Beestons Cottage

DESCRIPTION
Beestons Cottage is an outstanding equestrian smallholding centred around a light-filled and spacious five-bedroom detached home. Constructed of brick beneath a traditional clay tile roof, the property offers flexible and well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors.
The property is accessed via a welcoming entrance porch leading into the reception hall, which provides access to the principal reception rooms and cloakroom. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wall and base units centred around a four-oven electric AGA with dual hobs and warming plate. Adjoining the kitchen are a practical pantry and a generously sized utility/boot room.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom suite benefits from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, a shower en-suite and a balcony overlooking the gardens. There are four further double bedrooms, all served by a family bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
Electric gates open onto a private stone driveway with a circular parking area positioned in front of the house. The front garden is attractively landscaped with raised beds planted with mature shrubs and seasonal flowers, while stone steps lead to the entrance porch.
To the side and rear of the property is a spacious patio terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining, with steps rising to a lawned garden and pathways leading to the equestrian facilities.
The property is bordered by mature trees, creating a private and tranquil setting throughout.

EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES & LAND
Beestons Cottage benefits from an impressive range of equestrian and ancillary buildings, offering considerable versatility. A traditional brick outbuilding is currently utilised as a workshop, stable and feed room, together with a WC. An adjoining building incorporates a garage, office with kitchenette and a secure tack room.
Beyond these are two timber stable blocks beneath cantilevered roofs, arranged around a substantial concrete yard. In total there are six stables together with a larger foaling box, ample storage space and an additional hay barn. Adjacent is a floodlit 20m x 40m riding arena with a rubber and sand surface.
The land extends around the property and includes well-fenced paddocks, woodland and a large pond, amounting in total to approximately 9.22 acres.
