The house is believed to have been built during the late 1960's, standing well back from the road. The premises can only be described as a 'green oasis' of established grounds, mature trees, whilst offering considerable potential for the incoming buyer. The potential easily ranges from running a permissible business from home, to using the equestrian facilities to their full potential or simply to enjoy (as the current owners have) for own private uses, alongside the livery yard (unregistered) to help pay towards the groundsman/maintenance.
Due to downsizing, all equipment, ground machinery and associated implements/equipment can be available, strictly by separate negotiation.
SETTING & LOCAITON The Property stands in marginally under 21 glorious, established acres, set into a hillside within a picturesque lane and with hilltop vantage views right across to London. This bowl of countryside provides lovely rolling grazing with nine paddocks and an extensive hilltop yard area with the considerable number of outbuildings, having their own entrance road. To the rear the stunning views encompass Thorndon Country and Tylers Common is just at the brow of Tomkyns Lane.
The house is nestled well back from the lane, within its sizeable domestic curtilage with gated accesses up to the yard. Accompanying the house are a quadruple garage and double garage, with automatic doors, the Pool/Leisure Building and summerhouse/Tennis Pavilion overlooking the Tennis court.
The property is situated in a sought-after lane, within the London Borough of Havering and more precisely located between Upminster (on the rural fringes) and Great Warley Brentwood, therefore offering great flexibility for access to the Major Road links, the A127 and M25, as well as being convenient for both private and state schools.
