Set within a gated 4.3-acre plot on Upper Hoar Cross Road, Fairview is a characterful detached cottage with genuine equestrian and smallholding credentials. The house has been extended and upgraded over time and offers flexible family accommodation alongside a self-contained one-bed annexe — ideal for multigenerational living, staff, or rental income. Formal south-facing gardens and a Juliet balcony from the master suite take full advantage of the paddock and rolling countryside views.
The property includes extensive outbuildings: four stables, a large barn with three 15ft bays, garaging, a covered car port and a detached twin-bay coach house with conversion potential (subject to planning). The paddocks total 3.8 acres, arranged in three fields with internal access — well set up for equestrian use or small-scale grazing. Ornate electric gates, a large yard and off-street parking complete the picture for buyers needing secure storage and vehicle space.
Fairview has been maintained to a high standard but some changes will require consent. The coach house and other outbuildings offer real scope for conversion subject to the necessary permissions (STPP). Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow in this location and council tax is described as quite expensive. Mobile signal is average — factors to weigh if home-working or high-speed connectivity is essential.
This is a rare chance to buy a spacious rural holding close to local amenities, ‘Outstanding’ schools and commuter routes. It will suit buyers seeking a family home with equestrian facilities, someone looking to create additional accommodation from existing buildings, or purchasers wanting an adaptable country estate.
