If you are a hunting fan you can look forward to following the famous Fitzwilliam (Milton) Hunt when the season comes around.

Shall we have a look around? Prepare for some mega views…
Set in 6.5 acres of land, the property has several paddocks and is in a prime location for quiet country hacking.
Next to both the paddocks and the gardens is the floodlit outdoor school which is fenced with post and rail and has an all-weather surface. You can see the arena from the kitchen window.
There is a block of eight spacious stables. The yard has power and light and also incorporates a hay barn, a WC and a tack room.
As you can see, the main house is a few metres from the yard, so early morning feeds won’t be problem.
One of the features of the property is the kitchen/breakfast room which sits at ground level. It has French doors opening outside and has been fitted with country-style units and work surfaces.
The home has five dreamy bedrooms located on the first floor. One is en suite while the other four are served by a family bathroom.
Accessed from the patio is a swimming pool room complete with built-in bar-style area.
Could you make this house your home?
