About 100 acres of gardens, parkland, paddocks and woodland
Hargrove is an exceptional, privately sited country estate set within about 100 acres of landscaped gardens, parkland, paddocks and woodland. Built in 1995 and extended by the current owners, the main house offers generous, light-filled accommodation arranged over multiple floors, a principal suite with balcony and dressing room, and flexible reception rooms that flow to a large terrace and formal gardens.
The property is designed for country living and leisure: a steel-framed pool room (heated pool, hot tub, sauna, shower), extensive equestrian facilities with five stable boxes, fenced paddocks and an outdoor arena, plus three utility barns, workshop space and greenhouse. Hargrove Cottage (two bedrooms, two shower rooms) offers useful secondary accommodation for staff, guests, holiday letting or multi-generational use. The estate benefits from on-site renewable generation (solar panels and a wind turbine).
Practical considerations are direct and factual. Heating is oil-fired with radiator distribution; main EPCs are C (house) and E (cottage). Broadband speeds are very slow in this remoter location and council tax is described as quite expensive. The land participates in a Countryside Stewardship Scheme that expires end of 2024 and there are public footpaths crossing parts of the property.
This estate will suit buyers seeking seclusion, equestrian capability and large-scale garden interest — families, multi-generational households or buyer-investors looking for holiday-let potential. It is presented with strong leisure and outbuilding assets but also with rural-service trade-offs (fuel type, connectivity and running costs) that are important for ongoing budgets and lifestyle planning.
