5 bedroom equestrian property for sale

Modern detached five bedroom farm house with detached barn and stables, all in about 19 acres of land. Description This fabulous detached family home was originally built in 2008 but has been continually improved since and now provides well balanced five bedroom accommodation of about 2,402 sq ft in the main house plus the stables, the barn and the double garage totalling about 4,174 sq ft. In the main house the ground floor features three separate reception rooms plus the impressive kitchen/family room that has bi-fold doors opening out onto the South facing rear garden and the land beyond. There is also a separate utility room and cloakroom on this level. On the first floor the principal bedroom is double aspect and has a beautiful en suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms on the first floor, the second bedroom has an en suite shower room and there is also a family bathroom. Outside the large front driveway is secured through electronic gates and provides parking for a number of cars along with access to the detached double garage. The formal gardens face south, are beautifully kept and overlook the paddock and woodland behind. There is a large terrace and well kept lawns, an ornamental pond and direct access to the stable block, barn and paddock. The modern stable block and forecourt are immaculately kept providing two large stables, a tack room and hay barn. This leads straight out onto the paddock and could easily be made independent from the main house if required but currently blends seamlessly as part of the family home. The detached barn is recently built providing about 984 sq ft of accommodation, a multitude of possibilities, with full height roller door, side access door and forecourt. There is a separate access from the front lane into the forecourt, the barn and the paddock. The land overall amounts to around nineteen acres comprising an area of private woodland and significant paddocks that have previously been home to horses for many years and would be perfectly suited to this moving forward. Please note this property has private drainage.
