Set within over 9 acres of paddock, woodland and a fishing pool, this detached five-bedroom farmhouse is built around a working equestrian yard. The principal house offers two receptions, a farmhouse kitchen and two bathrooms; a self-contained one-bedroom annexe has independent heating and drainage, useful for grooms or separate guests. The site includes a flood-lit 20 x 40m sand-and-rubber menage, multiple stables, tack and feed rooms, office, garage and a large workshop — a turnkey platform for riding or livery use.
Practical positives include oil-fired central heating with radiators, double glazing and fast broadband; the property is chain-free and has no recorded flood risk. The land is split roughly between about 3.3 acres of woodland and fishing pool and c.5.2 acres of yard and paddocks, providing scope for grazing, hay production or small-scale diversification. A recent planning pre-application concluded that replacing the existing static cabin and siting an ancillary holiday cabin would be acceptable, offering potential for ancillary income subject to formal consent.
Be aware of material facts: the EPC is rated D, heating is oil-fed (not a community supply) and council tax is described as expensive. The location is private and peaceful but relatively remote — mobile signal is average and the wider area is classified as remoter/agricultural communities. Buyers should allow for routine equestrian and building maintenance and confirm any upgrades they may want, particularly heating and energy-efficiency improvements.
This property will suit equestrian households, hobby farmers or buyers seeking a rural smallholding with immediate equine facilities and development potential. It offers a rare combination of ready-to-use yard infrastructure, sizeable land and self-contained accommodation in a secluded setting close enough to larger settlements for practical access.
