Church Broughton

An equestrian's dream set up, from amateurs to professionals, this property would cater for all. It presents the perfect opportunity to leave the Livery Yard life behind and have all your animals and horses at home.

The home itself was constructed in 2020 and has a beautiful, bright large open-plan living area, including kitchen and dining area. Stairs lead down to the lower floor with two bedrooms and the family bathroom. Doors from each bedroom lead out to a private, sheltered courtyard garden.

To the front of the home is a neat lawned garden with BBQ and dining patio areas. Beside the parking area is a gate through to a well-maintained cottage garden. A short driveway leads to the equestrian area comprising 4 acres, where the large agricultural barn houses 5 stables and a tack room and feed room. The fields have been significantly upgraded and now include a 40m x 20m menage, paddocks and a mini cross-country set up.

There are walks and great pubs nearby including in Church Broughton, together with more amenities in Hatton. Off-road hacking and nearby all-weather gallops are additional bonuses to this home.

Front Of The Home - Accessed via a long drive, there is an off-road graveled parking area for up to four vehicles to park comfortably. A picket fence with timber gate opens into the front garden. Running along the front of the home is a wide dining patio area with plenty of space for summer barbecues too. It is a pretty brick and tile home surrounded by greenery in all directions. The two tier lawn at the front leads to a timber fence, behind which is discreetly positioned the oil tank. To the right of the home, the patio flows to a lawn on the south side of the home. A gate leads through to the well-stocked cottage garden, with raised flower beds and a shed, plus tremendous far reaching views from this plateau. A privet hedge forms the southern boundary. In front of the home, a driveway leads to the equestrian area 50 yards away (much more on that later!).

With oak flooring, crisp white decor and doors and windows to the east, south and west, this room is bathed in natural light.

The living area is at this southern end of the room. Double French doors lead directly out onto the west-facing dining patio, which gets the sun from mid-morning through to sunset. There is the aforementioned door to the cottage garden and an east-facing window. This part of the room has four high ceiling light fittings, a radiator and plenty of room for lounge furniture.

The dining area has plenty of room beneath the substantial roof trusses for a 6 or 8 seater dining table and chairs. The main door leads out to the dining patio and there's another east-facing window too, together with a radiator and space for coats above.

The beautiful country-style kitchen perfectly fits the style of the home. The central island has a solid oak worktop with breakfast bar and four deep cabinets. On the left, the long sweeping L-shaped worktop provides plenty of space for food preparation and positioning small appliances.

Beneath the worktop is an integrated dishwasher and washing machine, together with several other cabinets and useful deep pan drawers.

Bedroom One - 4.6 x 2.5 (15'1" x 8'2") - This beautiful main bedroom has oak veneer flooring and direct access to the courtyard garden through a timber-framed arch door.

Fitted wardrobes leave lots of space for bedroom furniture. Light oak veneer flooring, recessed spotlights, skirting boards and a high ceiling complete this bedroom, which is currently used as a guest room/home office.

Courtyard Garden - On the east side and so perfect for morning coffee and croissants, this garden is accessed from Bedroom One and Two. The long paved patio has a timber fence on all three sides. It's private and was filled with the sound of birdsong when we listed the home.

Equestrian Area - Stable Block - 17.8 x 9.45 (58'4" x 31'0") - This substantial agricultural barn is currently utilised as a large stable block - but, crucially, could also be used for a variety of uses including garaging for vehicles, sheep farming, a kennels/cattery and more besides.

The area also includes a tack room (12ft x 8ft), feed room and plenty of space for storage, vehicles and caring for the horses. The stables are insulated and there is plenty of internal and external lighting, plus electricity and running water supply.

Equestrian Area - Menage And Paddocks - The newly-created 40m x 20m menage has Mansfield sand and a combi-ride surface. The fields are paddocked with post and rope 3 strand fencing.
