3 bedroom property

Charming, sandstone fronted, late nineteenth century detached cottage with equestrian facilities, enjoying a peaceful rural setting on the edge of the village of Avonbridge. The property enjoys wonderful views across surrounding fields and countryside. The property also enjoys fishing rights over the nearby River Avon. The subjects are set within two acres of land or thereby which incorporate private gardens, delineated paddocks, all-weather riding arena/school, double field shelter and automated water supply. Particular note is drawn to the substantial agricultural outbuilding/stabling which extends to sixty feet in length and includes three larger loose-box stables, light, power and water. The property has a large private side driveway in addition to a rear enclosed courtyard/parking area with further access to a substantial double sized garage.

Dating from circa 1890, the property has been professionally extended and modernised, such that it combines period charm with all the conveniences demanded by modern-day living. The sitting room has a multi-fuel stove and extends to in excess of twenty feet with dual aspect windows. The impressive dining/family room also extends to in excess of twenty feet, again with dual aspect windows, and enjoys access via French doors to the gardens. The dining/family room is a particularly flexible apartment which would suit a variety of purposes including fourth downstairs bedroom if required. The property has a stylish refitted dining kitchen which is complete with electric hob, extractor hood, double oven, integrated microwave, washing machine, dishwasher and a freestanding American fridge freezer. The lower accommodation is completed by a boot/utility room with freestanding tumble dryer and downstairs WC.

On the upper floor there are three versatile bedrooms, two of which have fitted robes, and a large family bathroom. The family bathroom has a separate shower with mains shower valve, excellent storage and chrome radiator. Practical features include oil central heating with combi boiler, new radiators throughout and double glazing.

The property will no doubt have broad market appeal including those seeking property for equestrian purposes and purchasers seeking to combine their business and residential interests in one convenient location. Significant potential exists to develop/extend the existing accommodation, subject to obtaining the usual consents. Viewing is highly recommended. Energy Efficiency Rating - F.
