4 bedroom detached house for sale

Constructed in handsome brick and flint, Ryder Lodge is a distinguished detached village residence offering an exceptional blend of privacy, scale and lifestyle, complemented by comprehensive equestrian facilities and set within approximately 1.5 acres (stms). Despite its discreet positioning, the property remains within comfortable walking distance of the coastline, combining rural calm with the appeal of coastal village living.

The approach is both impressive and measured. A long, sweeping driveway draws the eye through the grounds, passing established paddocks and well-appointed stabling, immediately conveying the quality and purpose of the setting. For those with equestrian interests, the facilities are rarely rivalled within a village environment, comprising fully equipped stables, enclosed grazing and a professionally arranged ménage, all designed to allow horses to be kept at home with ease and efficiency.

The accommodation within the house has been carefully considered to offer both grandeur and everyday practicality. At its centre lies a substantial kitchen, designed as a true focal point of the home, which flows seamlessly into a generous living and dining area. This arrangement creates an elegant yet relaxed space, ideally suited to family life and entertaining on both an intimate and larger scale.

A magnificent sitting room provides a further highlight, defined by its vaulted ceiling and an individually crafted fireplace which anchors the space and lends a strong architectural presence. This room offers an inviting retreat while maintaining a sense of volume and drama. To the front of the house, a refined orangery introduces an additional reception space, flooded with natural light and enjoying open views across the grounds towards the neighbouring village church, a particularly attractive and characterful outlook.

The first floor is arranged to provide four well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which are served by en-suite facilities, while the remaining rooms are supported by a well-appointed family bathroom. On the ground floor, the inclusion of a fifth bedroom, accompanied by a contemporary shower room, adds a valuable degree of flexibility, lending itself equally to guest accommodation, multigenerational living or a refined home office.

Throughout the property, the finish is of a notably high specification, with modern detailing and thoughtful design choices reinforcing the sense of a home that has been executed with care and attention. The balance between formal reception space and practical family accommodation has been achieved with considerable success.

Accessed via a separate driveway, a detached outbuilding is currently configured as a hairdressing salon. Entirely independent from the main house, this building offers a credible commercial opportunity or potential for alternative uses, subject to any necessary consents, without compromising the privacy of the principal residence.

In addition, the current owners rent an adjoining parcel of land from a neighbouring farmer, with the possibility of continuing this arrangement by discussion. Set well back within its grounds, Ryder Lodge enjoys a pronounced sense of seclusion, presenting a compelling lifestyle offering that unites equestrian capability, flexible accommodation and an enviable coastal village setting.
