Description
Brook Farm is a quintessential family house; offering owners a unique lifestyle opportunity just 8 miles west of Bristol. Encompassing a delightful Grade II Listed family farmhouse at its heart it stretches out over some 3 acres of grounds to provide expansive level gardens, a fruit orchard, sunny south facing paved dining terrace, heated swimming pool, tennis court, party barn, paddock and a detached one bedroom annexe.

The current owners have beautifully refurbished the house, using skilled artisan firms such as Mark Wilkinson to create a stunning family kitchen, study area (with exceptional storage) as well as within the past 10 years creating a new contemporary family room whilst rewiring and re-plumbing the principle house.

Approached via a private drive with bespoke oak electric gates, there is off-street parking for numerous vehicles, along with a secure 30‘ attached barn ⁄ garage ⁄ workshop.

The front door is accessed via a pretty courtyard garden, although day to day the current owners access the house through the side door into the utility room.

Inside the history of the house is immediately obvious, with thick stone walls keeping the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter as well as presenting exposed stone walls, timber beams and an expanse of original flag stone flooring running through much of the ground floor along with many original wooden doors and latches.

The house flows beautifully, with a formal dining room to one side of the entrance hall and the family‘s formal Drawing room on the other side. This is a delightful room, with a huge Inglenook fireplace to one end and a more day to day wood burning stove at the other. A perfect entertaining space.

To the rear of the property is the charming Mark Wilkinson family kitchen and breakfast room with an expanse of fitted floor and wall mounted storage, silestone worktops and a state of the art Lacanche range cooker.

The kitchen flows into a casual home office space, with further Mark Wilkinson carpentry work providing exceptional storage space for everything countryside and kids! In addition, there is a useful downstairs cloakroom.

This room flows through into the stunning contemporary family room, with pitched ceilings, underfloor heating and a wood burning stove with double doors opening out onto the paved dining terrace and up to the pool.

Accessed from and adjoining the main house are a suite of additional rooms, currently configured as a utility room, gym, pool house with changing and shower facilities, a second prep kitchen (perfect for pool parties) and above the perfect teenagers den or cinema room.

Upstairs the house provides five bedrooms within the original farmhouse with a fabulous master suite enjoying an en-suite bath and shower room and a walk in wardrobe (also fitted by Mark Wilkinson). The four further bedrooms share a well-appointed family bath and shower room. It may be worth noting that Bedroom Four has been adapted to create a safe room with a re-enforced steel door and panic button.<⁄p>
Accessed from the drive is a lovely detached one bedroom annexe, with its own central heating system and oil supply. Over the ground floor is a newly installed fitted kitchen, with a separate generous sitting room opening out onto a small courtyard terrace.
