Nine Ashes lies just five minutes from the village of Stagsden in Bedfordshire. The village is home to amenities such as a pub, farm shop and tea room and a golf club.
The large town of Bedford (14 minutes) has extensive shopping and entertainment. You can catch a train from there to London St Pancras in 43 minutes.
The house is close to Woburn Safari Park (23 minutes) and Bletchley Park (27 minutes), where World War Two code-breakers operated from.
Local equestrian venues include Abbey Farm Dressage (13 minutes), Twin Trees (26 minutes), Keysoe International (28 minutes) and Addington Manor (38 minutes).
Should you ever need them, Towcester Equine Vets are 29 minutes away. Your local racecourse (32 mins) is also in Towcester.
