Could you imagine turning this five-bedroom house — complete with versatile equestrian facilities — into your dream home? After taking a look around we can’t see why not…
Mulberry Cottage can be found on the outskirts of the small Wiltshire village of Charlton (and you’ll be within walking distance of the pub…). The nearby Cotswold towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury are within easy driving distance, too, and the M4 is also easily accessed to the south.
Equestrian centres to check out include: West Wilts EC (21 miles), Lucknam Park EC (17 miles) and Wickstead Farm (19 miles).
If you like to show your local showing society will be BSPS Area 11.
Once the season comes back around, head out with the Tedworth or the South and West Wilts hunts.
If you need a vet, get in touch with Wessex Equine Vets (12 miles), who are just over 20 minutes from the front door.
Brush up on your cross-country schooling technique at Downlands Equestrian (37 miles).
