Description

This delightful 2 storey 5 bedroom property extends to approx. 2500sq ft of well-appointed living space on 5 acres, and has all the facilities you would require to train and develop competition horses to international level. This exceptionally private property has three post and railed paddocks and an all-weather sand arena. The floodlit 60m x 20m full size dressage arena offers a specialist ‘Equestrian Surfaces’ riding surface which is a combination of sand, rubber and plastic and is ideal for dressage and show jumping. It is an exceptionally well drained arena which is bounded by sleepers around a grass edging to a smart post and rail perimeter fence. In addition there is a cross country schooling area comprising 2-3ft training fences, banks, steps and ditches. There are six stables in all - three internal monarch stables in a large barn, and three external traditional stables with a practical wash area. There is also a large hay shed which currently houses a horse lorry and a workshop outbuilding with an overhead loft which could be used as an office or converted to a playroom/den. The yard is immaculate, offering good turning/parking space with landscaped flowerbeds, apple trees and an ideal space for a 4th paddock or horsewalker. Perfect for any form of equestrian development – sales prep, horse production, amateur competition training or commercial livery. The house is beautifully presented at the end of a tarmac, beech hedge lined avenue. In addition to the very characterful main reception room with open cast-iron fireplace and double door adjoined dining room, there is a cosy TV lounge alongside the well-appointed country kitchen. The utility room is designed to house and clean tack with a sink and drainer unit with a range of eye and base level units. Three of the bedrooms offer period antique fireplaces and original farmhouse doors. The sizeable master bedroom is particularly attractive, with a large en-suite shower room and walk in wardrobe. The house offers lots of natural light, traditional & neutral décor with wood features and is double-glazed throughout.
