Exceptional equestrian property in over eight acres.

Description

Penny Mead is a wonderful, especially attractive and generously proportioned property with fantastic equestrian facilities including stables, manège, horse walker and superbly maintained paddocks.

The accommodation flows remarkably well with a range of reception rooms, perfect for entertaining and raising a family. The bespoke wooden kitchen provides a focal point with granite work surface, integrated units and AGA; it extends to a marvellous conservatory/dining room, which is flooded with natural light and offers views over the beautiful gardens and out towards the paddocks. French windows lead on to the terrace.

The drawing room is a particularly pleasant, double aspect room with a wood burning stove and French windows, while the snug, which is off a further dining room, provides a cosy space to relax or could be used as a nursery.

Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to the capacious principal bedroom with an en suite shower room, four further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

To the west of the property, is a double garage with a studio annexe over, which would make ideal guest accommodation.

Penny Mead sits well in grounds totalling around 8.1 acres. The south facing gardens are delightful, with a splendid terrace, verdant lawns, mature borders and some well-established trees providing privacy and seclusion.
