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.
