Brockhall, Northamptonshire, NN7

A SPLENDID FAMILY HOME OCCUPYING A WONDERFUL PARKLAND SETTING NESTLED IN GARDENS AND GROUNDS OF AROUND THREE QUARTERS OF AN ACRE. The Old Dairy is a splendid family home occupying a wonderful parkland setting nestled in gardens and grounds of around three quarters of an acre to the western edge of the village. Built of stone with a tiled roof and as the name suggests, was the old dairy to Brockhall Hall. The current owners have resided at the property for the past 35 years or so with The Old Dairy offering a rare opportunity to acquire a picturesque property occupying a wonderful semi rural position in this wonderful conservation and former estate village. While offering well maintained and good proportioned living accommodation, the property does now offer potential for further modernisation and improvement with existing possibilities to create further living accommodation within the large attic area subject to gaining the necessary building and planning consents. An inspection is recommended in order to fully appreciate the layout, size and situation of accommodation on offer. On the ground floor a main entrance hall provides access to the principal reception rooms which include a sitting room with a lovely large feature bay window and window seat, dual aspect and open fireplace with decorative mantle surround. There is also a family room with feature fireplace and double doors which lead to the courtyard area together with a separate dining room with former inglenook style fireplace and door providing access to the cellar. Accessed from the dining room there is a kitchen/breakfast room comprising a range of fitted limed oak base and eye level units, twin sink unit set to work surfaces and built-in appliances to include an electric oven, four plate gas hob with extractor above and a dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen/breakfast room there is a second hallway with cloakroom off with doors providing access to the courtyard, a utility room and a spacious office/studio room. Adjacent to the studio/office room there is a connecting barn/games room, also with doorway access to the courtyard area. On the first floor a principal landing area provides access to four double bedrooms which include a main bedroom suite with dressing room and en suite shower room. There is also a three piece family bathroom suite and concealed door which we are informed provides access to a spacious attic area. OUTSIDE The Old Dairy is approached through a wooden five bar gate which in turn affords access to its own driveway which leads to a large enclosed courtyard area providing off road parking for a number of vehicles. Within the courtyard there is an open three car garage/carport with adjoining stores which were believed to be former stables and store areas. Beyond the enclosed courtyard area there is a further gravelled area providing additional off road parking. The gardens and grounds are a notable feature of The Old Dairy abutting parkland and estate land. The gardens and grounds form a wonderful setting to the property with formal, wild and landscaped garden areas which are largely laid to lawn with established specimen trees, fruit trees and well stocked flowers and shrubs borders.
