The property of the day is a stunning £2.15 million home in Brimscombe.

This beautiful Georgian house occupies a truly stunning treetop position with complete privacy, wonderful views and exacting accommodation. Accessed down a long driveway the house is surrounded by its own land and offers a wonderful life/work balance with a large and welcoming house, established office/studio and a two storey cottage - ripe for conversion.

The original building is believed to date from the 17th Century with the majority of the house added in the 18th Century and displays a wonderful array of Georgian features and architecture. The two eras combine beautifully and are now seamlessly linked with a stunning interior complete with handmade fittings. As the house is not listed – allowing the owners to modernise the layout as well as the finish and all the principal rooms are well proportioned with a good flow and excellent access to the outside, a key feature of this house.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of handmade wooden units, complimented with a granite worktop. It is fully integrated with appliances and has a 4 oven gas AGA as well as summer cooking facilities and a large island with breakfast bar. There is a large utility room/boot room. The Shaker style kitchen is open through to the dining room and in turn onto one of the many terraces and then the garden. The triple aspect drawing room is a superb room. It was further extended in more modern times and displays an incredible picture window from which to enjoy the fine view. There are five sets of double Crittall doors all of which lead onto the terraced gardens offering a charming in/out style of living. The adjacent sitting room, again a double aspect room provides a more intimate and cosy snug or tv room.
