The property sits within 4.5 acres of land and the equestrian facilities are close to the house so you can easily keep an eye on the horses. The land is divided into several fenced paddocks, all with water connected. There is an additional four acres of land available via separate negotiation.
The timber L-shaped stable block of seven boxes includes one with direct access to a paddock. Opposite is a two-bay timber-framed carport with one stable and an open log store attached. There is also a field shelter with access to a small yard and paddock, with a further mobile field shelter on hardstanding and a pole barn.
The stables have planning permission for livery and are commercially rated. They currently qualify for small business rates exemption.
There is parking for several vehicles, plus a 20x40m all-weather arena. To the east is a large detached outbuilding providing secure barn and storage, garage, feed room, tack room, utility room/WC and a mezzanine store.
The property would suit buyers looking for accommodation for multiple family members as there are three dwellings in total, including Kerves Barn, Kerves Farm Cottage and the annexe.
The main house is a barn conversion, offering well-presented accommodation which is mainly on the ground floor.
There are four bedrooms, two of which are in the south wing of the ground floor. The main bedroom is on the first floor with a dressing area and an en-suite bathroom.
