This home has functional existing facilities with the potential for extension subject to the necessary permissions being obtained. In brief, it currently consists of a bungalow, eight stables, 8.6 acres and an outdoor school.
The property is set on a hillside with views across the rolling countryside. It has extensive road frontage onto open farmland with views mainly to the northeast.
The grazing is set out in three separate paddocks.
There is a 20x40m outdoor school that has post and rail fencing and requires some attention from the purchaser. The stables have a large security light that shines over the arena.
There are eight stables, including two larger boxes and six pony-sized boxes. There are further areas to adapt for extra stabling or for use as storage and a tack room.
There are also a few storage barns and buildings which can serve multiple uses depending on your needs. The buildings have stood for 40 years (without initial permissions), albeit are now established. The large workshop is divided into two rooms with storage and there is also a pole barn.
The four-bedroom bungalow has a terraced area, a lawn and a direct outlook over the first paddock to the rear.
The kitchen is fitted with Wren units finished with granite work surfaces. There is space for a farmhouse-style breakfast table and there are views over farmland from the windows.
The sitting room features an exposed brick chimney breast housing a traditional log burner.
