The perfect farmhouse kitchen at equestrian property
Many homes these days place full focus on the kitchen which often reflects the lifestyle of the occupants. Whether this is something smart and slick for entertaining, something a bit more relaxed with an area for the children to gather and do homework whilst a meal is being prepared or here, at an equestrian property at Droxford, where this traditional double fronted farmhouse has a light and airy kitchen with wooden cabinets, an Aga, space in the middle to gather round a farmhouse table, and access out to the side through a large utility room.
This is an exceptional equestrian property with comprehensive facilities for those wishing to run a livery or competition business, or for an equestrian competition rider or a private enthusiast.
The yard adjoins the house but is approached over its own gated entrance leading to a large parking area. The extensive buildings provide 33 loose boxes, the majority of which are in block built stables with some timber boxes. The yard is well laid out with plenty of space to walk to and from the paddocks and boxes and with associated secure tack rooms and feed stores. In the main yard there is a wash down box and adjacent solarium together with a rest room.
The indoor school measures approximately 42m x 19m and is a sand surface in an enclosed steel portal framed barn. The two outdoor arenas have rubber and Equisand surfaces and are both floodlit. The yard also includes a horse walker, hay barn, cloakrooms and a building fitted out for the preparation of hot meals. A mobile home is situated to the rear of the indoor school.
Securely situated beyond the yard are the paddocks, which are well laid out, post and railed and the majority have a water supply. The land, extending to 22 acres in total, is predominantly level and free draining.
The farmhouse has its own access, separate from the equestrian part of this property with a gravel parking and turning area. The house is a traditional double fronted farmhouse with white washed elevations under a tiled roof. Comfortable living space includes a double aspect sitting room and a formal dining room, both accessed from a generous reception hall.
On the first floor are four good double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The house sits in mature gardens with lawned areas, shrubs and trees providing privacy together with an orchard.
