OUTSIDE
Set in approximately 11 acres of beautifully private, level land, this impressive equestrian facility offers an exceptional combination of practicality, space and rural charm. A particular attraction of the land is that it is all level, making it exceptionally versatile for equestrian use, grazing, exercising horses and general agricultural purposes.
The property is approached via a private driveway, enclosed by a traditional five-bar gate, which opens to generous parking for several vehicles. There is excellent vehicular access throughout, including access to the land, carport and barn. A separate side driveway leads to the rear of the property, where the garage/workshop is situated.
At the heart of the equestrian facilities is an impressive American-style barn, providing 10 good-sized loose boxes/stables, together with power, lighting and water. There is plentiful space within the barn for the storage of farm machinery, hay and straw, while stairs lead to a useful mezzanine/loft area, providing further storage. To the rear of the barn is a well-appointed tack room with WC, while the large front doors open directly onto the yard, creating excellent access for horses, machinery and deliveries.
Opposite the barn and yard is a fully enclosed riding arena, providing a dedicated area for schooling and exercise.
The surrounding grounds have a wonderfully rural and established feel, with the majority of the gardens laid to lawn and the land divided into a number of enclosed paddocks and fields. Mature shrubs, established trees and hedging provide excellent privacy, shelter and an attractive backdrop throughout the seasons. A delightful orchard adds further character, while an additional outbuilding/store provides useful external storage.
Tucked away at the edge of the property is an enchanting small area of semi-wild woodland, which adjoins the stream running along the boundary. Together with the mature hedgerows and trees, this creates a particularly tranquil and secluded setting, with a strong sense of being surrounded by countryside.
The land is exceptionally private, enclosed by mature hedges and established trees. The combination of its rarely found level topography, excellent equestrian infrastructure, enclosed paddocks, generous storage and peaceful rural setting makes this a highly versatile smallholding and equestrian holding.
