Brooklet Farm, Castle Donington

Originally converted circa 2000, The Old Appleyard is unrecognisable from its original working farm outbuildings. It is now a spacious and charming family home set over two floors with versatile living space. The property is tucked away from the road behind electric double gates and a shared driveway approach and has wonderful private gardens to the rear. A feature that will appeal to any prospective purchaser are the excellent transport links situated nearby with East Midlands airport being on the doorstep, convenient access to the M1 motorway and East Midlands Parkway train station also only a short distance away.

Double electric intercom controlled entrance gates open to the shared driveway approach passing by the barn and onwards to the detached double garage with its driveway to the fore.

A look inside will reveal to the ground floor a versatile family room which has its own front entrance door, further French double doors leading you to the rear gardens. Underfoot is an attractive stone tiled floor with striking feature timber beam set above, a lovely feature wall with revealed stonework and set off this room is a great sized WC/cloakroom. This reception room could make an ideal occasional annex bedroom if required. A latch cottage style doors takes you through into the expansive living room flooded with light through a large double height window which is set in the barns original entrance. A beautiful winding staircase leads to the galleried landing above and lying at the focal point of the room is a feature rustic brick built fireplace with beamed mantel above and an inset multi fuel stove. French double doors again take you out to the expansive full width patio area and gardens beyond. Double latch doors open to reveal a gorgeous contemporary open plan breakfast kitchen that has been recently updated with a range of base and wall mounted high gloss grey cabinets that run around two sides of the room with quartz countertops over and returns alongside an inset sink with mixer tap. A central matching breakfast island has room around for family meal times and attractive tiled flooring runs throughout the room. There are a range of integrated appliances in addition to space for a range style cooker. This room also has the benefit of its own entrance door to the front elevation and French double doors out to the patio.

Upstairs on the first floor is a lovely sized galleried landing with bedroom accommodation arranged around. The principal bedroom runs the full depth of the property, has dual aspect windows enjoying views over the gardens, a range of fitted wardrobes wrapping around the room with bedside cabinets, overbed storage and fitted chest of drawers. It also has its own private en suite shower room which has a large oversized quadrant shower cubicle with shower over, WC and a vanity unit with inset wash hand basin with storage below plus fitted mirror and vanity lighting above.
