Brooks’ architecture is surprisingly bold for an English village house. Te thrillingly simple form of the house is two stacked rectangular slabs that sit at 90 degree angles to each other. Tis creates striking overhangs at both front and back. Other notable features include exposed steel beams, wood fascias, exposed brick and a structural steel staircase. Tere are original wood ceilings and doors throughout and original ceramic tiles on the ground foor. Te use of foor- to-ceiling glass allows for ample light to come into the house. Currently occupied by an architect, the house has been well maintained but could currently beneft from some updating.

Tiptree is a large thriving village that is perhaps best known as the home of the Wilkin & Sons jam company. Te village has a range of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as fve schools (both primary and secondary). Open green space is provided by the large area of Tiptree Heath. Te nearest train station is Kelvedon, which runs services to London Liverpool Street in approximately 45 minutes.
