The Grove is on the market for £1.65m with Robert Bell Estate Agents. Let’s take a look around…
The property has 80 acres in total, 70 of which are dedicated to post and rail paddocks. Each paddock has a mains-supplied water point. There is also mature woodland as part of the acreage, including some at the rear of the house for privacy and seclusion.
The 33 stables are set in an American-style barn. Each stable has an automatic drinker and there is a tack room too. To the rear of the barn is a small indoor school (22x18m) with a sand surface, perfect for groundwork and lungeing. Adjoining the barn in an open-fronted store, plus an additional garage/workshop outbuilding.
The property is accessed via a shared private roadway that connects to a tree-lined private drive.
Downstairs, the property’s main entrance leads to a large hall with a quarry-tiled floor. There is a home office, a large sitting room with timber double-glazed sash windows, and a large open fireplace.
The large kitchen/breakfast room can be accessed via the dining room or via a separate entrance. It has an Aga, fitted units and a shower room to the rear.
Upstairs, you’ll find The Grove’s four bedrooms, the principal of which has an ensuite and dressing room, and two further bathrooms.
