A comfortable 4 bed roomed family house on the edge of the village retaining many
original character features

Brooklands is an attractive four bed roomed house with original fireplaces believed to
date back to the sixteenth century and having been considerably extended and altered
during the Victorian period. It adjoins its former barn to the rear which is now a
separate dwelling. The property has been in the ownership of the vendors for thirty
years during which period they have carried out considerable modernisation including
LP gas fired Aga and central heating with supplementary solar hot water system and
double glazing. The property also benefits from sunny and secluded garden areas
backing onto a small stream and looking towards the old motte and bailey. There are
many interesting internal character features that make this an exceptional family
home, or ideal for someone wishing to work from home.
