Description
Fairfield House Farm offers a very pleasant combination of land, buildings and a dwelling in an extremely pleasant setting with open rural aspects. The property was originally constructed by the current owners in the 1970s to their own individual design, with the property making the most of this attractive rural setting with the farm buildings set a sensible distance from the house, so as not to impose upon its privacy. The residence itself offers light and well planned accommodation, consisting of entrance hall with gallery landing, lounge, dining room, breakfast kitchen, utility room, cloak room, office and to the first floor four good sized bedrooms, bathroom and shower room. Externally there is an attached double garage and workshop, with the property being bounded on all sides by formal well tended gardens, together with a summer house and former grass tennis court.A substantial range of buildings stand approximately 200 feet to the south, accessed via their own entrance and formally utilised for equestrian pursuits with the main shed adapted as an indoor school and the remaining sheds as stabling. There is also a static caravan.The land lies predominantly to the west and the south with an additional optional parcel of land, amounting to approximately 4 acres, situated to the north. The property was constructed subject to an agricultural occupancy condition, which was subsequently amended to include equestrian uses.
