OUTSIDE

The true highlight of Kingfishers lies beyond the house itself. Set within just under four acres of ring-fenced grazing land, the property presents a rare opportunity for those seeking an equestrian lifestyle or smallholding potential. The land includes a useful workshop/store and a mobile two-stable block with field shelter, while separate vehicular access to the paddocks provides excellent practicality for horse owners and agricultural use alike.

The gardens and grounds create a wonderful setting, complemented by ample driveway parking to the front of the property. Offered to the market with no onward chain, Kingfishers represents a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial family home with exceptional equestrian facilities in a stunning rural setting.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING

As of 2017, Estate Agents are legally required to undertake Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property.
Boatwrights Estate Agents Ltd are members of The Guild of Property Professionals and therefore use a professional service called Guild 365 to facilitate these checks. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted. There is a charge for this service at a cost of £30+VAT (per person) which is non-refundable. Boatwrights do receive small proportion of this fee in order to cover our administrative costs.
