Set back from the road and surrounded by mature hedgerows providing natural privacy, access is via timber five-bar gates leading into a driveway that accommodates ample parking while granting entry to paddocks, stables, and other outbuildings. The property features formal gardens enclosed by newly installed post-and-rail fencing alongside paddocks that are ready for equestrian use with secure access points provided. An orchard located at the rear hosts mature fruit trees, enhancing the rural charm. The attached barn offers additional storage facilities and can serve as garaging space; it comes equipped with power connectivity. This property not only benefits from an appealing setting but also direct links to bridleways and picturesque countryside—ideal for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits.
