A substantial equestrian country estate near Brentwood, complete with a newly built four-bedroom home, 23 stables and a licensed riding school, has been listed for sale with a guide price of £2.5 million.
The freehold property on Sandpit Lane, Brentwood, extends to around 25 acres and is being marketed by Beresfords Country & Village.
At the centre of the estate is a recently constructed detached house with four double bedrooms, two bathrooms and three reception rooms.
The home has a double-height galleried entrance hall, two dual-aspect reception rooms and a media room with bi-fold doors leading out to a rear deck overlooking the surrounding countryside.
A separate dining or reception room leads through to a bespoke kitchen and breakfast room, which features a central island, integrated appliances and further bi-fold doors opening on to the deck.
The property also includes a boot and drying room, wet-room shower and cloakroom.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite has access to a large bathroom with a freestanding bath, twin wash basins and built-in storage.
French doors open on to a balcony overlooking the paddocks and woodland.
Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill shower room, while another bedroom has access to a second balcony.
Outside, the house has a lawned garden with young fruit trees and a raised, partly covered deck running the width of the property.
A timber octagonal building is also included, which could be used as a summerhouse, barbecue hut or sauna.
The listing says planning permission has been granted for two single-storey wings, which could extend the accommodation further.
The wider estate includes 23 stables, storage areas, barns, tack rooms, a tea room, WC facilities and a farrier, veterinary and clipping shelter.
