Bright & Airy Interior:
As you step inside the main residence, you're greeted by a spacious living room to your right, seamlessly leading to an open plan dining area, and a well-appointed and generously sized kitchen. This central space is bathed in natural light and enjoys easy outdoor access, courtesy of French doors. The open plan layout, coupled with the indoor-outdoor flow, creates the perfect atmosphere for gatherings or dinner parties. Adjacent to the kitchen, a convenient utility room offers a practical space for amenities.
The sleeping quarters comprise four ample bedrooms, offering plenty of space for your family or guests. As an added bonus, the main residence has been extended with an annexe, boasting an additional bedroom with en suite shower room, a kitchen/living room, and a conservatory. This is a great opportunity to unleash your creative vision and convert the annexe into any dedicated space to suit your needs, whether it's a home office, a games room or a library.
The Beautifully Maintained Exterior:
Further elevating the allure of this wonderful property is its exterior, which seamlessly blends functionality with natural beauty. The property benefits from two individual access points, each leading to a private driveway- one extending to the main residence and a triple garage building with workshop and a separate space currently used as a gym, the other to the equestrian facilities, providing easy entry and parking for horseboxes and vehicles.
As you venture further, you'll discover a number of unique botanical features. Surrounding the estate are immaculately manicured gardens, embellished with beautiful ornamental trees, including horse chestnut, apple, and cherry trees. To the rear, there's a hidden treasure- a lawned garden to the rear with pathway leading to a large natural pond with waterfall feature, surrounded by plants and trees. This secluded sanctuary adds a touch of serenity to the property, inviting you to escape to a private retreat within your own home.
Equestrian Paradise:
There is an excellent range of equestrian facilities on-site, tailored to meet the diverse needs of both riders and their equine companions, such as:
A large multi-use barn with two storage areas, offering ample space for storage and equipment.
A separate shed once used as dog kennels presently used for storage and yard utility room.
A stable block with three large loose boxes, two tack rooms and a wash box (which has been used as an additional loose box), ensuring the utmost comfort and care for your horses.
A manège measuring approximately 45m x 28m, with silica sand and rubber surface, and post and rail fencing, a premium environment for training.
A thoughtfully laid-out track system.
In addition to the outstanding facilities within the property, the location is superb for those who enjoy attending equestrian events or competing, with several fantastic venues within a 40-minute radius:
