Detached house, with 11 acres and comprehensive equestrian facilities.
Set behind electric gates and approached via a sweeping circular driveway, Clover Ashes is an impressive detached family home offering extensive and versatile accommodation, complemented by beautifully established gardens, excellent outbuildings and well-maintained pastureland. Having been in the same ownership for over four decades, the property provides a rare opportunity to acquire a private country residence with significant equestrian appeal.
A welcoming entrance hall opens into a bright reception area with views over the gardens and land beyond. The heart of the home is a bespoke kitchen and utility room fitted with handcrafted cabinetry and granite work surfaces, providing an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining. The principal reception rooms comprise a generous dining room and an elegant sitting room, with direct access to the garden, both rooms benefiting from excellent natural light. The sitting room features a fireplace and enjoys attractive views over the grounds. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a study, which could also serve as a fifth bedroom, together with a games room and cloakroom. This wing of the house benefits from its own staircase and access to a private courtyard garden, offering excellent flexibility for guest accommodation, multi generational living or home working.
On the first floor are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all with a full range of fitted cupboards, and two of which have en suite facilities. One bedroom opens onto a balcony with far-reaching views over the paddocks and surrounding countryside. A family bathroom and separate cloakroom complete the accommodation.
The gardens have been carefully landscaped to provide a series of distinct outdoor areas for relaxation and entertaining. Expansive lawns are interspersed with mature trees and specimen planting, while terraces and seating areas capture sunlight throughout the day. Features include a decorative pond and fountain, a sheltered dining terrace and a pergola.
The equestrian facilities are a particular feature of the property. The stable yard comprises four loose boxes, a tack room and large hay store, conveniently positioned adjacent to the paddocks. A 40m x 20m sand and rubber arena provides excellent schooling facilities, while three field shelters serve the grazing land. The land extends to approximately 11 acres, divided into well-fenced paddocks bordered by mature hedgerows and trees, offering both shelter and privacy. Direct access leads to nearby bridleways, providing excellent riding opportunities. Additional outbuildings include an oak-framed double garage, workshop and garden tractor store, and a garden shed.

The house is perfect for buyers with equestrian interests - the land is beautifully laid out, with the paddocks well fenced, and the stables are well maintained.
