Oakwood House is a handsome detached family home which has recently undergone a program of renovations and updates including the addition of a kitchen, bathroom and fitted wardrobes from Court Homemakers. Set in the private grounds of the magnificent Grade I Listed Brough Hall, the property offers four bedrooms and five reception rooms, with attractive styling and high-quality fittings throughout and the potential subject to planning to extend the accommodation into the loft space.

The welcoming reception hall features a central staircase leading to a spacious galleried landing above, as well as doors to the ground-floor reception rooms. These include a comfortable sitting room with a fireplace and a useful study with built-in shelving and desk space at the front of the property. Also, a well-proportioned family room with a dual aspect including two sets of French doors opening onto the rear garden. Adjoining the family room is the formal dining room, which has double doors leading to the light, airy conservatory overlooking the west-facing rear garden. Adjoining the kitchen is a breakfast room for informal dining, while the kitchen itself has shaker-style units to base and wall level, as well as integrated appliances.

Upstairs, the galleried landing provides access to the well-presented double bedrooms, two of which are en suite including the principal bedroom, which also has its own dressing area. A further two bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, while the first floor also has a family bathroom with a separate shower unit.
