Set on about 5.15 acres (sts) in a private rural lane, this detached four-bedroom farmhouse is arranged over multiple floors and designed for equestrian use. The plot includes five recently built stables (2023) with power and lighting, a tack room, a shower/grooming bay with soakaway, two mobile field shelters and multiple paddocks — ready for practical day-to-day horse care. Most rooms enjoy open-field views and there is ample off-street parking, a garage and front and rear gardens.
The accommodation is spacious and traditional in feel, with a large lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor, and four good-sized bedrooms plus the family bathroom upstairs. The house benefits from double glazing and oil-fired central heating to radiators. At around 2,950 sq ft overall, the property offers scope for rearrangement or modernisation to suit contemporary equestrian-family living.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the walls are solid brick with no known modern insulation, heating is oil-fired (not a community supply), drainage is to a cess pit and soakaway, and the EPC rating is E. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are limited in this location. These factors, together with the property's age (circa 1950–1966), indicate likely ongoing running and upgrade costs but also present potential for value-add improvement or bespoke refurbishment.
This is a rare opportunity for families or equestrian buyers seeking a ready-made yard and substantial paddock acreage in a private countryside setting. Viewing is advised to appreciate the scale of the land, stable facilities and the property's potential for improvement or conversion subject to consents.
