Period farmhouse with excellent equestrian facilities.

Description

Shaws Farm is a fabulous period home dating from 1858 and set in approximately 4.3 acres. The property has been refurbished and updated in recent years and offers excellent living accommodation extending over 3400 sq ft, set in superb grounds with equestrian facilities.

Off the main entrance hall is a significant reception room with a central fireplace and two sets of doors opening on to a beautiful, light filled orangery. For more formal entertaining is a traditional dining room, there is a study and two cloakrooms. The impressive open plan kitchen is a memorable space with extensive cabinetry, central island, integrated appliances, an American fridge freezer and ample space to dine, entertain and relax. The kitchen is filled with natural light from the skylights and bifold doors opening on to the terrace and garden and paddocks beyond. Off the kitchen is a well appointed utility room and a pantry.

On the first floor are four wonderful double bedrooms all enjoying pleasant aspects across the grounds. Two of the bedrooms have large dressing rooms and en suite bath / shower rooms. Across the hall is a family bathroom with both bath and a shower.

Outside, there are lovely formal gardens with an ornamental pond and a paved area with a heated swimming pool, seating / lounge area, a timber framed pool house with an outdoor kitchen and adjoining shower room. The property has the benefit of excellent equestrian facilities with a number of post and rail fenced paddocks, fields, a well kept stable block and a tack room. There are a number of outbuildings including a garage block, a detached studio and a number of store rooms. The grounds offer spectacular views over many acres of open fields and common land.

Please note, planning was previously approved for an outdoor school of 40m x 30m. This planning has now lapsed.
