Hyde Lane, Essex, Danbury, CM3 4LP

A versatile & deceptively spacious equestrian residence with magical secluded south facing grounds of approximately 2 acres (stls) What We Say at the Zoe Napier Group Appearances can be deceiving!

This property is genuinely a Tardis of epic proportions, offering incredibly versatile accommodation with the flexibility to be utilised in a variety of different ways to suit the requirements of the incoming buyer.

Outside, the secluded, south facing grounds are truly magical and quite something to behold.

Wonderfully private, they are enveloped by a plethora of mature trees, established shrubs and greenery, creating a wonderfully tranquil and secluded sanctuary.

For the equestrian enthusiast, the extensive stabling and associated facilities further enhance the appeal, making this a rarely available country retreat that offers both exceptional versatility and an enviable equestrian lifestyle.

What the owners say We have loved every second of living in this wonderful home and will dearly miss it.

We have created so many incredibly special memories here, particularly enjoying the secluded swimming pool and beautiful grounds, which have provided the perfect setting for regular soirées with family and friends.

Many of those wonderful occasions have invariably culminated in us sitting back and watching the sun set with a glass of wine.

The exceptional local schooling has been invaluable to us as a family, whilst having a railway station just a short drive away, offering such a seamless commute into London, has been a huge bonus.
