From the family

“The privacy and security of living in this beautiful estate is paramount. Being set back 250 metres from the main road, it is a hidden gem. My dog can be walked for miles from my own garden, never having to go near a road. There is no traffic noise and a 30 minute walk will take you to the centre of Brookmans village.”
