Description

The Brewhouse is a wonderfully situated, substantial single-storey residence. Offering circa 1,500 sq ft, of flexible and immaculate accommodation, the house is set on a most idyllic and established 1 acre plot.

Formerly part of the 16th century ‘Watermans End Farmhouse’, The Brewhouse was sympathetically converted and well considered in its renovation 10 years ago for the current owner.

A charming open-plan drawing and dining room spanning almost 42 ft boasts a wonderful entertaining space with vaulted ceilings, inset wood burner and multiple doors giving access onto the stunning, south-facing terrace and formal gardens. High quality, light oak, one inch-thick flooring is laid in the entire open-plan areas and the bedrooms.

There are three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, one of which is en suite including a bath and separate shower. The other two bathrooms are adjacent to the remaining bedrooms. Bedroom three is currently utilised as a office/snug.
