Charing Property Description: Guide Price £1,150,000 - £1,250,000.

Set within approximately 7.5 acres of private grounds just outside the sought-after village of Charing, this substantial equestrian residence provides an exceptional combination of first-class equestrian facilities, versatile family accommodation and a peaceful rural setting.

Approached via a long, gated private driveway, the property has a high degree of privacy and seclusion, while remaining conveniently positioned for village amenities and transport links.

At the heart of the property is the outstanding equestrian provision, thoughtfully designed for both private and professional use.

The impressive 20 meter by 40 meter silica sand and rubber riding arena has been carefully maintained to a high standard, providing an excellent all-weather surface for schooling and training throughout the year.

Complementing this are seven substantial brick-built stables, together with a dedicated tack room, a large barn with power and water connected, and a separate workshop also with power supply, creating a highly practical and well-equipped equestrian environment.

The stables are named Calehill Stud, which was once part of the Calehill Estate, and are currently run as a livery yard.

The grounds are equally well suited to horse owners, comprising six individual paddocks of approximately one acre each, all enclosed with post, rail and electric fencing and supplied with water.

The layout of the land allows for excellent grazing management while maintaining ease of access between the stable yard and paddocks.

The overall acreage provides an ideal balance of equestrian functionality and outdoor family space.

A further unique and prestigious aspect of the property is the history associated with the equestrian facilities, with the stables having formerly been used by renowned racing figures including Red Rum, Lester Piggott and Willie Carson, adding notable heritage and character to this exceptional home.

The detached farmhouse itself has been extended to create spacious, versatile and well-presented accommodation arranged over two floors.

At the heart of the home is a large country-style kitchen/breakfast room, beautifully designed for both everyday family living and entertaining, featuring a central island and ample space for freestanding appliances.

The generous 27 foot by 14 foot living room has an abundance of natural light and features double doors opening directly onto a raised decked terrace, perfectly positioned to overlook the gardens and surrounding grounds.

A separate dining room provides further reception space, ideal for formal entertaining or family gatherings.

The property has four spacious double bedrooms, two on the ground floor and two on the first floor, together with a well-appointed bathroom on each floor, and a convenient ground floor cloakroom serving the main living accommodation.

Outside: Externally, the property continues to impress with extensive off-road parking, a detached double garage and beautifully established grounds, all set within a peaceful and private setting at the end of the long driveway.

The location is particularly appealing, with several scenic hacking routes and countryside rides accessible close to the property, providing excellent opportunities for both leisure riding and training.

Combining excellent equestrian facilities with a substantial and adaptable family home, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a superb lifestyle property in an attractive Kent village location.
