Trentfield Farm is a charming riverside smallholding near Church Laneham, offering a spacious farmhouse, equestrian facilities, and currently operating a high-end caravanning & camping site.

Description
Trentfield Farm is a tranquil residential smallholding, beautifully situated to the north of the hamlet of Church Laneham, directly on the banks of the River Trent. This unique property currently operates as a high-end caravanning and camping site, while also offering a substantial farmhouse, equestrian facilities, and extensive grounds totalling approximately 23.43 acres.

The heart of the property is a beautifully presented three-bedroom farmhouse, offering around 2,500 square feet of living accommodation with clear potential for further extension. Entry is via French doors from the courtyard into a spacious open-plan breakfast room that seamlessly integrates the kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating a warm and welcoming central hub. The living and dining room is generously sized, featuring another set of French doors that open onto the rear garden, with ample space for two sofas and a dining table.

The kitchen is well-equipped with a range of floor and wall units, providing excellent storage, and is centred around a Rangemaster oven set within an ornate brick surround. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room with a WC, which leads to a boot room and internal access to the garage. The dining room, with its dual aspect and character features such as exposed timber beams and a brick fireplace, adds further charm. These features are echoed in the snug, currently used as a home gym.

Upstairs, the first floor is accessed via a staircase from the living room, leading to a large landing that doubles as a sitting area. With a pitched ceiling and large rear-facing windows, this space is filled with natural light and offers views over the garden. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, with vaulted ceilings and dual aspect windows that flood the room with light. It includes space for wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The other two bedrooms, a good-sized double and a large single, are located on the opposite side of the landing. The single bedroom also benefits from an en suite, and there is a family bathroom with a corner bath and separate shower.

Adjoining the farmhouse is a triple garage and a two-storey traditional range. Although currently unconverted, this building previously had planning permission for conversion and presents an exciting opportunity for additional accommodation, such as an annex or holiday let, subject to the necessary consents. A single-storey return range has been converted into an office and reception area for the caravanning and camping business. Together, the farmhouse, traditional range, and office form a charming courtyard enclosed by a brick wall, creating a private and sunny outdoor space.

Opposite the office is a modern toilet and shower block, complete with washing and laundry facilities, an ideal amenity for campsite guests. Behind this building is a static caravan used for seasonal worker accommodation. Adjacent to the garage and traditional range is a secure hardstanding yard, offering excellent parking for multiple vehicles. A large barn with roller shutter doors at both ends provides ample storage for equipment, machinery, or forage.

The equestrian facilities are extensive and well-appointed, including 14 stables, all with rubber matting, feed room, tack room and rug room. There is also a Claydon horse-walker with rubber floor, a floodlit outdoor arena with rubber surface, and a lunge pen.

The grassland extends to approximately 21.09 acres, with parcels to the north and south of the property currently used for caravanning and camping. These areas could easily be returned to grazing or haymaking if desired. The remaining land lies to the east of the property, running alongside the River Trent, and offers excellent summer grazing.

Trentfield Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile and picturesque property that combines residential charm, equestrian excellence, and commercial potential in a stunning riverside setting.
