**Guide Price £1,000,000 - £1,150,000**
Tucked away along a private lane between the picturesque villages of Plaistow and Ifold, this outstanding four-bedroom detached Dan-Wood residence represents a rare fusion of contemporary design, natural beauty, and equestrian excellence.

DESCRIPTION
Set within approximately 1.5 acres of mature grounds and surrounded by open countryside, the property offers an enviable, refined countryside lifestyle defined by privacy, space, and effortless access to scenic riding and walking routes directly from the doorstep.

The stylish and versatile interiors comprise:

A welcoming entrance hall, where a sense of light and proportion immediately sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. A central dining hall forms the heart of the home, seamlessly connecting the principal living spaces and creating an ideal setting for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life.
The triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room is a standout feature, flooded with natural light and thoughtfully designed with bespoke cabinetry, elegant stone worktops, and a central breakfast bar. French doors open onto the gardens, enhancing the indoor-outdoor flow, while a range-style cooker and integrated appliances complete this sophisticated yet highly practical space.
The sitting room offers a warm and inviting retreat, with triple-aspect views and a contemporary wood-burning stove providing a striking focal point, perfect for cosy evenings.
A separate utility room and cloakroom add further convenience, while the self-contained annexe, accessed via the dining hall, offers complete flexibility. With its own private entrance, double bedroom, bathroom, and open-plan living/kitchen area, it is ideally suited to multigenerational living, guest accommodation, or potential income.
The first floor is beautifully arranged to provide elegant bedroom accommodation of both comfort and privacy. 2 generous double bedrooms are complemented by a well-appointed family bathroom, while the principal suite serves as a relaxing sanctuary, and features a dressing area and a stylish en-suite shower room.

Exceptional Grounds and Equestrian Facilities
The property is approached via a sweeping driveway, leading to an extensive gravelled forecourt providing ample parking.

The grounds extend to approximately 1.5 acres and are thoughtfully arranged, with lawned gardens, a workshop/shed, and a fully equipped equestrian complex positioned to the rear.
The equestrian facilities include:
Well-maintained stables and hay stores
Tack room
Impressive 74ft x 62ft sand school
Grazing paddock

Beyond this, residents benefit from shared ownership of approximately 2 acres of private woodland along Poundfield Lane offering a rare and valuable extension of the lifestyle, ideal for riding, walking, and enjoying the surrounding natural beauty.

Outbuildings and Enduring Versatility
A traditional Sussex barn forms a striking architectural companion to the main house, complemented by an oak-framed open-fronted car port, historically believed to have been stables. This now benefits from Class Q Planning (reference DC/25/2106): - Conversion of existing barn and reconstruction of existing car port into a habitable annexe.

Additional outbuildings include a garden store and a well-appointed garden room with power and light, offering potential for a home office, studio or further ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

The inclusion of a paddock enhances the estate’s versatility, lending itself equally to equestrian pursuits or the simple enjoyment of open space.
