It offers a rare combination of privacy, scale and flexibility, with a fully equipped equestrian holding, exceptional leisure facilities, and adaptable multigenerational accommodation, all within a highly private and mature setting. Extending to over 4,500 sq ft, the estate functions seamlessly as both a principal residence and a lifestyle holding, with clear potential for income-flexible use if required.

The formal dining room connects directly to a private courtyard, creating an ideal setting for entertaining. This leads through to a versatile family room, which links seamlessly to the utility room, boot room, and ground floor shower room — ideal for country living and outdoor pursuits. At the heart of the home is the kitchen and breakfast room, a warm and functional space featuring bespoke cabinetry, a classic Aga, central breakfast bar, and generous dining area.
