There is also a field shelter and the land has been divided into a number of smaller paddocks for all year grazing.

PLEASE NOTE: To have this amount of grazing land so close to Ashdown Forest for direct riding access with this modern village home, is extremely rare and which many an equestrian buyer would be very keen to have the benefit of. With the 4 stables and tack room, together with storage for hay, and parking for horse boxes on site, we feel it would be very hard to find a similar property with these equestrian facilities so close to Ashdown Forest.
