5 bedroom equestrian facility for sale

An early 18th-century detached period property with stables and outbuildings, a garage and driveway parking, set in over 17 acre grounds, including wrap around gardens and paddocks with equestrian potential, surrounded by open countryside. Set in lawned gardens overlooking paddocks and the surrounding rural landscape, this property was built as a farmhouse in the 1730s, and retains various agricultural outbuildings, some repurposed. The oldest part of the house is double fronted, built on a stone plinth, in red brick under a clay tile roof, with leaded casement windows, and a central front door with original decorative carvings. The classical Georgian style is also evident in the interior, particularly in the main staircase area, and a sense of the traditional farmhouse is obvious on the ground floor in exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace. A slightly later addition is the west part of the house, which extends from a gable end on the façade, and becomes a later weatherboarded west wing. The current owners have undertaken renovation with care for the integrity of the historic building, whilst making adjustments that facilitate modern family life.
