OUTSIDE

Occupying an enviable position within a plot of approximately 2.8 acres (STMS), this remarkable home enjoys a secluded and picturesque setting, surrounded by open countryside and far-reaching field views. Approached via a private driveway offering extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles, the former garage has been removed and replaced with an annexe building, with approved planning that includes the reinstatement of a garage within the design.

The grounds themselves are nothing short of breathtaking. A stunning nature pond forms a tranquil centrepiece, while part of the boundary is bordered by a peaceful river and mature trees, creating a beautiful and private backdrop. Expansive lawns extend towards a block of multiple stables/stalls with an adjacent fenced paddock, ideal for equestrian use or lifestyle pursuits. A true haven for nature lovers.
