Description

RARE TO MARKET:- Model Farm – A distinguished period farmhouse with exceptional equestrian facilities, set within approximately 5.2 acres of picturesque countryside.

Dating back to the mid-1800s, this impressive semi-rural residence combines timeless character with outstanding versatility, enjoying far-reaching views and offered to the market with no onward chain.

The four-bedroom farmhouse has original features, including exposed beams and  bay windows, complemented by generous and flexible living accommodation. Multiple reception rooms provide excellent entertaining space, while the well-appointed dining kitchen, complete with Aga, forms the heart of the home. Several bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, ideal for modern family living.

Externally, Model Farm truly excels. The property boasts an extensive range of outbuildings, barns, and workshops, alongside equestrian facilities including stabling for four horses, tack rooms, and run-in shelters. A characterful former cottage/store and lofted spaces offer exciting potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents.

The grounds are equally impressive, featuring a private courtyard garden with swimming pool and summerhouse, an orchard, paddocks, and farmland, all set against a stunning semi-rural backdrop. A large yard, multiple garages, and extensive parking further enhance the property's practicality.

An outstanding lifestyle opportunity, perfectly suited to equestrian use, smallholding, or those seeking a substantial home with scope, privacy, and countryside charm.
