5 bed detached house for sale

Brook Farm House, Jennings Lane, Harwell OX11

A beautifully presented substantial Yeomans farmhouse originally dating from the late 16th century and listed Grade II offering spacious family sized accommodation over three floors in a quiet yet central location within this popular and pretty village.

Brook Farm House offers unspoilt character accommodation that has been skillfully enlarged to provide versatile family friendly spaces with an impressive open plan kitchen and dining space, a large beamed sitting room with Inglenook fireplace, study area and five bedrooms, to include a most impressive second floor room complete with mezzanine with potential for a further en-suite bathroom, if desired.

The house enjoys a wealth of character features typical of the period including large Inglenook fireplaces, exposed timbers (natural finish) and latch doors, yet offers surprisingly generous ceiling heights together with unusually bright and light accommodation that is rarely seen in a house of this period.

There is a pretty and generous west facing garden at the rear of the house bordered by a brook complete with a summerhouse/home office.

Jennings Lane is a quiet lane in the heart of the village and is made up of a variety of individual period and more contemporary properties.
