Description

Equestrian Facilities & Land

This property is perfectly equipped for equestrian use. A large, modern barn houses six generous stalls and includes power and water connections. Across the courtyard, part of the stables have been converted into a practical office, ideal for managing livery or running an equestrian business. Adjacent, lies an open barn and two additional stables—well-suited for tack, feed or additional shelter.

Little Gatcombe Farm - Tucked away in the sought-after village of Gatcombe, Little Gatcombe Farm is a rare and versatile offering. Surrounded by panoramic rural views in an AONB, the farmhouse is a little over 25 years old and blends comfort with country charm.

Interior - Constructed in 1999 and thoughtfully designed for flexible living, the farmhouse at Little Gatcombe Farm provides well-balanced accommodation across two floors. A generous porch welcomes you, with space to shed coats and boots after countryside walks. The ground floor includes a substantial triple-aspect sitting room with countryside views and a feature inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. From here, French doors open into a sizeable conservatory—once a successful tearoom—offering panoramic views over the land and its own independent entrance for guests.

The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room boasts ample cabinetry, generous workspace and room for a large family table. A separate reception room—currently used as a fifth bedroom—enjoys dual-aspect views and could serve as a formal dining room or home office. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom/utility space with room for laundry appliances.

Upstairs, four spacious double bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. Three benefit from en-suite shower rooms, while a modern family bathroom serves the fourth. The layout lends itself well to the B&B model or extended family living.

External Buildings & Grounds

A sought-after spot for nature lovers and equestrians alike, the area offers superb riding and walking routes through rolling hills and woodland.
