Previous use
The original dwelling was part of Redbrook Brewery from 1826 to 1925. Following the demolition of the brewery, it reverted to a domestic house then a guest house followed by a small, family run, printing and publishing business.
Current use
The present owners have lived in Old Brewery House for ten years having moved from the south of England to work from their home.
Christine built up a successful year round Bed and Breakfast accommodation business to 5 star grading level and, after 7 years retired from this last year. So the time has come to make this unique home available to buyers looking to change their lifestyle and/or location.
Potential
Old Brewery House could be ideal for buyers looking for a versatile, character property offering business opportunities working from home, or a lovely family house with mixed generation accommodation or indeed a combination of uses.
There may be, as yet unexplored, potential to convert the annexe into a separate dwelling such as a two bedroom cottage.
The Red Brook is has been surveyed for a small scale Hydro System which, it is calculated, would provide Old Brewery House with free electricity.
