5 bedroom detached house for sale

Renovated approximately five years ago, the house is light, well proportioned and ideally suited to modern family living.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall. To the left is the first reception room, featuring a log burner. Directly ahead is a second reception room extending the full width of the house, with four sets of patio doors opening onto the terrace and enjoying views over the landscaped pond and lawned garden. To the right of the hall is a contemporary open-plan kitchen, designed for family living, with integrated appliances, a four-oven range, a four-seat breakfast bar and ample space for a large dining table. Off the kitchen is a glazed link to the tack room/boot room, with a further external door. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating throughout.

A carpeted staircase rises from the hall to the first floor accommodation, which comprises five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom has a generous en-suite bathroom, with a further double bedroom also benefiting from an en suite. Three additional bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. Throughout, the rooms are finished in a neutral palette, with modern, tiled bathrooms.

The property includes two self-contained two-bedroom cottages and a one-bedroom apartment. All have their own private entrances, parking spaces and access to the patio garden, and are finished in a neutral palette with modern bathrooms and furnishings. Currently operated as holiday lets, they offer excellent flexibility for guest accommodation, staff housing or income generation.

The property is approached via a shared private track and gravel driveway, leading to fenced and landscaped grounds that enjoy a high degree of privacy. There is parking for up to five cars in front of the house, with additional parking to the side.

The garden lies to the rear of the property, featuring a generous paved terrace and a raised pond leading onto a lawned area. The garden is enclosed, with paddocks extending to the left.

The equestrian facilities are a particular highlight and are thoughtfully arranged. To the right of the house is a five-stable block, accessed from the front. There is also an American-style barn with its own secure entrance through electric gates. A floodlit sand-and-rubber ménage is positioned across the track opposite the house. In addition, there is a five-horse walker and a series of well-maintained paddocks, creating a comprehensive and well-considered equestrian setup. Lighting and water supplies are provided throughout. There is separate bridleway access into the property.
