Langford Farm

A most attractive and versatile equestrian property set in approximately ten and a half acres of mature gardens and paddock land, with extensive equestrian facilities including an Olympic sized arena, stables, outbuildings and swimming pool, situated in the New Forest National Park.

Located within the New Forest National Park, which offers unlimited recreational and riding facilities, with renowned sailing facilities within easy reach along the coast. With both the villages of Bartley and Ashurst there are village stores, pharmacy, post office, schools and public houses within easy access and the mainline railway station at Ashurst provide access to London.

This substantial detached modern property, constructed circa 2007, is built of brick elevations under a pitched tiled roof and has been designed with a wonderful open plan arrangement to suit modern family life with under floor heating to the ground floor.

A covered oak framed storm porch leads into the impressive double height reception hall with an oak staircase leading to the galleried landing and a feature of this area is the magnificent brick fireplace and flagstone flooring that extends through to the spacious, dining hall and open plan drawing room.

A state of the art surround sound cinema system has been installed within the drawing room to enable use as a fully working media room with surround sound, large screen, projector and further benefits from remote control blinds.

The beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of eye and base level storage cupboards, display units and drawers with granite work surfaces over and oak central island. From here french doors lead out to the rear terrace with hot tub and garden. A useful large boot room/utility with shower room offset is accessed from the kitchen and has access to the outside parking area for 7 vehicles with electric zappi charger installed.

From the hallway, a dual aspect study leads through to versatile kitchen facilities and snug/bedroom with en-suite shower room. This space has access to a private rear and side garden and would be ideal for dependent relatives or to generate additional income if required. This garden is newly decked with a partially above ground 16 foot swimming pool with solar heating.

Stairs lead to the first floor accommodation which offers 4 double bedrooms all with built in wardrobes. An impressive dual aspect principle bedroom offers a dressing area and an en-suite bathroom, a further guest bedroom also benefits from an en-suite bathroom, with two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom completing the first floor accommodation.

Wrought iron gates lead through to the property and gravelled driveway which provides off street parking for numerous cars. Planning permission has been granted for the erection of a double car barn to the right of the house plus planning for a 15 sqm single storey ‘music room’ to the left of the building.

Set across from the property, a large barn is currently used for storage predominantly but has scope and potential to further develop, subject to the New Forest National Park Planning authority.

The large secluded rear garden, approaching one acre, is enclosed and bounded by mature trees providing screening and privacy from the lane. The garden is mainly laid to level lawn with a selection of fruit trees and shrubs with a large terrace abutting the rear of the property providing for entertaining and dining areas. A BMW limited edition hot tub is available by separate negotiation if required.

A separate section of garden is apportioned for the swimming pool and sun deck, a covered aviary and formal vegetable gardens.

Agents Note: 

There is a 10 year build certificate available for a 3 bedroom Log Cabin to be erected within the rear grounds.

Langford Farm provides extensive equestrian facilities which can be accessed either from the main driveway or via separate gated access off Paradise Lane.

In total the property offers approximately 10.5 acres of paddocks and grazing land. The land is split into four main paddocks with post and rail fencing and electric mains fencing with self-filling troughs to each field.

There are numerous outbuildings which support the land and offer several options to continue to use the property as a commercial venue for equestrian events, as a livery yard, office rental and with potential to continue the substantial income streams.
