Bardfield Road, Bardfield Saling, Braintree, CM7

Brook House is an attractive double fronted period residence set within approximately five acres in a delightful rural position, enjoying open views across surrounding farmland and a wonderful sense of privacy.

The property offers generous and well balanced accommodation arranged over two floors, extending to approximately 2,700 sq ft including outbuildings. While the house would now benefit from updating, it retains a wealth of character including sash style windows, fireplaces, high ceilings and well proportioned reception rooms.

The ground floor provides multiple reception rooms including a dual aspect sitting room with log burner, formal dining room and separate study. The kitchen is positioned to the rear with access to a boot room and utility, offering practical day to day functionality.

To the first floor are four well proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, many enjoying attractive views across the gardens and open countryside.

A substantial basement cellar provides additional storage and houses the private well supplying the property.

Gardens and Land
The grounds are a particular feature of Brook House.

Immediately surrounding the house are established lawned gardens with mature trees, hedged boundaries, greenhouse, pond and patio areas. The setting offers complete tranquillity with far reaching views across open fields.

Beyond the formal gardens lie paddocks and open grassland, making the property ideally suited for equestrian use, smallholding interests or those simply seeking space and privacy.

In total the grounds extend to approximately five acres.

Outbuildings and Yard
The property benefits from a range of traditional outbuildings including a detached timber barn with loft storage, additional brick and flint outbuildings and a yard area providing parking and turning space.

Subject to the necessary planning permissions, there may be potential for conversion of the barn to ancillary accommodation.
