This stunning equestrian home enjoys a beautiful approach, set behind mature trees, with a generous driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, well-maintained front lawn gardens, borders of trees, flowers and shrubs, and grape vines that cover the single storey extension to the side of the main house, which produce fruit in the late summer. Upon stepping inside, the entrance hallway is bright and welcoming, offering space for furniture, carpets, stairs to the first floor, and access through to the downstairs living space, including a cloakroom WC and a large study space.

The kitchen/breakfast room is an excellent size and enjoys windows and double French doors to a dual aspect, a range of base and wall units, wood worktops, tiled flooring and splashbacks, inset lighting, an oil-fired AGA, an integrated oven, hob and extractor fan, and space for a breakfast setting and other kitchen appliances. The utility room provides further storage, space for large laundry appliances, and could be used as a 5th bedroom, family room or playroom, or even as a self-contained annexe or office space if desired with its close proximity to the kitchenette/study.

The sitting room is a wonderfully bright and comfortable space, enjoying a large bay window to a front aspect, an open fire with a brick surround, plush carpets, sconce lighting and ample space for a variety of seating and storage furniture. The dining room is equally very bright, with windows and double sliding doors to a triple aspect, carpets, pendant lighting and room for furniture.

Upstairs to the first floor, this wonderful property continues to impress, with 4 well-proportioned bedrooms, lots of integrated storage, and a family bathroom with a separate WC.

Outside, there is a large terrace area that surrounds the rear of the property, fully enclosed by walls and fencing, ensuring a safe space for children and pets. The main outdoor sitting area is sheltered by a pergola, covered in mature trees and vines, and to the rear of the house, there is further space for additional seating and dining.

The equestrian facilities belonging to this lovely property are accessed via the garden or the separate entrance along the road - ideal for heavy deliveries or horse box entry. There are 9 stables, with 5 in the main block and 2 further blocks with 2 stables each. There is also a useful tack room with a kitchenette and plenty of storage. The large arena was constructed by Charles Britton Equestrian Construction, known as one of the premier designers for equestrian facilities, and the stable yard provides access to the fenced paddocks, which enjoy water and electricity via a field energiser. There is further paddock land and private bridle paths that run the perimeter of the grounds, perfect for exercising horses without leaving the property.
