The Property
White House Farm offers excellent family sized accommodation which has been improved and extended by the current owners whilst retaining and incorporating some beautiful original features to include exposed beams, open fireplaces, wooden and tiled floors. Entering into the property you are immediately in a spacious entrance hall with doors off to the sitting room, downstairs shower room, office and dining room. The latter leads through to the stunning kitchen/breakfast room, with its large range cooker and onto the conveniently located boot room and utility room. Back to the entrance hall and the stairs lead to a spacious first floor which offers a master suite of some 5 metres in length, en-suite bathroom and bespoke fitted dressing area. A further three bedrooms and family bathroom are also on this floor. A second staircase leads from the first floor hallway up to the second floor where you will find two attic rooms, which although offering restricted head height are boarded, heated and have natural light.

Outside
The property is approached via a private drive leading to the parking area which overlooks the yard and buildings. There is a double garage to the rear of the farmhouse, which itself is surrounded by lawn with mature trees and shrubs. The overall land for the Farm consists of approximately 16 acres of grazing land, which has been subdivided into four main areas, each with its own water supply. There is also an additional 1.33 acres of mixed woodland, along with a floodlit purpose built ménage. The stabling has been created from former farm buildings, with the main stables measuring some 32 metres in length and providing 18 stables with Loddon fronts and individual water supplies. Incorporated into this building is a feed and tack room. A second farm building measuring approximately 28 metres in length provides additional housing for ponies via concrete partitioning, storage and a workshop area. Bedding and further feed are stored in the pole barn.
