5 bedroom house

Wheelersland is a well-proportioned family home constructed by the Wright family in the 1960's and has been occupied by the family ever since. It is now being sold by the Executors of the Estate. The property was run as a successful thoroughbred stud and bred some notable winning racehorses.

The house occupies a slightly elevated position and takes full advantage of its views over its garden and pastureland beyond. The welcoming galleried reception hall leads to the principal open plan drawing/dining room which provides a fabulous entertaining space. Beyond is a comfortable sitting room. In addition is a good size kitchen/breakfast room, off which is the utility, pantry, boiler room, cloakroom and access to the carport. A study and second cloakroom complete the ground floor.
To the first floor is the principal bedroom together with four further bedrooms, two bathrooms, shower room and W.C.

The house has the most wonderful atmosphere and, given the length of ownership, would benefit from some updating and remodelling. It also has redevelopment potential.

The property is approached over a tarmacadam drive, which leads to a turning area to the front of the house with a spur off leading to the stables and barns. The house sits virtually in the centre of its mature garden which is predominately to the south, beyond which are open views over the adjoining pastureland.

Equestrian facilities -
To the north of the house is an American style barn, within which are eight loose boxes including two foaling boxes, a feed store and tack room. Adjacent to the stables is an open fronted four bay concrete frame barn with a lean-to either side providing tractor and further storage. Beyond the barn is a timber-framed outbuilding providing useful machinery and general storage.

Land -
The pastureland is divided into seven enclosures all of which have field shelters and water.

Lot 2 -
Wheelers Cottage comprises a single storey cottage with its own separate access. Internally the cottage has a good size sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, three bedrooms and a bathroom, which again would benefit from some modernisation and updating.

Outside the cottage is surrounded by a garden, adjacent to which is a small area of pastureland amounting to approximately 0.65 acre.

The cottage also has redevelopment potential.
