Description

Oakhanger Farm provides two beautifully refurbished Grade II listed houses; The Barn and The Mill Store, and extensive equestrian facilities with a total of 19.5 acres. It is approached via a long graveled drive bridging Oakhanger Stream with paddocks on either side

The Barn
The Barn is a Grade II listed former active farm barn and corn store which has been superbly converted into a magnificent family home with over 4000 sq ft of accommodation. Throughout the finish is of a very high standard with many of the Grade II listed period features, including the beautiful original vaulted oak beams, having been carefully renovated to create an outstanding, unique home. The oak finish continues across the property with all doors, window frames and the kitchen blending in seamlessly.

The front door brings your directly into the vaulted ‘great hall’ living space with a generous area for seating set before a 21 kilowatt log burner. There is also an area for dining with doors on either side giving access to the garden and terrace.
Adjoining the living space is a boot room, which connects to a laundry room and further connects to a cloakroom. From the cloakroom there is access back into the main barn.
The kitchen is open to the great hall and is fitted with bespoke hand crafted, hand painted kitchen cabinetry with oak worktop and breakfast bar seating. There are built in appliances including built under fridge and freezer, two dishwashers, a Lacanche range oven and American fridge/freezer. Adjoining the kitchen is a walk in larder. Throughout all of the living space is a handsome stone floor, which is very much in keeping with the barn’s history and is fitted with underfloor heating.
From the dining space and via a step up there is a home office area, which flows through to a secondary sitting room with log burner.

A glazed link connects the barn to the former corn store which has been converted to house four bedrooms and three bathrooms (two which are en suite).
The principal bedroom is accessed via its own stairway from the study on a mezzanine level and has a view that overlooks the main living space and a bathroom located on the ground floor with a separate walk in shower. All the bathrooms very well presented.

To the rear of the property there is a boiler room, housing the two mains gas boilers and water tank. Throughout, the lighting is managed by a Wise Box system, the heating is controlled by a Honeywell Evohome system, and all the windows are triple glazed. There is fibre broadband wired to the property.

Garden
The front garden has been formally planted with raised beds which creates a grand arrival in front of the converted barn. On the eastern side of the barn there is level area of garden laid to lawn and a raised decked terrace. On the south western side of the barn there is a walled area of garden, which is a perfect setting for alfresco entertaining with an area of low seating set around a fire pit and also a raised area of decking as a dining area. Accessed via the drive is a workshop within one of the original farm outbuildings.

Mill Store Cottage
The former Mill Store has been thoughtfully converted to excellent secondary accommodation. Comprising a comfortable living area and kitchen with two bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. The Mill Store is currently let on an assured short hold tenancy at a rent of £1,250 per month and therefore can either be an investment of available for the owner’s use.

Equestrian Facilities
Oakhanger Farm offers first rate professional quality equestrian facilities including 21 stables in total with 14 outdoor stables split into 3 smaller yards, all of which have vehicular access, and a beautiful equestrian barn with 7 large stables, 2 wash down bays, a solarium, tack room, feed room, kitchen and bathroom with shower.

The arena has the added benefit of floodlighting and full planning permission to use them well into the evening, which allows riders to jump 140 even at 9 o’clock at night. There is also permission for a new stabling barn which will act as an extension to the existing barn and will allow Oakhanger Farm to cement itself as a premier equestrian facility.

The paddocks are all properly fenced and due to the sandy content of the ground drain exceptionally well, allowing for year-round turnout. The current owners enjoy an informal agreement with the neighbours, to use their field as a canter track, this also provides access to the common which means that no road work it required when hacking out from Oakhanger Farm. There are numerous bridle paths enabling extensive countryside rides in the locality.

There is also a horse walker, a cross country practice course and a large area of hard standing, perfect for parking lorries and other ground maintenance vehicles.

The equestrian facilities are available as a significant investment opportunity or for sole use by the purchaser.

Services: Mains gas and electric. Gas fired underfloor heating. Private drainage.
