Description

A rare opportunity to acquire an established equestrian property sat within approx. 10.5 acres. It offers purpose-built stables, a tack room, feed store, extensive paddock space and a range of useful outbuildings. This property offers a well proportioned extended bungalow with three bedrooms.

Nestled in a sought-after rural setting with easy access to bridleways, local amenities, and transport links, make this property ideal for both privacy and convenience.

A gated entrance leads onto a gravel driveway with direct access to the three bedroom detached bungalow and the equestrian facilities. There are two blocks of stables, one consisting of five stables and the second block has three stables. There is easy access from the stables to the paddocks, and space for parking a horse box. In front of the stables is a large open area consisting of lawn and gravel which leads into a driveway with access to the bungalow on the left hand side. The bungalow is surrounded by garden which consists of lawn, shrubs, a vegetable patch, storage sheds, orchard trees and timber outbuilding. The timber outbuilding is fully powered and would be useful as workshop or office. The extensive paddock land is partially fenced and the boundary is encompassed by mature trees, which back onto agricultural land. There is a separate entrance to the paddocks and stables from the road, thus avoiding the main drive to the house.

The detached bungalow is approximately 1500sqft and features three well proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom as well as a shower room. The living room is spacious and bright with a window, French doors and a wood burner inset in the large fireplace. The French doors lead out to the rear garden. The property also benefits from a separate dining room which has a built in storage cupboard. The kitchen has wooden style base and eye level units, built in double oven, inset sink and drainer and a stable door with leads out to the sunroom. This room is fully double glazed and has double doors that lead you out to the rear garden.

Outside
The property is accessed via Rookwood Lane with a gated entrance giving way to a driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles. The enclosed property includes front and rear gardens with a patio terrace to the rear and an expansive lawn with a range of mature tree. This leads to the stable blocks and outbuildings. There is a number of outbuildings such as the barn, along with two stable blocks all complete with power and light, some with water, there are several storage rooms, a feed and hay store along with a tack room. There are a number of paddocks enclosed by post and rail. The perimeter of the property is surrounded by mature trees.
