Two Brooks Lane, Hawkshaw

With unrivalled views over Two Brooks Valley and Holcombe Hill and a serene stream-side setting, Turton House offers spacious living, glorious gardens and outstanding entertaining potential, in the peaceful village of Hawkshaw.

Sweeping up from Two Brooks Lane, ample parking for three cars is available at the front of Turton House. Step inside, where the front door opens into a welcoming porch, tiled in York stone and bathed in natural light from a large arched window framing verdant views over the garden and Hawkshaw countryside. A converted barn, Turton House retains its thick, solid walls, providing warmth in winter and a cool retreat in summer.

Beyond the front door, a solid oak door leads into the entrance hall, where wooden flooring extends underfoot and a contemporary glass and oak staircase ascends to the first-floor landing.

To the right, double oak doors open into the bright and airy lounge. Wooden flooring flows throughout, while French doors invite fresh air and effortless access to the garden in the summer months. Plantation shutters frame the windows, adding privacy and style. Spacious and inviting, with feature wallpaper, this is the perfect space to relax and unwind.

Refresh in the fully tiled cloakroom, equipped with a wash basin and WC, before exploring the utility room, which offers plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, along with ample storage for laundry essentials.

From the entrance hall, ascend the stairs to the first turn, where a door opens into the family kitchen-dining room. Bright and welcoming, the space features herringbone effect flooring and far-reaching views over the front garden and beyond. A stable door provides instant access to the elevated decking, a sunlit retreat with breathtaking views. The brand new well-equipped kitchen includes an integrated Neff fridge-freezer, Bosch dishwasher and wine fridge, quartz worktops with a 1.5 sink, Samsung SmartThings ovens with warming drawer and a Samsung induction hob with integrated extraction. A breakfast bar offers casual seating, while the dining area with booth seating, is ideal for entertaining.

From this space is a store room, formerly the garage, brimming with potential. Continuing up the staircase, the contemporary décor is evident throughout, with feature wallpaper, plush carpeting, and modern radiators in a soft dove-grey palette. Double oak doors lead into a generously sized bedroom, where wooden flooring extends underfoot and light floods in through large windows on two sides, framing woodland and countryside views.

Back on the landing, the family bathroom serves as a luxurious retreat, featuring dark grey sparkling tiling, a centrally filling deep bath with a retractable shower wand, a separate shower, a wash basin with vanity storage and a WC. Heated towel rails and alcove shelving provide convenient storage for linens and toiletries.

From the bathroom, five steps lead to the principal bedroom, where wooden flooring meets fitted wardrobes and a dressing table. Designed for ultimate comfort, the room easily accommodates a super king-size bed, while dual-aspect windows capture the surrounding countryside. The ensuite is elegantly finished with earthy-toned glossy tiling, a two-drawer wooden vanity unit with a wash basin, a WC, and a shower, complemented by a heated towel radiator.

Opposite, a fresh and contemporary bedroom features white wood laminate flooring underfoot. Currently serving as a home office and dressing room, this space also offers room for a double bed and wardrobes. Above, a hatch with a drop-down loft ladder leads to the attic, providing additional storage.

Returning to the main staircase, continue to the upper floor landing. To the left, a spacious bedroom currently serves as both a sleeping area and an office, offering ample room for a double bed and additional storage.

Next door, another great sized bedroom, adorned with monochrome floral wallpaper on the feature wall, provides scenic views over the garden, rolling countryside and out to Holcombe Hill. Step through into the adjoining dressing room, where a high, vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of space, and built-in wardrobes provide extensive storage.

The outdoor spaces at Turton House are designed for relaxation and entertainment. A decking area outside the kitchen offers the perfect spot for alfresco dining. Large, lush lawns extend to both the front and rear, providing open green spaces to enjoy. An elevated terrace at the rear serves as a peaceful vantage point, ideal for watching the world go by, whilst a gravel footpath winds through the gardens, meandering across the croquet lawn, adding a touch of leisurely charm.

Spend hazy summer days with family and friends as the sunsets, where to the rear, a converted cabin serves as a self-contained annexe, complete with tiled flooring, a kitchenette, a living-dining space and a pull-out sofa bed, the entire space warmed by a cosy log-burning stove.

Another outbuilding serves as a games room with room to relax and entertain, featuring a darts area and a bar, ideal for social gatherings. Behind a pergola shelters a luxurious hot tub, creating the perfect retreat for unwinding in nature.

At the bottom of the garden, a gentle stream flows through, a haven for wildlife and nature. The land continues beyond.
