OFFERS INVITED BETWEEN ?1,000,000 TO ?1,100,000.

Introduction - An exceptional period residence set within approximately 1.3 acres of beautiful grounds, enjoying commanding views across Brough Golf Course, occupying one of the area's most sought-after locations. Originally constructed in the late 1920s and more recently extended, this delightful home affords an abundance of character and generous proportions, being thoughtfully positioned within its plot to make the most of its south-westerly aspect across the gardens and golf course beyond. The classic layout provides excellent scope for sympathetic remodelling into a more contemporary design, presenting an opportunity to further enhance both lifestyle and value.

The accommodation, as illustrated on the accompanying floor plan, briefly comprises four reception rooms and upto seven or eight bedrooms arranged over the upper two floors, complemented by practical ground-floor amenities including cloakrooms, a utility room and a boiler room. Externally, the property enjoys a wide frontage to Sands Lane, screened by mature beech hedging, with two separate driveways-one leading to the front of the house and garage, and the other providing additional parking and access to a carport.

The grounds extend to approximately 1.3 acres, bordered on two sides by the 11th hole of the golf course, and features sweeping lawns interspersed with mature shrubs, hedges and trees, creating a private and idyllic setting. A substantial paved terrace wraps around the rear of the house, ideal for outdoor entertaining or relaxation, which overlooks a hard-surface tennis court. This unique property has not transacted for over 50 years and is therefore a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual home of considerable appeal in an exclusive setting.
