Brook House surpasses all expectations of floor space and head height suggested by its quaint chocolate box façade. Purchased as a project, it has been meticulously restored and remodeled to create an attractive, practical, and contemporary living space that makes the most of its inglenook fireplace, beams, and vaulted ceilings. The two main living areas downstairs, the kitchen/dining room and the sitting room, enclose the courtyard garden on two sides. The 40ft kitchen and dining room boast vaulted, beamed ceilings, with slate tiles running the length. The kitchen is equipped with an electic array of warm wooden units, space for an Aga and fridge/freezer, and plumbing for a dishwasher.
