Description

Kitchengreen is a fantastic property combining period cottage with modern villa. The original part of the house dates from the early 1900's and was added to in 2002 to form the existing accommodation. Constructed primarily of stone under a slate roof the property has a great deal of character and is deceptively large at 2500 sq ft. Internally the property again combines country living with modern comfort. An open fireplace in the sitting room provides the warmth and comfort required for rural life whilst the open plan kitchen, dining area and family room offers space and practicality. Kitchengreen offers flexible space for entertaining as well as good quality family accommodation. A generous garden with lawn, bedded areas and fruit trees extends around the property adding to the special properties Kitchengreen has to offer.

Whilst the house itself is outstanding, the equestrian facilities do steal the limelight. On offer are indoor and outdoor arenas, both with a sand base, as well as a superb stable block with five loose boxes, tack room, hay store and general purpose store and a total of 10 acres of grazing.
