3 bedroom detached house for sale

Perfect for the horse lover, this beautiful property has top of the range facilities. The large sitting room windows look out on to the expansive 8 acres of good quality, well drained grazing land (with the potential to purchase more) and the all-weather arena, which has been recently constructed at a cost of over £40, 000. The large barn houses 8 stables, ideal for your own horses and with the potential to take liveries. The stabling is flexible and can be arranged to suit the needs of the owner. Of course this needn t just be an equine property. There are many other potential uses for the barn such as storage, car maintenance or as a business facility.
The house itself is a beautiful traditional sandstone farmhouse surrounded by open fields. The large living space is perfect for entertaining and the extremely spacious bathroom will be a calming environment for a relaxing bath after a day with the horses. We see a lot of these properties and very often the farmhouse is neglected. Not here. This is a fine, elegant home with further potential for expansion should the buyer wish. Our client is not moving away from the site. She will renovate the adjacent farmhouse and remain closeby in other words, this is not a client who has fallen out of love with her farm, this is a client who wishes to give someone else the opportunity to enjoy the lifestyle she so loves.
This property is rural but not isolated and will make a fabulous lifestyle home for perhaps a client looking to escape the pressures of life in other more southerly parts of the kingdom!
