Set within over eight acres of paddocks and approached by a private track and double gates, Leggatts Farm is a rare Grade II listed five-bedroom farmhouse blending period character with serious equestrian capability. The principal rooms include a large open-plan kitchen/dining area and a lounge with a log burner; practical spaces such as a boot room and laundry suit country living. The property is offered chain free.
The equestrian facilities include three stables with rubber matting, a tack room, covered hay/bedding store and a 20m x 40m outdoor rubber-surface ménage. Land and stables enjoy separate access and direct turnout to paddocks, with scope to expand the yard. The paddocks total around 5 acres of grazing, providing all‑year turnout for horses.
Outside, mature lawns, a heated outdoor swimming pool and summer house create a strong leisure offering. A former tennis court remains and could be restored, repurposed or used as additional hard-standing. Some fencing around the ménage requires minor restoration and the stables/yard present clear scope for improvement or expansion.
As a Grade II listed building, the house offers attractive period features but will bring planning and alteration constraints; listed status may complicate extensions or significant internal changes. Transport links are strong for a rural hamlet — fast trains to London and easy M11 access — and a selection of well-regarded state and independent schools are within commuting distance, making this suited to families who need countryside space without losing connectivity.
