Property description

Stable Cottage and Horseshoe Cottage are neighbouring three and two bedroom period properties in a stable yard In Mentmore with 22 acres of equestrian land which has planning for an American barn and a manège.

Located in a raised position, approaching the centre of Mentmore village and with far-reaching view, this 22-acre parcel of land has approved planning consent for an American barn and manège, and includes two brick under tile properties with a combined five double bedrooms and approximately 2,098 sq. ft. of accommodation. The properties, with rear gardens, are situated just over 300 yds from the village green, and include a garage and off street parking. The approved planning (see below*) includes a change of use from agricultural land to mixed agricultural and equestrian with the provision of a manège and development of an American barn for personal recreation and leisure use. The barn has permitted use for stabling and ancillary equestrian storage of feed and bedding, again for personal recreation and leisure use. The property and land represent an unusual opportunity to purchase a significant equestrian smallholding in a locally desirable location in north Buckinghamshire.

Properties

The two late19th-century properties, are side-by-side in the quadrangle of the original stable yard, with private parking and rear gardens. The 22 acres of land are located directly across the road from the yard. Stable Cottage is a three-bedroom, two-reception room property with an open plan kitchen/breakfast room and a utility room/cloakroom. Horseshoe Cottage has a dual aspect sitting/dining room, a kitchen, and a garage. On the first floor are two bedrooms, an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom.
