An equestrian property located on the edge of the popular village of Barkway and just a short distance of Royston.
Description
Barkway Equestrian Centre is situated on the edge of the popular village of Barkway sat behind an impressive gated entrance and just a short distance from Royston. The property offers a fantastic opportunity with extensive equestrian facilities including a block built stable yard, large hay barn with covered lorry parking, arena, all weather turnout pens, lunge pens and well fenced level paddocks. Situated alongside the Barkway Golf Course.
The main house was built by the current owners in 1998 and is subject to a business tie to the Barkway Equestrian Centre, which is referenced under the Agents Note. The house benefits from its own access off the main drive and sits at a raised position overlooking the equestrian facilities and the beautiful countryside beyond. The property is full of natural light and well-proportioned with generous accommodation. There is potential scope to extend the existing accommodation further (STP). The property has been beautifully maintained by the current owners and enjoys a newly fitted contemporary en suite bathroom to the principal bedroom suite that has been fitted to the highest of standards. The remaining internal accommodation includes a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, living room, dining room, office, three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The garden is south facing with a large patio and extensive lawns to suit a family and pets.
The equestrian facilities themselves are well designed and offer an opportunity to develop further. Vehicular access is available from the drive which is separate to the main house. There is an excellent block built L-shaped stable block with concrete yard containing five stables, wash bay, large tack/day room, large feed room, laundry room and cloakroom. The yard is centred around an all-weather turnout pen. The hay and storage barn is accessible from the yard and this also enjoys full vehicular access with covered parking for a lorry. There are a number of other timber outbuildings, a lunge pen and rubber and sand arena 40 x 20m benefiting from floodlights, along with plenty of hardstanding for parking. Further potential for additional all weather turnout area adjacent to the arena (surface is already in place). There are eight fenced paddocks with mains water and electric fencing, with three field shelters. The plot extends to approximately 12 acres in total.
