Description - Brockhurst Grange was originally part of the Weston Park Estate and was a traditional Estate Farmhouse with extensive outbuildings. The property was first sold by Bradford Estates at auction in 1975 and is believed to date from the late Nineteenth Century with a plaque on the gable of the property reading 1877. The property was privately purchased several years ago by the current sellers and it is therefore now the first time that the property has been on the open market for over 40 years. The property is located within open countryside with easy access to many bridleways making the house ideal for those with equestrian interests with a range of traditional brick and tile stables. In recent years the property has operated as a privately-run kennels and there are substantial outbuildings associated with this purpose.
