The Property 
Mole Hill Farm is a substantial detached house constructed seven years ago by the current owners and finished to a high specification with superb equestrian facilities and stunning views.  

There is a two bedroom holiday cottage within the boundary of the property, retained by the current owner and available via separate negotiation. 

The main property spans three floors, offering flexible living accommodation enhanced by high-quality finishes. Features include a surround sound system throughout the home, underfloor heating in most rooms, a comprehensive CCTV camera system, contemporary bathrooms, and a well-appointed kitchen. The equestrian facilities include a stable block with sixteen boxes, a barn with an additional six boxes, tack room, grooms kitchen, and office. There is also grazing land and an outdoor arena.  

The front door opens into a spacious and open-plan reception hall, establishing an inviting and fluid space that connects with the dining room. The spaces are neatly divided by a striking central brick fireplace equipped with a dual aspect multi-fuel stove. The limestone floor has underfloor heating which runs throughout the ground floor to the main reception rooms. The windows are a mixture of stone mullions and oak framed leaded panes, and a Cliffy Chapman limestone staircase with attractive wrought iron balustrading leads to the first floor. Double oak doors lead in to the drawing room/media room which is fitted with a range of Macassar ebony wood cabinets and display shelving, and a wall mounted wood-burning fire. There are uninterrupted views over the gardens and countryside beyond. 

The spacious, dual aspect breakfasting kitchen is fitted with a range of Herrington Gate furniture in Pippy oak and walnut and a dresser with a painted finish, with complementary granite work surfaces incorporating Siemens ceramic hob, conventional oven, and dishwasher. The Sub Zero American-style fridge freezer and wine cooler are built in to a walnut garage, and there is a four-oven electric Aga. 

Steps lead down to the garden room, which has fabulous views over open countryside and a sandstone fireplace housing a Jøtul LPG gas stove. Off the kitchen is a rear hallway with access to the ground floor cloakroom/WC and utility/boot room which has matching units to the kitchen with plumbing for a washing machine. 

Stairs lead from the reception hall to the first floor landing, which is flooded with natural light, where there is a study with a feature window and deep window seat. The master bedroom leads off the main landing into a dressing room which is fitted with bespoke shelving. Opposite is the en-suite bathroom with stone bath, twin vanity basins set on a walnut storage unit, large walk-in cubicle with rain shower, WC, and TV set in to the wall. The bedroom has parquet flooring, a contemporary wall-mounted gas fire, and has stunning views. 

There are two further bedrooms, both with dressing rooms, parquet flooring and built in walnut and sycamore dressing tables, which share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a contemporary white suite comprising bath, separate shower, twin vanity basins set on a walnut storage unit and WC. 

A further staircase leads to the second floor leisure suite currently used as a hobby/TV room with a fitted bar featuring fridge, built-in wine cooler and sink. Completing the accommodation is a WC, and the plant room housing the oil-fired boiler and hot water cylinder. 

Externally 
Mole Hill Farm is approached through electric double gates along a graveled driveway leading to a generous parking and turning area. There is an additional electric access gate to the rear of the property. Directly in front of the main house is an attractive cobbled turning circle. There are sweeping lawns to the rear of the property with fabulous views, a large pond, outdoor arena and brick outhouse concealing the oil and LPG tanks. There is grazing land of approximately 16 acres directly behind the property, and a stable block and yard with 16 loose boxes nearby. There is also a large barn with 6 further loose boxes, tack room, grooms kitchen and an area which is currently separated off and used as a dog grooming parlour.  

The stable benefits from planning permission for holiday let conversions, offering an alternative development prospect for those who might not be enthusiastic about equestrian pursuits.
