General Description
Smiths Property Experts offer to the market this impressive and newly remodelled detached bungalow. Set in private gated grounds extending to approximately 5.5 acres. Including a newly completed equine facility with paddocks, a 20m x 40m top-quality arena, and a collection of outbuildings to include seven loose boxes, a hay store, an open barn, and a tack room.
There is also a substantial period brick barn with excellent conversion potential for annexed accommodation or similar. The property offers a unique opportunity to house a multigenerational family with on-site equine and smallholding facilities.
The Main House
The main house is presented in immaculate order throughout and has been entirely remodelled by the current owners over the past three years or so. The accommodation boasts updated central heating, new windows, and upgraded plumbing and wiring throughout. Expect to find ‘turnkey’ accommodation comprising, in brief, an entrance hall with direct rear garden access, a WC, a boot room, three good-sized bedrooms (two with separate en-suites), and favourable storage, including a large airing cupboard.
The main living space is exceptional and includes an open-plan, part handmade shaker-style ‘living’ kitchen with views out across the paddocks. There is also a window seat, a wood-burning stove, and internal glazed doors that open into a separate sitting room with direct garden access via bi-fold doors, creating a lovely ‘indoor-outdoor’ living environment. Of note is the principal bedroom, a large suite with a sitting area with French doors opening out onto the rear gardens. There is a dressing room and a large four-piece en-suite bathroom.
The main house affords a lovely private garden, filled with all-day sun, central lawns and a substantial patio terrace ideal for entertaining. In the right-hand corner is a fully insulated garden room, and running across the back of the space is a substantial detached brick barn believed to date back to the 19th Century. The barn is in good overall condition, with excellent storage and a double open carport area. The current owners have had plans drawn for converting the space into ancillary living accommodation.
The Grounds
The property occupies a private plot on a quiet lane and is accessed via newly installed electric gates to the front. There is a large gravel-laid driveway that wraps to the right-hand side of the main house with off-road parking for numerous vehicles.
The site extends to approximately 5.5 acres in all. Newly modelled into an excellent equestrian setup. There are seven rotationary paddocks, all post-and-rail fenced, and a modern yard with water and power. A Harlows timber-constructed stable block has recently been installed, with four good-sized loose boxes and a separate tack room. Behind the main yard are further timber loose boxes and a hay store. There is another area that offers private, secure parking should the eventual purchaser have boxes or commercial equine vehicles.
