Woodhayes is an attractive equestrian family home offering exceptional potential, set within about three acres in a popular rural position.
In the same ownership for over 55 years the property provides a rare opportunity to create a superb country house tailored to individual requirements. It is offered to the market with no onward chain and ripe for further improvement.
Approached via a long private driveway, Woodhayes enjoys an appealing first impression, with an open paddock stretching out to the front of the house. There are two separate entrances off Russ Hill, allowing excellent access for equestrian vehicles independent from the main approach.
The house benefits form 3299 sq ft of flexible accommodation and offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms upstairs.
Downstairs there are five reception rooms (living room, study, dining room, utility room (including a toilet), workshop/creative room) and kitchen/breakfast room plus a conservatory.
There is parking for numerous vehicles, together with garaging and a range of barns, ideal for storage, workshops or further adaptation.
The equestrian facilities are a key feature of the property, including a sand school, paddocks and stabling with three large stables, making it well suited to both private riders and those seeking to run a small equestrian enterprise.
The gardens are charming, with a lovely variety of specimen trees and mature shrubs creating year round appeal. A greenhouse and useful garden shed sit discreetly within the grounds, and a gate leads directly through to the paddock beyond. A natural pond provides an attractive focal point and seasonal interest throughout the year.
Woodhayes offers a wonderful blend of rural seclusion, equestrian capability and exciting scope for refurbishment. The property backs directly on to Glovers Wood which is nearly 200 acres of ancient woodland owned by The Woodland Trust and is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
Please note the property has private drainage. There is a public footpath through the paddock on the property.

What I love most about this house is the sense of privacy and space it offers, set well back from the road with land and real equestrian potential. The views across the bluebell wood and the way the property backs directly onto Glovers Wood give it such a peaceful, special feel that’s hard to find.
