A quintessential and picturesque 18th century house, occupying an idyllic setting within beautiful, landscaped gardens, in this highly regarded and unspoilt west Cambridgeshire village.
Cambridge 4 miles (King's Cross 52 minutes and Liverpool Street 68 minutes), M11 (Junction 13 - south only) 2 miles (distances and times are approximate).
Brook House is Grade II listed being of architectural or historical interest and is described within the English Heritage listing as originally being a row of 4 cottages dating from the 18th century. The property has been extensively altered, extended and refurbished over the years to create an exceptional family house which successfully combines modern living with the charm and character of the original historic building. The house has a particularly bright and airy feel throughout and the extensive accommodation provides tremendous versatility suitable for a variety of family needs.
The house is set well back from the road with stunning gardens and grounds. The front garden has a number of fine mature trees, large area of lawn, well stocked flower and shrub beds and an extensive 'in and out' gravelled driveway leads to a detached double Garage with up-and-over doors, power, light, sink with range of base cabinets to the rear and access door to the garden. Independent access from the rear of the Garage, leads to the Annexe with Sitting/Bedroom, Kitchen and Shower Room. The annexe's plumbing is currently not operational and repairs will be required.
Gated side access leads to the landscaped rear gardens, which are a particular feature of the property. Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature boundaries, the garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and seclusion. Adjoining the rear of the house is a paved terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, with a pathway leading to a useful brick-built outbuilding. A box hedge separates this area from the rear of the Garage/Annexe, where a further terrace and gravelled seating area provide additional space for relaxation. A further detached outbuilding, currently used as a playroom and measuring 21' x 11'2" (6.4m x 3.4m), is situated within the garden, together with a timber storage shed.
