The four-acre plot is divided into gardens and paddocks. There is also a newly constructed 60x20m manège and stable block, consisting of two stables.
The grounds offer gardens, a large patio area and a selection of outbuildings, with a double garage block, gardener’s buildings and additional buildings currently being used as tack rooms. There is a large driveway with plenty of parking for vehicles and horseboxes.
Entering the main house, there is an original Minton tiled entrance hall, leading to a mix of reception rooms.
There is a lounge with a bay window, beams, oak floor and fireplace. The kitchen features a centre island, and this room opens into a formal sitting room with period fireplace, beams and original flooring. There is also a formal dining room with high ceilings, oak flooring and a Victorian style fireplace.
The room currently used for a games room with large inglenook fireplace would also make an office or family room. The original cheese room is currently used as a utility room. There is a scullery with vaulted ceiling and is primed for redevelopment into further accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions, and a large cellar.
An original wooden staircase leads to the first-floor accommodation, which offers five double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom features beams, far reaching countryside views and an en-suite.
An additional staircase leads to the second floor, which currently provides living accommodation, including a lounge which leads onto a large bedroom suite with an en-suite. There is also another double bedroom and a large storage room.
There is a further currently unutilised acre of land that has been offered to a developer who has an option to develop the land as a high-end, exclusive residential plot. Should the planning consultation be successful there is an opportunity to sell the land for between £800,000 to £1m to the developer in question, subject to final valuations.
