Woodlands Farm is on the market with Fine & Country for a guide price of £2.95m. Let’s take a look around…
Much of the 40 acres is devoted to pristine paddocks. The current owners keep a small herd of purebred Swedish fallow deer that graze around the park.
The stable yard is accessed via a separate road and comprises 14 looseboxes, plus a tack and feed store and a wash bay, in an American barn. There’s also an office, hay loft and an additional isolation stable. The outdoor all-weather arena lies a few steps from the purpose-built barn.
The six-bedroom house has architectural features such as exposed brickwork and timber beams throughout. There are slate floors with underfloor heating, high vaulted ceilings and hand-crafted double-glazed windows.
The ground floor is home to a machinery store and a triple garage with deer handling facilities. There’s also a ground-floor bedroom with a bathroom and a separate external door leading off the entrance hall.
On the first floor, there are five additional bedrooms, a fully-fitted kitchen/breakfast room, a laundry, and a drawing room. The house’s most dramatic feature is the balcony that wraps around the southerly and westerly sides of the property and gives commanding views of the land. The current owner has also created a private garden with seating and a fire pit.
