Set within almost 23 acres of paddocks, woodland and gallop, Manor Lodge is a substantial Tudor‑Revival country house tailored to equestrian owners and large families. The main house offers expansive reception rooms, a bespoke open‑plan breakfast kitchen, a principal suite with dressing area and balcony, plus a semi‑annexed one‑bed unit ideal for guests or staff. Outside there are 5–6 stables, tack and feed rooms, a kitchenette, a 30×50m outdoor arena, a 20m lunge ring and extensive turnout paddocks with automatic water troughs.
The layout suits owner‑occupiers who need flexible living and high‑quality horse facilities; the site’s separate vehicular access and ample parking make running a small equestrian business feasible. Mature tree belts and multiple gated entrances give strong privacy and direct bridleway access for miles of outriding. There is scope to enhance the estate’s value by modernising internal finishes and improving energy efficiency.
Important practical points: the house is oil‑heated with radiator boiler, drains to a septic tank, has double glazing fitted after 2002, and solid brick walls that appear uninsulated. Broadband is very slow and the property carries a high council tax band. These are realistic running‑cost and upgrade considerations for prospective buyers.
For buyers seeking a private country estate with ready‑made equestrian infrastructure and significant development or refurbishment potential, Manor Lodge offers a rare combination of size, seclusion and amenities. It will particularly suit family buyers who want immediate facilities for horses and space for flexible household arrangements.
