Description
Approached over a tree-lined driveway, Braydon Farm Cottage is a charming detached period home ideally situated for an equestrian lifestyle. This spacious property reaches just shy of 8 acres, featuring a superb stable yard, a full-size manege and various other practical outbuildings.
The cottage itself is surprisingly generous, having been thoughtfully extended over time. It presents well-maintained character accommodation extending to a gross internal area of 2,579 sq.ft (excluding the garden room). The interior boasts a large 26' drawing room complete with a large fireplace with wood burning stove, a separate dining room, and a stylish kitchen/family room that has been fitted with custom-built units. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large boot/utility room for everyday convenience. Ascending to the first floor, there are five bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms, with one end of the house cleverly arranged as a private principal suite. Throughout the home, exposed beams and original features blend seamlessly with modern comforts, including double glazing and oil-fired central heating.
Outside, a generous gravelled driveway provides ample parking, while the large lawned garden to the rear is perfect for entertaining and family activities. This area sits alongside strategically placed seating areas ideal for enjoying sunsets. Furthermore, a former workshop has been thoughtfully converted into a studio/home office, complete with broadband connectivity.
The extensive grounds cover approximately 7.81 acres, primarily divided into landscaped gardens, three distinct paddocks and two yards. The gated main stable yard includes four stables, a hay barn, various storage areas and a range of buildings that have been further enhanced into a tack room, office (also with a broadband connection) and a workshop. The full-size school/manege (60 x 20 metres) features a Martin Collins surface and is conveniently located behind the stable yard. An additional yard, bordered by fencing, houses two open-fronted barns, offering potential for garaging, horse shelters or further outbuilding space.
