Brook Farm comprises a period farmhouse dating back to 1840 and retaining many period features, along with an excellent range of traditional farm buildings, two modern buildings, grazing land and brook frontage, about 14.23 acres in all, with wonderful views.

Ground Floor
A central reception hall gives access to a large drawing room with a stone fireplace and Clearview woodburner, and a dining room with a fireplace with fire grate; both rooms have excellent views to the south. Also accessed from the hallway is the cellar, a cloakroom and guest WC.

The kitchen has a large window overlooking the yard to the north of the house. There is a tiled floor and a range of floor and wall mounted units with granite work surfaces. Integrated appliances include an electric oven and hob. There are exposed ceiling beams, and an electric Rayburn range set beneath a heavy bressimer. A doorway leads to a utility room and to a pantry, with stone thrawl. There may be potential to convert additional accommodation within this section of the building which is linked to the house in order to create a large open-plan living-dining kitchen space which in turn could provide access to additional sleeping accommodation, leisure space or home office space. Any conversion work/change of use would be subject to the necessary consents.

First and Second Floor
The master bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes, and fireplace with fire grate, and an en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, and a large family bathroom. On the second floor are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, one currently used as a study, and one as a sitting room, along with a shower room with WC, and a small kitchenette area. All of the bedrooms have excellent views.

Outside
The garden area immediately surrounding the farmhouse is mainly laid to lawn, with hardstanding within a parking area on the north side of the house. There is a vegetable garden and orchard area to the north of the house. The main courtyard of buildings are attached on the east side of the house.

Buildings
The buildings offer exciting potential to be put to a wide range of uses subject to the necessary consents. See the buildings table for further details.

Land
Wrapped around the farmstead are approximately 13.34 acres of well-maintained grazing land with a number of small spinneys. The grazing land is divided into five main enclosures and provides grazing for stock or land for hay or haylage to support use of the property, or potentially produce an income.

The property has brook frontage to Cubley Brook which runs along its western boundary; the title for the property states that half of the width of the brook is included.

In all the property extends to about 14.23 acres.
