Description

An immaculate and very spacious 2500 square foot semi detached modern house, situated on this wonderful private rural development of just 8 homes, including the former stunning outbuildings of the adjacent Swettenham Hall, in a simply stunning rural position at the end of a long private drive, enjoying the most fabulous far reaching views over the Dane Valley, and enjoying a share of about eight acres of paddocks, an all weather arena and a private timber stable block, with each property .

Originally converted and built in 1999, The Saddlery is one of the four modern homes newly built at that time. Of these four, it is in the most favoured position enjoying the elevated valley views, with a larger private garden, and a hugely beneficial double garage lying immediately adjacent to the garden. Outside there are several areas of private landscaped gardens, including a large deck and a driveway providing parking for several cars in front of the garage.

The house has been enlarged on the ground floor in recent years, and this has balanced the accommodation extremely well, there are three reception rooms, as well as a large kitchen/breakfast room with doors to the garden. The good sized first floor lounge boasts splendid views, and four bedrooms and two bathrooms are set out over two upper floors.

The development has eight homes in all, four barn conversions and four new build houses. There is a garage block for some of the other houses, a private store room for all, and a range of timber stables and a tack room for the residents (one stable allocated to The Saddlery). There are several paddocks, and an all weather arena. The owners find the communal equestrian facilities a rare benefit (one horse per household), and we are told it works extremely well. There is a service charge of £150 per month and the grounds are very well kept. The owners all own a share of the freehold.
