Rare Equestrian Opportunity in Prestigious Waterford - A Modern Eco Home with Stables, Land and Breathtaking Views

There are properties you view, and there are properties that take your breath away the moment you arrive. The Paddocks belongs firmly in the latter. Set high on one of Waterford’s most exclusive roads, this equestrian facility and brand-new eco-friendly home combines contemporary luxury with the romance of countryside living, all framed by sweeping, uninterrupted views across Waterford Common.

Luxury Living

This unique property combines luxury living of 2,900 sqft, premium stables, and multigenerational potential, all within 40 minutes of London.
You are welcomed by a beautifully landscaped driveway, it becomes immediately clear that this is a truly exceptional and rare property, with parking for several cars, leading to a secure gated entrance to the stables and paddocks.
The architecture is striking yet timeless, with nearly 2.5 acres of grounds wrapped around a home designed to be both beautiful and practical. It is a sanctuary where families can grow, horses can thrive, and entertaining becomes second nature.
Inside, light floods through every corner. The grand hallway welcomes you into a home that balances elegance with warmth. At its heart lies an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room, a space made for gathering, celebrating, and sharing everyday moments.

Walls of glass open to the garden, dissolving the boundaries between inside and out. The lounge area is serene, a place to pause and take in the sunset, while a versatile reception room and generous boot room add flexibility for modern living.
Walking through the beautiful hallway, complete with built-in cupboards for storage. From here, you will find a downstairs toilet, a store cupboard, and an additional reception room which could easily be reconfigured into a separate annexe if required.

Upstairs, the principal suite is a true retreat, a luxurious bedroom with panoramic views to wake up to, a dressing room, and a spa-like en suite. Three further double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, continue the sense of calm luxury, with one benefitting from its own en suite. Even the landing has been designed with thought, offering a bright corner perfect for a study or reading nook.

Step outside and the gardens transport you to another world. Recently landscaped with a Spanish influence, they unfold over split levels with elegant lawns, patio, and quiet corners designed for both entertaining and peaceful reflection.

Equestrian Excellence

For equestrian enthusiasts, The Paddocks is a dream realised. The premium Longcross stable block provides three spacious, beautifully designed stables with rubber matting and rear windows, ensuring comfort and ventilation.
An additional stable block holds huge potential ready to be transformed into an annexe, studio, or even an independent rental.
The 40m x 20m manège, with its sand and rubber cloth surface, offers exceptional year-round riding, while secure paddocks stretch beyond. Whether you’re training, competing, or simply enjoying time with your horses, this is an equestrian home of the highest calibre.

It is a statement, an opportunity, and a dream waiting to be lived.
