Property Details

A rare opportunity to purchase an equestrian property set in stunning grounds with numerous outbuildings, sheds, storerooms, stables and barn extending over 6,500sq ft. Set within 1.5 acres of garden and looking onto the 6.5acres of green-belt fields.
Steep Acre Farm, Windlesham Road is a superb example of an early two storey, four bay house with a narrow central smoke bay where the chimney rises, all dating from the sixteenth century with late nineteenth century extension to the right end. The timber framing of the upper storey on the road side is pleasantly irregular and accentuated by the medieval hipped roof, gablet and arch braces which add to the property’s charm.

The Grade II Listed Hunting Lodge is well constructed and its square panelled symmetry impressive, highlighted by the surrounding, mature landscaped gardens and over-arching ash tree which leads to the larger than average swimming pool.
The main residence is improved from its original construction by a new entrance and features quarry tile on the ground floor, extending to the main room with its impressive deep brick fireplace, further to its smaller twin in the second reception room with its accompanying wood burning stove and "bun-oven".
The large kitchen is tiled and in character with the property, benefiting from a five door, four oven AGA and leading to the snug.
Steep Acre Farm is perfectly suited to an equestrian family with six 12’x12’ stables, two 17’x12’ foaling boxes and a 24’x11.8’ space providing ample hay storage, all in double line wood. Two further 12'x12' rooms serve as a feed room and tack room, and the open shed add to the functionality of the facilities.
The property is entered through a gravel drive and through the gates is a double garage before the driveway curve finds a further four car-ports.

The impressive barn offers huge development potential to match its size and has a 24’x15’ mezzanine over its studio which features a simple kitchen and bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
The garage, stables, barn and storage rooms are joined as a horseshoe around the sunken garden and end at the home side in a 19’x10’ office which looks onto the stone centre piece with a further utility room completing the structure.
