Description

Carters Estate Agents are privileged to present The Barns at Firwood House, an exceptional rural equestrian property/small holding set within approximately 12 acres of picturesque land. The estate comprises two detached stone barns, a range of stables, a main 10-acre field currently divided into four paddocks with field shelters, a 15m x 40m rubber-surface floodlit menage, and a detached double wooden carport. Accessed via a private track ending in an electric gate, the dwellings retain abundant character, including exposed stone walls, traditional wooden beams, and other period features.

Barn One opens with a welcoming entrance hall leading to the principal living areas. The spacious dining kitchen is ideal for family living and entertaining, while a generously sized ground-floor bedroom offers versatility for guests or single-level living. The lounge, complete with log-burning stove, provides a warm and inviting space. Upstairs, a second bedroom is served by a superbly appointed four-piece bathroom featuring a traditional cast iron roll-top bath. Outside, an Indian stone patio and lawned garden enjoy uninterrupted panoramic countryside views.
Barn Two features a thoughtfully designed open-plan layout with a bright, airy living/kitchen/dining space flowing into a charming conservatory. The ground-floor accommodation also includes a generous bedroom with en-suite, while the south-facing rear garden offers a private, sheltered outdoor area with Indian stone patio and extensive open field views that enhance the tranquil setting.

Both dwellings benefit from wet underfloor heating throughout.

This remarkable holding is ideally suited to purchasers seeking a private and characterful rural retreat, equestrian enthusiasts requiring stabling, paddock and schooling facilities, or those wishing to enjoy country living with the flexibility of dual occupancy or income potential from a subsidiary dwelling. Combining period charm, exceptional features, and expansive land,
