Well placed with easy access to main roads while offering plenty of opportunity for riding and outdoor pursuits, this outstanding equestrian property sits in around 21 acres of grounds, including gardens, paddocks, a stable block, large pond and more. There are also two annexes or holiday lets in a separate converted barn, as well as a two-bedroom log cabin, so there’s huge potential here to run a business and create additional income.

Moving With The TimesOriginally an old cottage dating back to the 1880s, this home has been transformed over the years. Previous owners extended and began renovations, then the current owners came here around 15 years ago and continued the works. “We extended the house to meet our needs as a growing family, converted the barn into the two annexes or holiday lets, added the stable block and other equestrian facilities and finished with the log cabin,” they explain. So the property overall has seen many changes but it’s offered in pristine condition and as the owners’ children fly the nest, it’s ready for the purchaser to come in and enjoy everything that’s on offer here. “We’ve found it to be brilliant and we’ve all embraced the equestrian lifestyle. It’s been a lot of fun and there’s so much you could do with it,” confirm the owners.

Fun And FlexibleThis is a very sociable home as the owners enjoy entertaining and filling the house and gardens with friends and family. They’ve hosted many parties and celebrations over the years, with the hot tub and terrace at the back often taking centre stage. You could even have a pool here if you wanted. “With the games room too, our daughter is always having people over and her friends love coming here,” the owners smile. There have been camps on the lawn, pony parties with instructors coming in for the occasion, summer barbecues with the built-in facilities and pizza oven coming into their own – all in all, with the sun on this part of the land from late morning for the rest of the day, it’s a lovely place to hang out. In winter, the sitting room is perfect, cosy with the beams and brick fireplace

and beautiful at Christmas. Upstairs, the bedrooms are a good size so it’s perfect for a growing family. “We love the balance of the country feel with the modern finish,” explain the owners.

Ideal For EquestriansThe whole family ride and have competed over the years. There are ten stables here, so as well as private use there’s the option to offer liveries or to run a bed and breakfast or holiday business where people can bring their horses. It’s well placed for the eventing at Great Witchingham too. The property adjoins a single carriageway section of the A47, so while you’re not disturbed at home, you do have excellent access out from the property for horseboxes. You could have livestock here, grow your own, keep chickens and really live the rural dream while remaining very accessible. The layout of the grounds is also practical and secure, so you can keep an eye on the horses easily. A large barn provides storage with enough room for tractors, hay, and even individual storage for clients if you offer liveries. “We have worked hard to think of everything and we’ve found it all to work very well, both for us as a family and when renting it out. It’s a very versatile property.”

The AccommodationThe sale of Oak Farm offers a unique opportunity to purchase a modern and recently refurbished 5-bedroom dwelling finished to an exceptional standard.
