4 bedroom equestrian property for sale

PROPERTY The property is a charming period house, originally a cottage on the Wattlefield Hall Estate. It has been substantially extended and modernised in recent years and now offers spacious, versatile and very well-presented accommodation.

Electric timber gates open to a gravel driveway offering parking for several cars. The front door opens to the entrance hall off which is a spacious ground floor bedroom with door to the garden and an ensuite shower room. There is a well appointed utility room with a door to the garden. A step from the hall leads into the inner hall with the stairs to the first floor, door to the sitting room and glazed double doors to the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen forms the principal area of the extension and is impressive. It is double aspect and fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units including an island. French doors open on one side to the terrace. The kitchen is open to the sitting room with its feature brick fireplace. A door leads to the official entrance hall and formal front door. There is a cloakroom. Off the hall is an impressive drawing room with exposed timbers, fireplace and large bay window.

On the first floor are three vaulted bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room. Therefore every bedroom in the house is afforded a bath/shower room, albeit not ensuite.

The gardens wrap around the house and are laid to lawn. There is also a summer house. An independent drive from the road leads to the stable yard with an impressive building consisted of 6 well-appointed stables, attached barn and a w.c.

The grounds of the property are a real delight and the house is well placed within the grounds. There is an area of woodland at the heart of the plot which in turn is bordered by 5 ring fenced paddocks, each with a water supply. There is tractor/vehicle access around all the paddocks. In the far corner of the plot there is a separate road access.
