Equestrian facility

Location, Location, Location! Set in its own private rural oasis of 20 acres (*TBV) of pasture and mixed woodland offering a chance to get away from it all, a detached 4 bedroom country and equestrian home perfectly located for fast commuting to London/M25 Motorway and for local village amenities while also enjoying the benefit of direct access to off road riding and country walks with no road work required.
First time on the market for 40 years, the property would benefit from some updating but is generally well maintained offering a blank canvas for any incoming buyer to make more of the existing accommodation either by way of extending or possibly with the creation of a new detached dwelling (subject to permissions). The current equestrian facilities at the location include: two timber stable blocks (7 loose boxes with fenced concrete yard), three further timber open fronted buildings (could be adapted to include more loose boxes), 20m x 40m post and railed riding arena, extensive level pasture land allowing for year-round turnout/hay crop plus picturesque wildlife
atural pond situated at the far end of the wildflower meadow creating a haven for local wildlife. The whole enjoys total privacy being approached from a 250-metre-long driveway accessed from a long private lane and being surrounded by large secluded gardens. If desired, there is space to add a tennis court and/or swimming pool at the location (Subject to permissions and removal of some of the trees within the grounds). N.B. removal of some of the trees surrounding the dwelling will also open up the vista allowing for views to be enjoyed over the land at the property yet still maintaining privacy at the location.
