Sergeants Farm is accessed off a quiet, secluded country lane, through private electric gates over a shingle driveway which leads to the outbuildings and an expansive area of parking and double garage to the front of the house, with lawned gardens beyond. The house and buildings occupy a substantial plot of approximately 8 acres, predominately enclosed by mature mixed hedgerow and established trees. Immediately to the rear of the house is a wide, paved Italian Porcelain terrace featuring a beautifully kept swimming pool with electric cover, beyond which are laid-to-lawn gardens and the L-shaped outbuildings.
The outbuildings comprise a bar and entertaining space leading directly to the pool area, along with a shower room, sauna, gym and an impressive and versatile room ideal for use as an at-home cinema. Most of the equestrian facilities lie to the east of the house, which include a feeding box and tack room and five stables, with an outdoor area to the front of the house. The remainder of the land is separated into paddocks with post and rail fencing, the whole creating a wonderful setting for equestrian pursuits or just quiet enjoyment.
Set in 8 acres.
Nestled between the Stour and Colne Valley on the Essex/Suffolk border, the property sits on the fringes of the small village of Mount Bures which has a thriving community spirit and amenities including a church, nature reserve and popular public house, The Thatchers Arms, all surrounded by a network of public footpaths and riding routes.
The nearby market towns of Sudbury, Halstead and Colchester offer a wide range of independent and high street shopping, supermarkets, medical services and entertainment/leisure facilities.
