Description

An opportunity to acquire an impressive equestrian property offering extensive accommodation, high-quality facilities and approximately 30 acres of gently rolling land and woodland.

Set on the edge of the highly regarded Rutland village of Belton, Goose Pasture Farm occupies a superb rural position within unspoilt countryside, yet with excellent accessibility. The property combines flexible living arrangements with outstanding equestrian amenities and a range of outbuildings, ideal for equestrian, smallholding or lifestyle buyers seeking space, privacy and versatility.

The property is approached via a gated driveway from College Farm Lane, dividing to the stables and to the farmhouse, which enjoys far-reaching views and excellent privacy.

The timber-framed farmhouse, built in 2004, blends traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort, featuring an attractive façade and exposed timbers throughout. A covered entrance leads to a welcoming hallway with storage. The heart of the home is the beautifully appointed family dining kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of units, Smeg range cooker, central island and walk-in pantry, with ample dining space.

Adjoining is the impressive oak-framed garden room, a striking vaulted reception with triple-aspect glazing, exposed brickwork and a wood-burning stove. French doors open onto both north and south-facing terraces, providing superb entertaining spaces. The sitting room offers generous proportions, countryside views and a further wood-burning stove, with internal doors leading to a lantern-lit games room/home office within the 2024 extension. A study, utility room and shower room complete the ground floor.

To the first floor are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal suite, added in 2024, features high ceilings, a dressing room and a luxurious marble-finished en suite. Bedroom two benefits from exposed beams, a dressing room and en suite, while bedrooms three and four are well-proportioned doubles with storage. The family bathroom includes a roll-top bath and delightful rural views.

Linked to the house is a high-quality single-storey annexe (2024), suitable for multi-generational living or guest accommodation. With its own entrance, the annexe provides a vaulted kitchen/living space with sliding doors onto a raised terrace, a generous double bedroom and en suite shower room.

The farmhouse is set within approximately 30 acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland. Formal gardens lie mainly to the rear, ideal for outdoor dining. Post-and-rail fenced paddocks with water supply lie close to the stables, with further paddocks, a large arena, hardstanding and a versatile former chicken shed beyond. Approximately 6.5 acres of woodland frame the upper paddocks, offering access onto Holygate Road and a network of bridleways.

Goose Pasture Farm has operated as a successful equestrian property for many years. Facilities include a 60m x 30m floodlit arena with TurfFloat surface, a well-ventilated Dutch barn with 11 loose boxes, tack room and storage, and a five-bay Monarch horse walker.

Opposite the house is a detached oak-framed garage block providing garaging for five cars, with a high-quality one-bedroom apartment above. A further large outbuilding (82m x 19m) offers significant potential for conversion or alternative use, subject to planning.
