Brook Croft is a detached property in a rural setting at Sampford Spiney in the Dartmoor National Park. The property was previously used as the Womens Institute hall for Horrabridge before being converted and extended, with the current owners having made some incredible improvements to the gardens and even opening them up to the public to raise money for charity.
You enter via double gates to a covered veranda into a vestibule, then through to the main hallway which is L-shaped. The sitting room is to the right and is a great size room with a woodburner and double aspect windows allowing plenty of light. Next is the kitchen/diner/family room which is big enough for a lounge area and a dining table and has fitted units with a range cooker. A doorway leads out into a spacious conservatory overlooking the garden with a further door leading into a utility room then into a library/bedroom four. There is also a staircase here which leads up to bedroom three and a shower room, so this area could be used as an annex, as it has its own entrance as well. Back in the main part of the house there are two double bedrooms, both with a good amount of fitted storage and a large family bathroom with a four piece suite. What was the garage, has been converted into a gym/office and this also has a staircase leading up to a first floor lobby for more storage.
As mentioned previously the gardens are nothing short of spectacular, with a rich array of interesting plants, trees and shrubs. There are numerous areas to explore via a collection of paths including a formal garden, a shade garden with nature pond and veranda, fruit cage and seating area with summerhouse. Tucked away in the corner is an artists studio with a tool shed with various other sheds for storage. The front garden also has a lovely sheltered seating area with plenty of mature shrubs bordering the gravelled driveway.
