The Dwelling
A large detached four-bedroom modern farmhouse providing generous living accommodation. Constructed in about 1987 of reconstituted stone elevations under a tiled roof, the house would benefit from a degree of modernisation. The accommodation comprises a farmhouse style kitchen, 3 reception rooms, 4 bedrooms on the first floor, 3 bathrooms and a large room on the ground floor, currently a snooker room with potential to become a separate annex.

The dwelling is subject to an agricultural and equestrian occupancy condition limiting its occupation to persons employed full time in the equestrian business on the property or full time locally in agriculture together with dependants of such persons.

The house is approached over a sweeping gravelled drive opening to a parking and turning area and a timber double garage. In front is a large sheltered garden which has become overgrown and beyond this running down to a brook is over 1 acre of garden planted with a fine mix of mature mixed broadleaf and conifer trees.

The Outbuildings
Two good outbuildings provide an exciting opportunity to operate an equestrian or agricultural business or diversify, subject to consent.

Modern Barn – a modern 11-bay American Barn of steel frame with concrete block elevations. Internally there are nineteen stalls with high concrete block dividing walls, a feed room, utility room and tackroom. The barn measures 41.1m x 10.6m (135’ x 34’8”).

The Land
Lying in a ring fence are five conveniently sized fields of level and gently sloping permanent pasture enclosed by thick hedgerow boundaries around the perimeter and stock fenced internal boundaries. The Grade 3 soil known as Fullers Earth is a slightly acid loamy clayey soil. A small brook runs through the land leading down to the Broad River which forms the northern boundary of the farm. There is about 36 acres of grazeable land.
