The moment you arrive at this heart warming home, you’re instantly embraced by the essence of country living. Tucked away in a popular village setting, this inviting property greets you with its charming facade framed by mature trees.

Stepping inside, the warmth continues with cosy interiors echoing the comforts of traditional country life.

The ground floor begins with a selection of well appointed reception rooms.

At the heart of this space is the lounge - a spacious yet intimate living area balancing comfort with style. The room is beautifully anchored by an inviting open fire, its crackling warmth creating a cosy atmosphere that’s especially cherished during the chilly winter months.

Whether you’re enjoying a peaceful afternoon curled up in an armchair or a quiet evening with a hot drink by the fire, the snug is the ideal spot to relax and immerse yourself in the comfort of your surroundings.

The kitchen is truly the heart of the home - a blend of farmhouse style with modern touches. You can almost hear the sound of a kettle boiling on the stove, ready for afternoon tea while the scent of freshly baked bread wafts through the air.

Formerly a stable, the dining room carries a sense of history and character, with an original tie ring still in situ as a charming reminder of the building's past. The space has been beautifully transformed, blending rustic elements with elegant touches creating an inviting setting for memorable meals.

Adding a versatile element to this charming home is the ground floor bedroom and wet room. Thoughtfully designed, these spaces are ideal for accommodating less mobile family members, offering the convenience and comfort of single-level living. The bedroom is generously sized and can easily be tailored to suit individual needs, ensuring everyone can enjoy the home’s warmth and hospitality.

Beyond providing accessible living, these rooms also offer flexibility for other uses. The ground floor bedroom could easily be repurposed into a quiet home office, creative studio, or even a hobby room, while the wet room adds practicality and convenience. Whether used for guest accommodation, a private workspace, or a comfortable living arrangement for elderly relatives, this area brings adaptability and added value to the home’s overall layout.

The utility room completes the downstairs offering and is an absolute must for keeping your home organized and clutter-free. One of its best features is being able to close the door on the reminder of those chores, creating a clear division between work and relaxation. Whether you’re dealing with muddy boots, laundry, or simply need a place for everyday storage, the utility room is a true asset, making the practical side of country living easier to manage.

Moving up to the first floor, the landing introduces three beautifully presented bedrooms and a family bathroom. The highlight of this floor is the main bedroom, a visual delight that offers both style and tranquility. The vaulted ceiling instantly catches your eye, creating a sense of spaciousness and elegance, while also adding to the room’s airy and serene atmosphere.

Outside, the sense of serenity deepens. A beautifully kept garden offers a perfect spot for morning coffee on the patio, stretching into the distance you can enjoy views of your equine friends grazing in their paddocks. There’s a sense of calm as you watch them roam freely, or perhaps catch a glimpse of a curious head popping over the stable doors, adding to the charm of the scene.

The equestrian setup here is truly impressive, perfectly designed to meet the needs of any horse enthusiast. The stable block, featuring seven spacious stables, is well organised and practical, providing a comfortable and secure environment for your horses. The addition of a tack room offers ample space for storing horse wear, grooming brushes and all your riding gear, while the barn ensures you have plenty of room for feed, equipment and storage.

For riding, the 30x40 sand ménage is an invaluable asset, whether you're schooling, exercising or training for competitions. Its size and quality make it ideal for both flatwork and jumping practice. This setup caters to all levels, whether you’re a happy hacker enjoying leisurely rides through the countryside or a competitive rider focused on honing your skills. With everything you need at your fingertips, this property offers the perfect environment to live out your equestrian dreams.

As if this incredible home weren’t already impressive enough, there’s additional potential with the original barn located adjacent to the main house. The barn, a charming and historic structure, offers exciting possibilities for conversion. If the current vendor had chosen to stay, they would have applied for plans to transform this wonderful old building into living accommodation.

The proposed conversion features an open-plan layout on the ground floor, perfect for creating a spacious and versatile living area. Upstairs, two mezzanine bedrooms add a unique touch, providing a cozy and inviting space for guests. This could be an excellent opportunity for extra guest accommodation or even a holiday let, offering both flexibility and potential for generating additional income.

With the right planning permissions, this conversion could significantly enhance the property’s appeal, adding even more value and functionality to an already exceptional home.

The vendor has also explored the potential of developing the two-acre paddock adjacent to the house, which benefits from road frontage. Given that other parcels of land along the road have successfully been granted for development, this site might also hold significant potential.

Local developers have indicated that, with the right approvals, there is the possibility of constructing four executive homes on this plot. The advantageous location and existing development trends in the area suggest that this could be a viable option.

If pursued, this development opportunity could add substantial value to the property, offering the potential for both residential growth and investment. As always, any plans would be subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and approvals from local authorities.

Whether it’s pottering in the garden, enjoying countryside rides on your horse, or simply soaking in the peace of rural life, this home is a true equestrian haven. The charm and simplicity of country living are felt in every corner, creating a sanctuary where you can fully embrace the tranquil, outdoor lifestyle. This property seamlessly blends comfort with functionality, offering a picturesque setting for all your equestrian dreams and the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and fulfilling country life.

Offered with no onward chain, this home is ready to be snapped up by its next countryside admirer. With the potential for immediate occupancy and a seamless transition, you can move in and start enjoying the charm and serenity of rural living without delay. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property that combines equestrian facilities, scenic beauty, and comfortable country living - all set against the backdrop of a welcoming community.
