distance of the parish church, highly regarded primary school, doctor's surgery and a superb pub/restaurant.

Brook House, Vicarage Lane, Bunbury, CW6 9PE

The property has a distinctive appearance, typical of its

time and dating originally back to 1888. Through the

years the property has been tastefully modernised and

extended so as to create a first class family home that is

light, spacious and versatile. The present owners have

further developed the property by virtue of a high quality

single storey outbuilding that incorporates a large garage,

store rooms and a fabulous one bedroom, one bathroom

annexe. The gardens and grounds extend to 0.617 acres

in total.

Internally the accommodation at ground floor level offers

characterful and appealing accommodation that can be

utilised in a number of different ways to suit individual

requirements. The living room has two large windows

enjoying fabulous open views and the room has a fireplace

as its primary focal point. The sitting room is located on

the opposite side of the house and again is very versatile

and this in turn leads to a most recent addition to the

house which is a single storey garden room, has bi-fold

oak framed doors leading to the outside.

Along the back of the house runs an open plan

kitchen/dining/family room area. Whilst the kitchen is of a

traditional country style and the flooring original to the

house, the overall open plan space is perfect for that of a

modern day family seeking an area which can be classified

as the heart of the home. There are aspects to two sides

in this area and numerous features of note include original

floor to ceiling cupboards and a Cheshire brick fireplace

with open grate. Completing the accommodation at

ground floor level is a rear hall with cloakroom and utility

room.

At first floor level the accommodation continues to

impress with the three bedrooms all being of an excellent

double proportion and the master bedroom having a

superb fully tiled limestone en-suite bathroom. There is

also a family bathroom with cloakroom off and both of

these rooms have been upgraded in recent times with

excellent contemporary fitments and the same limestone

that is enjoyed in the en-suite bathroom.

Externally there are also many areas in which the house

excels. The first thing to note is the wide and generously

proportioned driveway which provides ample off road

parking and turning space for several vehicles. The

gardens and grounds run to the front, rear and particularly

the sides with the principal area of garden being south-

west facing. Beyond the formal gardens there is a useful

paddock.

The high quality outbuilding is worthy of particular praise.

Having been completely reorganised and developed by the

present owners, the building comprises a large double

garage with power and light connection, two external

stores, a cloakroom and most importantly a fantastic one

bedroom, one bathroom annexe. The annexe can be

utilised in a number of different ways with the obvious use

being for that of a dependent relative and or a child

returning from university. Alternatively it could be a

superb home office, general rumpus room or art

studio/therapy room. It is fitted with a good

contemporary specification that includes an attractive

kitchen, a large double bedroom and an en-suite

bathroom.

Combining the best parts of Bunbury's rural beauty with

the fantastic convenience of its extensive day to day

amenities, this superb family home is a welcome addition

to the market, offered with no ongoing chain and priced at

a realistic level that is sure to attract significant market

attention.
