Hereford Road, Monmouth

Entrance halls don't come much more dramatic than the one at Brooklands.

Beautifully lit by a tall, three-part bay window, it serves as a conduit to most of the main rooms and the beautiful staircase to the floor above. The wooden floors and steps in this split-level area contribute to a sense of elegance and style that follows through the rest of the house.

To the left of the hall is a generous drawing room with an east-facing bay window overlooking the garden and more windows providing a view of a terrace. This light and airy space has a polished stone fireplace, black hearth and multi-burner.

There's a sitting room/snug with a wooden floor and plenty of room for seating, making it perfect for family evenings watching the television or playing board games.

Steps lead from the hallway into the dining room, a refined space with glass and wood-panelled French doors providing a lovely view of the garden.

Adjoining it is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room that's undoubtedly the heart of the home and a wonderful location for family life and

entertaining. A west-facing picture window and charming bay window flood this area with light and the ceramic tile floor is durable and

elegant. The kitchen is fitted with luxury Hacker cabinetry from Germany, with dove grey-panelled fronts and polished granite worktops.

These are complemented by a glass-fronted dresser with a built-in wine rack.

There's a peninsula bar and central island unit housing a double-bowled stainless steel sink with an extendable mixer tap, alongside a Siemens fivering induction hob.

Siemens double ovens and a grill, along with a microwave and coffee machine, an integrated fridge and freezer, a fully shelved pantry cupboard and a built in dishwasher, complete the line-up.

Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room and a passageway leads to a further reception room with stairs leading to a bedroom or office. Close by is a WC, one of two on this floor.

The main staircase rising from the hallway leads to a luxurious master bedroom suite, with a dressing room and elegant en suite with a bath and shower.

Two large windows ensure this space is flooded with light.

Of the four other bedrooms, two have en suites. There an elegant family bathroom with a bath and shower and the galleried landing has a walk in airing cupboard.

The self-contained annexe, which has a similar appearance to the main house, has a ground floor kitchen/living room with a WC and shower and a large first floor bedroom.

Brooklands was built to a high standard, with cavity walls finished in hand-crafted bricks, and has since been tastefully remodelled throughout using high quality fixtures, fittings and finishes that blend timeless design with modern luxury. The house has double glazed hardwood windows, mostly natural oak panelled interior doors and, in many rooms, low voltage downlighters. The central heating is run from mains gas.

There are sculpted lawns and well-stocked flower and rose beds, along with mature shrubs and a well established hedgerow interspersed with trees that combine to provide effective screening.

A unique split-level stone sun terrace nestles beneath the first floor on the south side of the house, offering a sheltered outdoor space for entertaining or quiet relaxation.

The gently sloping, low-maintenance garden to the rear of the house has additional paving, a variety of shrubs and a pathway leading to a concrete base suitable for a greenhouse, outbuilding or vegetable garden.
