Brunslow, Lydbury North, Bishops Castle

Description
Brunslow Farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial residence, set in approximately 4.37 acres, with commanding views of the surrounding countryside. The original building has origins back to the 1600's, before a significant front extension was added in the 1930's creating the attractive house that, up until recent years, was a thriving bed and breakfast.

The farmhouse is not lacking in character including flagstone floors, exposed ceiling beams, a grand oak staircase and a timber panelled reception room. Several storage rooms, to the rear of the property, form part of the original living quarters but now offer a fantastic opportunity to be converted into an annexe or could even be incorporated within the current property's footprint, due to their access to the ground and first floor.

Accommodation is briefly comprises an entrance hallway, reception room, living room/dining room, kitchen diner, study, downstairs cloakroom and boot room, cellars, five double bedrooms, three ensuites and a family shower room. Additional rooms to the rear include three storage rooms, a large pantry and a boiler room.

The property has been well maintained through its current ownership, however modernisation is required throughout the property. There is uPVC double glazing to the front of the property with part single glazing to the rest, an oil-fired central heating system and a mains connected fire alarm system. Mains water is available (connection required) and the property requires a new form of private drainage.
