Outside the grounds come to almost five acres, and are extremely private. A York terrace makes an ideal dining space for summer, while the pond provides a focal point with weeping ask trees at either end. The tennis court lies a short distance from the house, while a large post-and-rail paddock lies towards the rear of the house.
The Rookery Farm occupies a rural position with good countryside views on the edge of Wickhambrook, not far from the village of Ousden. Wickhambrook itself offers a primary school and village stores/post office, pub and a sports field as well as a health centre.
The guide price is £935,000. For further information please contact Jackson-Stops & Staff on 01638 662 231 or visit www.jackson-stops.co.uk.
