Description
Close House Farm offers great potential in many areas as well as being a fantastic place to live, work and play. Set in four acres of land, well away from main roads and noisy traffic, its a safe and quiet haven for all the family.
With a Dressage Menage, eight stables and two tack rooms we expect to attract interest from the equestrian fraternity as properties like this do not come to market very often, especially in this price bracket. In addition to the equestrian facilities there are three large paddocks that could be used for many aspects of business. Lodges, Yurts, Caravan and Camping Spring to mind. (Some may require consent from authorities).
As you will see from the plan of the outdoor facilities there is a workshop/store giving 72 sq mtrs of space. This is situated in the rear yard which also offers lots of room that could be utilised in various ways. The current owners, that have raised a family here over the last twenty years, tell us that they have made good use of the paddocks and the yard when they all get together.
The family home also has a number of rooms to cater for celebrations and parties. A large lounge with a log / coal burning stove, a dining room, a conservatory and study/second reception are all located around a magnificent hall. Upstairs there are 4 double bedrooms, two with en suite facilities. The bathroom is tremendous. A Spa Bath plus a Power Shower that doubles as a Sauna for two people are what makes this bathroom outstanding.
In the final analysis the phrase 'must be seen to be appreciated' has never been more appropriate. Indoors and outdoors Close House Farm has lots to offer, a lot more than 33 photos, 2 floor plans and a written description can portray. So please contact us to arrange a viewing.
