A charming two-bedroom period cottage set within approximately 4.5 acres of land, including established paddocks, and superbly positioned on the edge of a highly sought-after village.
The property is complemented by an extensive and well-appointed equestrian yard, offering significant potential for alternative or enhanced use (subject to the necessary planning consents). Equestrian facilities include eight attractive clunch stables, 13 additional loose boxes, a five-horse walker, and a lunge barn. Further outbuildings include a distinctive Grade II listed dovecot, adding considerable character and heritage appeal.
Approximately 3.8 acres of paddocks are located to the rear of the property, providing grazing. Altogether, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a period home with equestrian facilities in a popular village-edge location, offering both lifestyle appeal and future potential.
