Brooks, Welshpool, SY21

The farmhouse enjoys an elevated position sitting above its own land and being south east facing, the house is surrounded by gardens providing a combination of lawns and mature shrub beds and trees. To the south and west of the farmhouse are the farm buildings, which are set close enough to be convenient without impacting on the houses privacy or aspect.

The farmhouse is entered through the front door on the south eastern elevation, which leads into the downstairs hallway with doors to the two reception rooms, family bathroom and stairs to the first floor. The drawing room provides a well proportioned living space with door through to the kitchen and adjoining larder. The sitting room offers a comfortable room with feature fireplace and wood burner. The family bathroom is accessed from the hall.

To the first floor are three good size double bedrooms, two further generous single bedrooms and a dressing room. The first floor rooms in particular benefit from far reaching views over the spectacular countryside around the property.

The property would benefit from upgrading throughout and offers scope for extension and re-modelling, subject to planning consent.

It provides the potential to create a truly exceptional family home in a private location.

The farm buildings are located to the south and south west of the farmhouse and comprise an
L-shaped range of traditional farm buildings and three modern farm buildings. The traditional buildings comprise a two storey brick and timber clad building under a slate roof, which is adjoined by an L-shaped single storey brick and timber clad building under a slate roof. Completing the range is a further two storey brick and timber clad building under a slate roof.

To the west of the traditional buildings are two modern farm buildings comprising a steel frame open fronted 5-bay shed with hard-core floor and corrugated iron cladding and roof. Attached to the west of this is a steel frame lean-to with block walls, box profile cladding under a fibre cement roof with concrete floor providing livestock housing. Beyond this is a further steel portal frame 5-bay modern farm building with block walls and Yorkshire boarding under a fibre cement roof, internally the building has concrete floors with central feed passage and livestock pens to either side.

To the south east of the farmhouse is a further 2-bay steel frame building with sliding doors to one elevation and block walls under corrugated iron cladding to the other elevations, under a fibre cement sheet roof. Internally there is a concrete floor with vehicle inspection pit. This building is currently let on a short term licence to a mechanic.

The farm buildings are utilised for agricultural purposes, however, with the correct permissions they could provide scope for a range of alternative uses.

The land surrounds the farmhouse, with the majority of the land lying to the south, south east and south west and comprises predominantly Grade 3a and 3b, and some Grade 4 pasture land extending to about 123 acres. The land is well served for access, with a central farm track providing good connection back to the farmhouse and buildings as well as to the public road.

The land enjoys a pleasant aspect, with much of it being south facing productive pasture land and areas of permanent pasture. The fields are well sized for modern farming practices and some are capable of being ploughed and cropped in rotation. The farmland is currently all in grass and is grazed by local farmers on short term grazing agreements.

The undulating nature of the land, with mature hedgerows and stands of trees creates a truly private and traditional feel, without detracting from its capability as a productive block of agricultural ground. The woodland extends to about 5 acres comprising mainly mature broadleaf trees.

There is an additional area of land and traditional farm building extending to about 10 acres adjoining the property which may be available to purchase by separate negotiation.
