5 bedroom house

** FANTASTIC EQUESTRIAN FACILITY ** MODERNISED FORMER FARM HOUSE ** UP TO 5 BEDROOMS, 4 RECEPTIONS ** ANNEXE-STYLE FACILITIES ** FORMAL GARDENS & PADDOCKS ** TOTAL PLOT APPROX 8.6 ACRES **

We have pleasure in offering to the market this fantastic equestrian facility incorporating a tastefully refurbished former farm house and gardens, with an extensive range of paddocks and outbuildings the total plot extending to approximately 8.6 acres, with ample parking for horseboxes, trailers etc.

This unique period home offers a considerable level of versatility and provides up to five bedrooms and two bathrooms, four receptions and a well proportioned main kitchen with generous utility and ground floor cloakroom off.

Within the house there is a second kitchen and this area of the home has been utilised in the past for extended families as it provides almost separate annexe style facilities, perfect either for teenagers, dependent relatives or in its current guise has been used as a short-term tenanted property providing additional income.

The property is tastefully presented throughout and has been sympathetically modernised, offering attractive timber casement double glazed windows, oil fired central heating, contemporary fixtures and fittings and neutral decoration throughout.

One of the main selling points of this property is its stunning level plot in a semi-rural setting but still located within easy reach of the wealth of amenities of Grantham and the nearby villages of Allington and Bottesford.

The property offers two entrances with initial parking directly to the front of the house, electric gated access leads onto a sweeping driveway which arrives at the rear of the property.

The formal gardens are mainly laid to lawn but well stocked with established trees and shrubs and lead on to level grass paddocks.

This fantastic equestrian opportunity has post and rail paddocks, an all weather floodlit arena and a fantastic American barn with Cheval internal stabling, currently laid out as seven stalls with automatic water troughs, tack room, hay store and wash bay with a solarium. This could also provide potential for additional income from liveries.

The property is located close to Arena UK, with local bridleways and is situated within the Belvoir and South Notts hunt country.

Overall the only way to truly appreciate the location, features and accommodation on offer is by internal inspection.

Barrowby is a thriving village well equipped with local amenities including a primary school, public house, local shop and butchers. The village lies close to the A52 and A1 providing good road access and is a short drive from the market town of Grantham from where there are trains to Kings Cross in just over an hour. There are also excellent shopping facilities in Grantham and grammar schools.
