BRAMPTON HOUSE
“It was 2002 and Brampton House was one of ten new properties set in an exclusive development within the National Forest. We were hugely impressed with the high-quality specification and individual design, and we loved the views over open countryside, as well as the look and feel of the village,� recall the current owners.

Accommodation Brampton House is a modern detached executive property, tucked away at the end of a cul de sac, and offering nearly 4,000 sq. ft. of luxurious accommodation resulting in a stunning family home, where entertaining would be effortlessly enjoyable. The home has a most welcoming entrance via a newly built, spacious glass fronted porch, with underfloor heating which in turn leads to an elegant central entrance hall, where the turned wooden staircase to the first floor can be seen. There is excellent reception space throughout the home. There are glazed double doors leading through to the Drawing Room which is a refined principal reception room. There are French doors opening onto the garden patio allowing the room to be flooded with natural light and there is a feature inglenook brick fireplace with inset gas fire. To the rear of the home is the sitting room which is a lovely, comfortable room with an abundance of natural light via the French doors, which lead outside to the patio area and offer views over the expansive gardens. Further to this is a well-proportioned Dining Room. An elegant room for entertaining which also has double glass paneled doors leading from the central entrance hall and a view of the courtyard garden. In addition there is a Family Room which makes a great day room which also has French doors opening out onto the Courtyard gardens and this leads into the well-appointed breakfast kitchen which comprises fitted base and wall units and a ceramic tiled floor. Included is a Britannia six hob gas range, with double oven and there is a fitted Siemens dishwasher, two integrated fridges and an integral freezer. There is plenty of room for a breakfast table and the kitchen further benefits from a feature gas-fired burner making a real cosy space. From the kitchen you then can access the utility room, featuring an integrated washing/dryer machine, gas fired boiler and this room leads out to the side garden and Courtyard garden beyond, and onto a lovely tranquil spinney. For those looking to reconfigure the accommodation there is the option of removing internal walls and combining the kitchen, utility room, family room and dining into one magnificent open plan space and a guide price, based upon similar work carried out on a property on Weaverlake Drive, is available on request. This would create a space, in the region of 600 sq. ft. and provide a great blank canvass for buyers to develop to meet their individual needs.

SELLER INSIGHT It’s hard to know where to begin when listing the positives about living here. We enjoy being part of various community events, including the annual Village Fete which is a joyous occasion where the community comes together to raise funds for the benefit of organisations and clubs within our village. The village hall hosts many clubs and social functions, such as the camera club, WI, badminton, keep fit, Cubs, Scouts, concerts, The Community Christmas Tea Party, art group and many more. The church is used as a venue to host the Coffee and Toast, Neighbourly Natters and Men’s Breakfast groups and we’re proud to be part of an initiative to create Yoxall as a Dementia Friendly Community.” “We enjoy spending time in the garden which is tranquil and private with beautiful views over open countryside. It’s designed as a series of “rooms” which includes the orchard, wild area, gazebo, herbaceous borders, woodland and, our favourite spot, the Courtyard Garden. The patio areas are ideal for entertaining and there’s always something of interest to catch our eye, such as the buzzards soaring overhead and the owls, green woodpeckers, rabbits and squirrels.” “It’s hard to choose just one favourite room as we love them all! From playing the piano in the drawing room to relaxing in the sitting room with the sun flooding in through the patio doors, there’s something to appreciate in every room. Our family (all 18 of them) insist in congregating in the kitchen and snug for family celebrations and our guests can relax in their self-contained bedroom, en suite and dressing area.” “We enjoy complete privacy living here but we also have the advantage of living on a development of just ten properties where we are part of a friendly, little community. The location is ideal as Yoxall is fortunate to be within a short drive of historic Lichfield with its cathedral, theatre, museums, festivals, U3A, and trains direct to London and Birmingham. The National Memorial Arboretum, Red Carpet Cinema and Barton Marina are all easily accessible, as is St George’s FA centre where we are members of the health club and visit several times a week,” conclude the current owners.*
