Gardens and grounds
The property is approached off a quiet lane through a pair of automatic gates that give access to a large sweeping gravel driveway with ample parking for cars and horse boxes.
The landscaped gardens are to the front and rear of the property and are mainly laid to lawn with established borders. The large terrace overlooks the sweeping lawn and
swimming pool, which has infinity views across the vale. The main stable block is built of Cotswold stone with 5 loose boxes, solarium, staff room and store / pump room. There
is also a well presented grooms flat. Beyond this, the track leads to a secondary stable yard and to the fields that are all stud fenced with water and electricity to all parts. At the end
is a period barn that, subject to planning, could be converted or used for stock / storage.
Across the lane, there is a timber stable with 4 loose boxes and a 50 x 25m all-weather arena with landscaped surrounds for viewing. Turn out paddocks, fenced to a high
standard, surround the arena and an access track leads to the banks that run down to the steam on the boundary. There is a secondary period farm barn that has potential for
other uses. The land is all down to permanent pasture and is post and rail fenced with water connected. In all about 29 acres.
