5 bed country house for sale

Buscot SN7

Welcome to Snowswick Farm - a home, a showpiece, and equestrian centre together with sixteen wonderful acres of land for children, horses, dogs and even parents to run amok!

The House

The home is where the heart is and does this home have a heart! This is truly a getaway from it all and bring your family and your greatest friends with you affair. Tennis? Check! Swimming? Check! Horses, countryside walks with the dogs, cozy long winter evenings in front of the fire, check, check check!

Snowswick Farm offers a range of living rooms that, aside from the drawing room and kitchen, can be used as you, the owner, sees fit. At the moment we have the dining room between the kitchen and the drawing room - logical. But there's another lovely room at the front and side of the house with a vaulted ceiling and beautiful views across the fields. Could this be the dining room... Or a lovely snug. With tons of windows, loads of light, it would make a great space as an artists studio or a gym... A pilates space, why not? You decide, obviously. And of course there should be a study... And there is, a study. And a boot room. A 'smart' loo for the guests and another for when you've been out in the garden. These things are important.

The drawing room: A sizeable room of two halves, the front and back. Both with beautiful fireplaces. One end to sit and relax, the other to play billiards, or the piano. Certainly a fabulous space for a party.

The kitchen: Large enough of course to accommodate a decent sized dining table and the all-important island where friends can (and definitely will) gather with a bottle or two of something wonderful whilst you prepare a course of two of something delicious from the triple Aga. And yes, the tiled floor does have underfloor heating.

Then upstairs we have bedrooms - five in all - and three bathrooms that need little in the way of description. They all have wonderful rural views. The main bedroom is double aspect and has a dressing room between it and the rather splendid bathroom complete with slipper bath and a rather lovely fresco of Snowswick Farm seem from afar to remind you where you are. Across the landing from the main bedroom is a smaller bedroom, probably ideal as either a nursery or as I heard it described rather charmingly, a 'snoring' room for husbands.

Two further double bedrooms share a bathroom and then at the far end of the house is a bedroom with bathroom en-suite and airconditioning and access to a small staircase that leads back downstairs. Great for those guests who like to sneak downstairs to the kitchen for a midnight snack!

Outside

There's plenty going on as you might expect with a house like this. The fun stuff is situated to the rear of the house where we have a heated swimming pool (note: A little refurbishment work needed here) complete with working plant room and changing room, a hard surface tennis court (built 2017), an extremely pleasant patio/party area, a small orchard (apples, pears, cherries & plums) a fruit cage and a small kitchen garden.

Equestrian Facilities

Set way from the house, the equestrian centre beriefly comprises eight loose boxes, tack room, feed room, solarium and wash room all set around a stable yard. There is a menage (30M X 40M), electric horse walker and tractor barn. There is also an open barn over which is a building that was, we understand, intended to be living accommodation for staff.

The Land and Other Information

The remainder of the sixteen acres comprises five grazing fields and a small pond that doubles up as an overflow for the 'wet' cellar.

Heating: The central heating and hot water runs from an oil fired boiler. The Aga and pool is powered by a low pressure gas system.

The house is not listed.

There is an adt alarm system.

There is a fully integrated Sonos system throughout the whole house.

Welcome to Snowswick Farm and we can't wait to show you around!
