Fine & Country presents an exceptional equestrian residence in the heart of the Kent countryside, where elegant modern living and outstanding facilities come together within approximately 16 acres of gardens and pasture.

Set behind electric wrought iron gates and approached via a private driveway, the property immediately conveys a sense of order, privacy, and purpose. The house and yard are thoughtfully positioned, allowing the home to retain its charm and tranquillity while the equestrian facilities operate with complete practicality.

The house has been comprehensively refurbished and stylishly modernised by the current owners. The interiors feel calm and cohesive, blending contemporary finishes with charming character touches. The principal living spaces are arranged to flow naturally from one to another, creating a layout that feels both sociable and intuitive.

At the centre of the home sits a beautifully appointed kitchen and dining space, designed for modern family life. Cabinetry is sleek and understated, with generous preparation areas and a configuration that opens effortlessly into the adjoining living accommodation. A separate utility room provides essential additional storage and laundry space, ensuring the main living areas remain uncluttered.

The sitting room offers a more relaxed retreat, centred around a fireplace with wood burning stove and enjoying a pleasant outlook across the gardens. The bedroom arrangement across two floors provides flexibility for family living, guests, or home working, supported by well-appointed bath and shower facilities.

The formal gardens immediately surrounding the house are quaint and beautifully maintained, with lawns, mature hedging and defined seating areas that invite outdoor dining in the warmer months. Beyond, the land unfolds into well fenced paddocks with water supply, arranged for ease of management and year-round turnout.

The equestrian facilities are extensive and exceptionally well organised. The stable yard is configured to operate efficiently at scale, while still feeling manageable and secure. Twenty-one stables are fully rubber matted and fitted with lighting, with the flexibility to create a twenty second box if the current washroom is utilised for that purpose. Three tack rooms and three rug rooms provide ample dedicated storage, complemented by a feed room and two substantial barns, one of which is divided to create separate internal spaces. An outside office supports the day to day running of the yard.

Training facilities are equally impressive. Two sand and rubber arenas offer excellent all-weather footing; one fully floodlit for evening use. A floodlit Claydon five bay horse walker further enhances the calibre of the setup. Generous parking accommodates cars and horseboxes with ease, making the property ideally suited to private use, training, or an established equestrian enterprise.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a refined country home paired with facilities of genuine quality, where lifestyle, passion and practicality are seamlessly aligned.
