Brook House Meadow View Wem SY4 5TJ

BROOK HOUSE Brook House is a substantial and immaculately presented, large family home that forms part of an exclusive gated development of just three executive properties. The house was beautifully designed and built in 2003 and was purchased by the current owners just two years later. It offered us the combination of all the space we could possibly require inside and out, private location, excellent schooling and local amenities, yet easy access by road and rail from Wem to cities and international airports for business or pleasure.

The property is approached over a gated private drive with electronically operated main entrance gates and side service gate. The tarmac drive flows along to Brook House offering a wonderful private feel. There is parking for five cars and a double garage. The front garden is laid to lawn, with a multi-coloured array of hydrangeas and seating area to soak up the morning sun. This extremely attractive property has a wooden portico framing the front door, with partially stained glass panels and matching stained glass windows either side.

We would have to flip a coin between our moody, baronial style Scottish room with tartan footstool and stag antlers, or the lighter south facing Asian room, with artefacts from Japan and Chinese inspired furniture.

The oak staircase then climbs to the second floor Bedroom five - This area runs the whole length of the property and is a gigantic space, with side windows, skylights and sloping ceilings all adding to the quirky feel. The current owners have divided the area for bedroom, home office and there is oodles of space to add a free standing or ensuite bathroom. This level would make a fantastic master suite.
