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.
