Modern equestrian retreat with 20 acres surrounded by countryside with far reaching views with a variety of options for hacking.

Description

Hanger Lodge occupies an enviable setting, down a quiet country lane in Churt, close to Frensham Great Pond. This modern equestrian retreat is a wood framed New England style home offering five bedrooms and an interior which has been designed for comfort and functionality and there is an engaging atmosphere throughout.

The property is surrounded by countryside with far reaching views and is sited opposite a bridle path, with access to Frensham Common offering a variety of options for hacking.

The house was constructed around twenty years ago and is entered via an impressive vaulted kitchen and dining area with exposed wood beams. The kitchen features fitted cabinets, granite worktops, a kitchen island/breakfast bar, integral appliances and an American style fridge freezer. The kitchen is open to a spacious sitting room with views over the surrounding countryside and sliding doors open the room up to an expansive wrap around deck, perfect for al fresco entertaining. A door from the sitting room leads to a bright double aspect ground floor study/bedroom with sliding doors to the deck, and a useful en suite shower room. On the other side of the house, there is a family room, two ground floor bedrooms, a bathroom, and a utility with an external door, that could be closed off from the main house and used as an annexe. Also in this area but with access from outside is a useful boot room and WC serving the equine areas.

Upstairs, a wide landing with fitted storage leads to the principal bedroom suite with vaulted ceilings and full height glazing allowing panoramic views over fields. There is an en suite WC and walk in shower, with a staircase to a mezzanine bathroom above. Two further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with separate shower.

Outside, the property is approached through double electric gates and driveway, leading to a double Rookery Barn garage with storage above and an attached store. There is also ample space for parking.

The drive then sweeps around the house to two yards, one with seven stables, a tack room and a hay barn, and one with six stables and tack room. There are three field shelters, a 20m diameter lunge ring, a floodlit of 28 x 52m manège, and 14 well-maintained paddocks with water and mains electric fences. The plot measures 20 acres in total.
