Description

This handsome and spacious family home was built in 2001 yet has a traditional appearance, with a double-fronted design and a pedimented front door in the Neo Georgian style. The detached red brick property is generously proportioned and filled with natural light, with almost 2300 sq ft of space over two floors. Internally the house is well presented, featuring a contemporary kitchen and neutral interiors which make the rooms easy to personalise. The house is the ideal family home and the outside space has superb equestrian facilities.

The entrance hall provides a welcoming first impression leading to the main reception rooms: a bay-fronted office, a living room with wood-burning stove and a sunroom extension to the rear which has views of the garden and stables. The kitchen and open plan dining room runs front to back, affording space for a dining table for relaxed family meals. There is also a utility room and cloakroom with WC. The upstairs rooms are equally sizeable and include two en suite double bedrooms, plus three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The Shire House is deceptively large, with most of the space located to the rear. The house has excellent kerb appeal, with a neat front garden enclosed by wrought iron railings and electric wooden gates to the side opening to the rear garden which features a paved patio and a number of shrubs. The garden adjoins the stable yard providing excellent visibility and security; the equestrian facilities include six stables, a feed shed, workshop and detached tack room, with additional storage within a series of barns. A wide, sweeping gravel driveway provides parking for cars and a horsebox, leading around to the paddocks which extend to about four acres. There is also an enclosed outdoor arena laid to sand and fibre, installed in 2019.
