Little Close Farm is set in eight acres of land. Included in the acreage are eight paddocks for grazing and there is also a jumping paddock, which has ditches. The land is all fairly flat and manageable. There are four field shelters located within the paddocks and the outer boundaries of the fields have been used as a canter track by the current owners.
There is a 20x5om outdoor arena with floodlights, post and rail fencing and a sand and rubber surface. The arena also has training mirrors and some showjumps that are included in the sale.
The main stable barn has seven loose boxes and a tack room. A door leads to the wash barn with cross-tie area, and there is a further door leading to a large barn.
There is a second stable barn with three loose boxes and an attached store and adjoining workshop.
Another key feature of the property is the kennelling facilities. There are two insulated kennels with external runs, and two kennelling outbuildings, each with six kennels with external runs.
A further outbuilding has two timber stables that are currently used as additional kennelling.
There is plenty of parking to the front of the house. To the rear there is a garden which has decked patio areas and a lawn where you will find a shed, a summerhouse and a hot tub.
The home is a bungalow with two to three bedrooms. The kitchen/breakfast room leads through into a utility room which has space for a fridge freezer, a washing machine and a separate tumble dryer.
