Key features

  • Approx 3 acres, with excellent equestrian, business and lifestyle appeal.
  • Spacious 5–6 bedroom home with 3 reception rooms and flexible living space.
  • Formerly licensed cattery business offering strong income potential.
  • Historic, unlisted, 1850s barn with hayloft, plus tack room currently used as a bar.
  • Private landscaped garden with extensive decking, hot tub, lawn and mature planting.
  • Three garages and multiple outbuildings in a sought-after village with excellent local amenities.

Description

Set within around three acres, this impressive and highly adaptable property offers a rare blend of lifestyle appeal and genuine business potential. The house and outbuildings sit on a plot of around one acre, including a paddock, with an adjoining two-acre field to the west.

The main house provides substantial and versatile accommodation, featuring five to six bedrooms alongside three well-proportioned reception rooms. The layout works particularly well for modern family living, easily accommodating larger households, multi-generational arrangements, or those requiring dedicated space for home working. For equestrian buyers, the property is equally well suited, with extensive paddock land and a selection of outbuildings that lend themselves to stabling, storage, or future enhancement (subject to any necessary consents).

The grounds support a strong rural lifestyle with practical functionality throughout. Additional character is provided by an unlisted 1850s barn with hayloft, complemented by an adjoining tack room currently used as a bar. The gardens are private and enclosed, designed for outdoor enjoyment with extensive decking, lawned areas, mature planting, and a hot tub, making them ideal for entertaining.

Further benefits include multiple outbuildings and three garages, providing excellent storage, workshop space, or conversion potential, depending on requirements. A rare feature is the cattery premises, already established on site along with kitchen and storage. Whilst no longer being operated as a business, the cattery was fully licensed and presents a well-structured income opportunity for those looking to operate a home-based business. It offers a solid foundation for continued use or further development, subject to requirements.

In summary, this is a rare opportunity combining spacious family living, established business use, and equestrian facilities, all set within a desirable village location offering local amenities including two pubs, a post office, pharmacy, and primary school.
