden and a log burning stove.

Returning to the Dining Room and there's a door to the Cellar which has light and power, and a further door to the Snug which has the same high specification floors and doors, dual aspect windows and a feature brick fireplace housing a log burner.

The Kitchen has a range of bespoke oak units with granite worktops, integrated dishwasher and two fridges, double Belfast sink, an electric Range Master cooker, a central island with wine cooler and feature brick walls and polished tiled floor. There's patio doors out to the Garden and double doors open to the rear Hallway.

Off this Hallway is the Guest Bedroom with En Suite Shower Room - a lovely, light room overlooking the Garden - and the polished tiled flooring flows round to the second Entrance Hall/Snug - a dual-height space overlooked by the gallery landing. A further door leads to the large Utility with space for two tall fridge freezers, washing machine and tumble dryer - and a further door opens to the Garage with workshop area and electric Garage door.

To the first floor of the main house, you turn left at the top of the stairs to the Principal Bedroom with built-in wardrobes and drawers and an En Suite with power shower. Adjacent to this is Bedroom Four - another double bedroom which would make a great nursery. To the right of the stairs is Bedroom Two with En Suite, and then the Landing leads to the main Bathroom with sunken spa bath - a wonderful space to relax and unwind - and on to Bedroom Three which is also En Suite and then the Landing which overlooks the Snug/Hallway.

The One Bedroom Apartment sits above the Garage and has it's own independent entrance which opens to a Snug/Office space and stairs that lead up to the open-plan Kitchen/Living area with breakfast bar, integrated fridge, double oven and hob with extractor fan over. Off the Landing is the Double Bedroom with wardrobe and spacious Shower Room with double shower.

Externally, Brooklands has so much to offer! As you enter the property there's a large lawned area to your right, and to your left there's a garden gate opening to the front lawn that sweeps around the side of the property to a super-size lawned Garden to the rear. All the hedges are fenced with livestock fencing and so have been dog-friendly for the owner's dog who has had free range of the whole plot!

There's a tennis court which is in need of some TLC - it's currently a rather fabulous chicken run! To the rear of the property is the pony paddock with post and rail fencing and a water tap. The Double Garage has an electric roller door and houses the inverter for the solar panels, and steps lead up to a boarded out area that has been used as a kids play room.

This wonderful, versatile house is presented to the highest standards with quality finishing touches throughout such as oak floors and doors, inset lighting and sensor lights to all the En Suites.
 

LOCATION Blackbrook is a hamlet almost equidistance between the villages of Woore, Baldwins Gate and Loggerheads where you'll find local stores, Post Offices and Primary Schools.
