Description
A five bedroom detached equestrian property set in over 11 acres of grounds and surrounded by farmland with a two bedroom annexe above a triple garage, stabling, a hay barn and a carriage driveway accessed via a tree-lined drive. This brick under clay tile, neo-classical style property has a private tree-lined drive which opens to a carriage driveway with a turning circle and ample parking. The main house has approximately 3,250 sq. ft. of accommodation set over two floors. The double doors at the front open to an entrance hall with a butterfly staircase leading to a galleried first floor landing. There are four reception rooms, three of which have French doors opening to the rear patio and two have decorative fireplaces. The kitchen/breakfast room has an adjacent utility room, and there is a cloakroom.
The first floor has five bedrooms leading off the landing, the principal bedroom suite has a dressing room and, like bedroom two, an en suite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom.
Facing onto the driveway is the triple garaging beneath the two bedroom self-contained annexe.
First Floor From the feature galleried landing with turned wooden balusters and triple windows overlooking the drive, doors lead into all five bedrooms, and the four piece family bathroom. The dual aspect, over 21 ft. long principal bedroom suite is dual aspect with double windows overlooking the side and the rear. It has built-in wardrobes, a dressing room, and a five piece en suite bathroom. Bedroom two also has an en suite bathroom. All the bedrooms have views looking across the garden, paddocks, and countryside beyond.
Annexe In keeping with the main house, the annexe is brick-built with a hipped slate roof and dormer windows. The self-contained accommodation, accessed from a door in the rear with a staircase to the first floor, has a dual aspect sitting room, two bedrooms overlooking the front, a fitted kitchen and a three piece shower room. Below, with windows on both sides and three up and over doors onto the drive, is the triple garage.
Outside There are three timber framed and timber clad stable buildings arranged in an L-shape opposite the farmhouse. Two of the barn buildings are open plan structures. The third comprises four stables. There is also an open hay barn with metal gates towards the front of the plot and there are additional feed stations and field shelters within the paddocks. The paddocks are enclosed by post and rail fencing and/or indigenous hedging, and are accessed by farm gates.
