Description
Brushwood is a beautifully presented 5 bedroom property which has been the subject of extensive sympathetic restoration and extension since the mid 1970’s. In the last 5 years the property has been greatly enhanced and extended by the current owners to create a wonderful family house. While still retaining an abundance of character it offers generous living accommodation in a beautiful peaceful setting – a real hidden gem. A light and airy entrance hall, with woodburning stove, offers additional space to extensive accommodation. There is lovely sitting room with open fire and exposed beams which has a door to the study and opens out into an expansive dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room has a real ‘wow’ factor with a beautiful, fitted kitchen, large island unit and snug area and is perfect for accessing the garden through the fully glazed sliding doors. Off the kitchen is a utility room and WC cloakroom. The first floor has been completely remodelled and provides a newly formed principal bedroom with an impressive fitted en-suite bathroom with separate, walk-in shower and dressing room. A second double bedroom has an en-suite bathroom room/dressing room and there are 3 further bedrooms complemented by the family bathroom.

Outside
The property is approached over Greenham Common and entered via wooden electric double gates. There is a sizeable lawned garden that extends the recreation space and benefits from a drive, garage, shed and timber store. To the rear there is a southerly facing garden with expansive patio area overlooking the adjoining fields with a large, quality bespoke timber built summerhouse. A real feature of the property is the land which measures over 2 acres and is made up of part paddock land with a stable and beautiful woodland grazing.
