Description

This modern four-bedroom home is situated in an exclusive development surrounded by open countryside, with bespoke stables and approximately two acres of paddocks to the front of the house, along with plenty of accessible off-road riding. The property also offers the added benefit of planning (23/03373/HFUL) to create a fifth bedroom on the first floor and a fantastic open plan kitchen/family room. The property is set back behind a private driveway, with accommodation set over two floors under pitch tiled roofs. Inside, the entrance hall features wood flooring, a practical ground floor cloakroom, and leads to the two main wing of the home. On one side, the dual-aspect living room offers views over the private paddocks and rolling countryside at the front, while French doors at the rear open onto a spacious terrace. On the opposite side of the hall is the kitchen, benefiting from fitted units, with enough room for a full-sized range cooker and a window overlooking the paddocks. Behind the kitchen is a long worktop area with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, leading into a boot room with oak-fronted closets that provide ample storage. French doors open from here onto the terrace. The boot room also connects to a dining room, a versatile space that could alternatively serve as a study or playroom.

Upstairs, the first floor features four generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Three of the bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, and the second bedroom also has an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower and rainfall showerhead. The family bathroom boasts a modern suite with a bathtub. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, with a large dormer window offering sweeping views over the paddocks and countryside beyond.

In the west-facing rear garden, a large paved terrace stretches the full width of the house, providing ample space for seating and dining. The terrace overlooks a landscaped garden with a lawn, bordered by shrubs and greenery. At the back of the garden is a garden room, which could be converted into a home office, studio, or gym, and vegetable boxes and various fruit trees. Across from the house and garden are approximately two acres of private, fenced paddocks, accompanied by high-quality stables built by the current owners. The stable block includes three loose box stables, two integrated garage/storage areas, and a workshop with a high-spec kitchenette, offering yet another flexible space that could be used as a home office, studio, or gym. Additionally, planning permission is already in place for a 40m x 20m manège next to the stables.
