The house is approached from the road via a short "in and out" drive with metal gates which leads to a long gravel drive, which sweeps up the side of the paddock to a large pond and on to a good area for parking cars. The pond is a key feature of the property with a magnificent willow and central island. A bridge suitable for vehicles spans the small river to the garage and front of the house. The gardens lie to the front, left hand side and rear of the house and are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and hedges. Behind the garage is a prefabricated concrete shed measuring 16' x 16' with two windows to the front and electricity connected, which would make an ideal tack room. Beyond the shed is a concrete pad that used to have stabling on it.

The garage, measuring 8.4m x 7.7m, is attached to the side of the house and has plenty of room for two cars and a workshop. It is accessed from the front through a large up and over door, has a door to the rear leading to the terrace, electricity connected and plumbing for a washing machine.

The paddock is currently being grazed by cows and is fenced by post and wire. An automatic water trough is at the top end.

General - The property is on the outskirts of Braintree, which is well served by shops, schools, hospital and leisure centre. The mainline station to London (45 mins to Liverpool Street) is in easy walking distance and the A120 link to Stansted (14 miles) and Chelmsford/Colchester is close.

Equestrian - The countryside surrounding the property is not directly accessible and unfortunately hacking involves some road work. A major bonus is that Unex Towerlands (a major competition centre) is less than 3 miles away and the new Great Leighs Racecourse is also closeby.
