Mumbleys Lane, Thornbury, Bristol, BS35.

Brook Farm is situated on a quiet country lane with excellent hacking, only 2 miles south of Thornbury. The private livery yard and three cottages have separate access and lie to the north, allowing the house and garden to be a separate entity.

The property was converted in 2000 by the present owner, from a range of stone and tiled farm outbuildings and barn. It is a stunning and clever conversion. The house is designed to resemble an old farmhouse, internally and externally, with many 'period' features. The interior has a warm and friendly atmosphere with light rooms, comfortable ceiling heights and has the charm of an old farmhouse. There are flagstone and wood floors, timber doors with wood lintels, window seats, exposed ceiling trusses and stone walls.

The staircase hall has an impressive central staircase which splits to two gallery landings, one leading to the principal bedroom and the other to three further bedrooms. The open plan sitting/dining room has a stone fireplace fitted with an ornate log burning stove and double doors open into the study. The bespoke kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with integrated appliances including a cooker and hob and a separate Rangemaster in an inglenook style fireplace. A French door opens out to the pretty garden and a wide square arch opens from the breakfast area out into the garden room.

The first floor has a gallery landing which leads to the principal bedroom suite with a dressing room and shower room. The dressing room could easily become a 5th bedroom if required. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Brook Farm is approached through a five bar gate on to a recently laid gravel drive, providing a generous parking area. The drive leads to a new oak framed triple car port. The very pretty south and west facing garden lies behind the house, overlooking it's land and is accessed from the garden room, breakfast area and sitting room. There is an expanse of lawn with deep shaped beds and borders planted with a variety of flowering and ornamental shrubs and spring bulbs. A Wisteria adorns part of the rear elevation and trees include Twisted Hazel and a Hungarian Oak, as well as climbing shrubs including Honeysuckle and Passion Fruit. In one corner there is raised decking and a paved area outside the rear elevation, both ideal areas for entertaining. There is also a garden store.

The Livery Yard
The yard is well-positioned for hacking out and there are bridleways leading to the Severn Estuary. Whilst currently run as a livery yard, there is scope for the yard to be run as a stud or competition yard.

This private and well-respected livery yard was established many years ago and has its own main access off Mumbleys Lane. It is an excellent example of a well-designed, structured yard, with ample parking and a separate enclosure designated for horse trailers and boxes.

The parking area gives access to two substantial steel framed, part concrete block stables, sectioned into four rows of seven stables, each with a dedicated tack area. There is also a former outbuilding that housed the dairy cows when used as a farm and now provides useful storage or the potential for further stables.

Behind is an excellent 80 x 60 ft steel framed modern agricultural building, part opened fronted with a mezzanine level and office. Bedside is an all-weather floodlit arena.

The Land
The land is currently divided into 30 separate paddocks and lies to the north, east and south, surrounding the house, with access to water. The majority of paddocks are enclosed by post and rail and the land is contained within a ring fence. Illuminated walkways between the paddocks allow for easy access. The main approach is off Mumbleys Lane with an alternative approach at the southern end of the property off the same lane.

There are no footpaths crossing over the land.
