LOCATION
Brooke House stands in the heart of Ipplepen, a highly regarded South Devon village perfectly placed between the market towns of Newton Abbot and Totnes. The village has a welcoming community and a good range of everyday amenities, including a convenience store, post office, primary school, churches, public house, medical centre, sports field, play park and village hall. Surrounded by attractive rolling countryside, Ipplepen offers an appealing blend of traditional village life and practical accessibility.

The village is well positioned for access to some of South Devon’s most desirable destinations, with Dartmoor National Park to the west, the English Riviera and Torbay coastline to the east, and the beaches, estuaries and sailing waters of the South Hams within easy reach. Newton Abbot and Totnes provide a wider range of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities, together with mainline railway stations offering services to London Paddington, while Exeter, Plymouth and the M5 can be reached via the A38 Devon Expressway.

THE PROPERTY
Brooke House is an impressive Grade II listed family home, discreetly positioned within the village and set in generous grounds of approximately 1.1 acres. The property also benefits from a striking detached studio/annexe and a useful range of additional outbuildings.

Inside, the main house offers well-arranged accommodation with a wealth of period features, including sash windows, shutters, French doors, feature fireplaces and original meat hooks in the scullery/pantry. The welcoming entrance hall leads to spacious, well-proportioned reception rooms, both with access to the gardens.

The large farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room is well suited to both family life and entertaining, centred around an Aga and complemented by a breakfast bar, window seat and ample space for a dining table. A utility room and boot room/store sit adjacent to the kitchen, while a study and two cloakrooms complete the ground floor accommodation.

A handsome staircase rises to a spacious first floor landing, from which there are six bedrooms, five of which are doubles, together with two bathrooms.

OUTSIDE
A particularly notable feature of Brooke House is the contemporary detached studio which was a renovation of an old building. Currently arranged with a kitchen, store room, cloakroom and an impressive open-plan studio space, it opens through sliding doors onto the landscaped terrace. Vaulted ceilings and excellent natural light create a bright, calm and versatile space. The studio could offer potential for conversion into additional living or bedroom accommodation.

Further outbuildings include a detached stone-built barn/garage with adjoining store rooms. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn around the house and include a kitchen garden, a partially walled south-facing lawn, a gravelled cut-flower garden and a greenhouse. To the front, a gravel driveway provides ample parking.
