A handsome Victorian property with exceptional equestrian facilities set within 27.25 acres of land
Perfectly balancing space, location and seclusion is this stunning equestrian property which is set on the edge of the Wolds offering excellent hacking and close proximity to a number of additional equestrian venues for cross-country schooling and competition. The property is close to a number of popular towns and is within the catchment for Caistor Grammar School and a good local primary. The Victorian house dates back to the early 1900's and has been subject to an extensive programme of improvements including a back to brick renovation with new electrics, plumbing, insulation and interior decoration. The house is beautifully presented to a high standard, with many of its original features reinstated and complemented by more modern additions.
At the heart of the home is the traditional kitchen and breakfast room, presented in a traditional style with a warming AGA at one end and a well-appointed kitchen at the other, with ample space for a kitchen table for family meals and a central island for food preparation. In addition to the kitchen there is a separate formal dining room and a reception room, both situated at the front of the house with tall south-facing sash windows and feature fireplaces. The ground floor also includes a useful utility room and a wet room with underfloor heating, plus there is scope to convert the integrated garage to additional accommodation if desired (subject to necessary consent). Upstairs there are four generously sized double bedrooms and a fifth bedroom which is ideal as a dressing room, study or nursery. The family bathroom is also well proportioned and has a bath and separate shower.
The imposing approach leads up to the house via a long, sweeping gravel driveway lined by fruit trees including pear, plum, apple and cherry. There is ample parking to the front, plus an integrated garage to the rear. The gardens wrap around the home, including lawns, herbaceous borders, a well-stocked kitchen garden and with raised beds. The property has a wealth of excellent equestrian facilities (horse walker available by separate negotiation) and is ideal for a professional enterprise such as a stud or large livery yard, with a number of stables, tack and feed rooms, multipurpose building currently used as a veterinary clinic, hay stores, barns and a floodlit fibresand all-weather arena which can be viewed from the back of the house and the garden. The grounds of approximately 27 acres also include post-and-rail fenced paddocks and a carp fishing lake. Additional outbuildings include workshops, stores and livestock buildings offering excellent potential for conversion (subject to necessary consent).
