A farm near Wells with first rate equestrian facilities designed for a successful international eventer has come to market.
Burtle Moor Farm has stabling for 10 horses, a solarium, an all-weather arena and a cross country water complex - all designed for Phoebe Lock, the three day event rider.
On the Levels with views to Glastonbury Tor, the five bedroom farmhouse is immaculate, having been built just 17 years ago.
The farmhouse has landscaped gardens that include a beautiful pond and are mainly laid to lawn, with extensive areas for outdoor entertaining including the timber built, African style breeze house built by Julian Christenson.
In addition there is a guest annexe which is a self-contained independent space for guests, staff, office or leisure use.
The equestrian facilities have a fantastic range of outbuildings that include stabling and general purpose agricultural buildings.
The main stable block is fitted with five large, American style barn stables, a solarium and a separate tack room.
A separate timber frame building holds a further five stables.
A further open fronted agricultural barn with Yorkshire board cladding is currently used for machinery and general storage but it offers potential for alternate uses (subject to planning consents).
There is also a large workshop providing further options and a single story building to the west of the farmhouse which offers scope for further accommodation, leisure facilities, entertaining space etc (subject to planning consents).
There is ample parking for lorries, vehicles and machinery.
The all-weather outdoor manège, built in 2005, measures 20 x 40m and has good quality post and rail fencing with a rubber and silicon sand surface.
The draining is excellent providing the opportunity to be used all year round.
The land is in good heart with well drained soil.
It lies within a ring fence and extends to approximately 18.28 acres of level pasture land divided into sheltered enclosures.
There is high quality fencing throughout that creates paddocks for the horses but the land is suitable for agriculture, conservation or purely amenity use.
Burtle Moor Farm is for sale with Savills and has a guide price of £1,800,000.
