Mill House Farm, Hougham Mill Lane, Marston, Grantham, NG32

An impressive four bedroom equestrian property with superb facilities and a four-bedroom Victorian house, situated on the edge of the rural village of Marston.

Description

Mill House Farm presents a fabulous opportunity for a professional equestrian, or keen amateur, to acquire a well-established and very well maintained property with all the desired facilities for equestrian use. The property is set within about 13.04 acres of land, including paddocks and stabling. There is good hacking around the surrounding villages, bridlepaths and byways. The property is well situated for access to some of the UK’s leading competition venues, including Arena UK (approx. 4.5 miles), Elms Farm Equestrian (approx. 7.2 miles) and Vale View (approx. 25.7 miles). The nearby A1 provides fast access to additional training and competition facilities.

The detached Victorian house is well situated within the grounds, with lovely views out over the surrounding paddocks and the arena to the rear. The house has been extensively updated, though still retaining some original features. The décor is bright and modern, complementing the style of the home and the rural setting, with plenty of scope for personalisation. Families will appreciate the three generous reception rooms on the ground floor and the homely kitchen, with its adjoining stores and separate utility room. On the first floor there are four good-size double bedrooms, three of which are en suite.

Mill House Farm is situated down a quiet, private lane on the rural southeastern fringe of Marston. The lane crosses the river Witham to a large gravel driveway in front of the house, which is bordered by attractive mature gardens. There is a gravel terrace to the rear overlooking the outdoor school and paddocks. The stables are situated next to the house within a sheltered, enclosed block; the stables face inwards to an internal courtyard with windows to the outside increasing ventilation, and the block includes tack room, feed and storage rooms and a wash bay. In addition there is a large open-fronted barn suitable for tractor storage, bedding and hay. There is also a weighbridge, Claydon five-horse horse walker, a floodlit 50x25m (approx.) arena with rubber fibre and sand surface and lorry parking.
