Equestrian Facilities - A brick path curves around the house to the stable yard, discreetly served by its own vehicular access from School Lane.
The yard is home to seven loose boxes, including a foaling box, each fitted with rubber matting, automatic drinkers and all the practical touches that make daily work efficient and safe.
Alongside stands a hay barn and a waterproof shower unit, designed with drains in place and ready to take a gas shower or solarium if required. Beyond lies the all-weather arena, lit with LEDs for riding long after dusk.
The land is divided into paddocks, all but one with automatic water troughs. Boundaries are marked with timber post and rail fencing and softened by established hedging, giving structure, security and a sense of permanence to the landscape.
Key Features - HISTORY
At its core stands a part-timbered house thought to date back to the 16th century - five hundred years of architecture, preserved, loved and lived in.
METICULOUS CARE
Every beam, brick and roofline has been kept in order. Detailed records, including the survey commissioned when Pippa and David bought the house, speak of a culture of careful stewardship.
