Horsley Hale Farm - A Rare Lifestyle & Leisure Estate in the Heart of the Fens

Tucked away at the peaceful end of a no-through road, Horsley Hale Farm is a truly exceptional country residence, offering a rare blend of residential elegance, leisure facilities, and commercial opportunity. Set within 10 acres of stunning gardens, woodland, and meadowland, this unique estate combines a substantial five-bedroom farmhouse, a charming two-bedroom gatehouse, extensive outbuildings, fishing lake, gardens and meadow, all framed by hundreds of mature trees.

The main farmhouse extends to around 4,672 sq ft, thoughtfully arranged with five double bedrooms - the master having a balcony with stunning views of the lake and gardens, four en-suites, and four versatile reception rooms. Modern comforts run throughout, with air-conditioning and heat pump units, full Ethernet cabling, and a dedicated server rack in the utility room. The master suite and sitting room are both fully cabled for immersive 5.1 surround sound, ensuring the home is as suited for entertaining as it is for peaceful family living.

Alongside the farmhouse, the estate boasts a separate two-bedroom cottage, The Gatehouse of around 876 sq ft, which has proven highly profitable as an AirBnB and offers ideal guest or multigenerational accommodation.

Outdoors, the property unfolds into a haven for nature and recreation. A well-stocked, fully lined fishing lake with a fountain, jetty, and bathing steps sits at the heart of the grounds, while the surrounding woodland and meadows offer endless walks and wildlife encounters. The gardens host patios, a hot tub, and expansive lawns perfect for social gatherings. Previously operating as an award-winning holiday park, wedding and events venue, Horsley Hale Farm has welcomed thousands of visitors, and the infrastructure remains in place with power and water across the entire site, a gravel car park for around 40 vehicles, and separate supplies and meters for both the house and farm.

A wealth of outbuildings accompany the estate, including agricultural barns, stables, and a concrete yard. One stable block has even been thoughtfully converted into a bar. For those seeking future potential, there is significant scope for Class Q development and an existing planning consent (Ref: 18/00831/FUL) for a glamping site with associated visitor facilities.

Whether envisioned as a prestigious private residence, an equestrian retreat, a leisure business, or a unique lifestyle venture, Horsley Hale Farm offers unmatched versatility and opportunity.

Perfectly located just 3 minutes’ drive from Littleport Station and only 15 minutes from the historic city of Ely, the estate offers seclusion without isolation – a true oasis in the Fens.
