Fyfield

A superbly located family residence with potential for expansion (stp), equestrian facilities and secluded grounds of 2.8 acres (stls)

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

This property really is an equine dream and has enormous potential for further expansion if required (subject to the necessary consents). The location really is to die for…..set at the end of a quiet, no through road amongst some of the most stunning open countryside that you are likely to see and yet within a short drive of Ongar High Street that offers an abundance of amenities.

What the Owners say

We have thoroughly enjoyed our home here for the last thirteen years and it has been wonderful to fulfil our dream of being able to keep our horses at home. We will dearly miss the peace and tranquillity that we have here that gives us the enjoyment of hacking right from our doorstep, along with the wonderful long country dog walks that we love on a daily basis, but the time has come to downsize and for ease for the incoming buyers we will offer the property for sale with no onward chain.
