Brent Eleigh, CO10 9PA

An Outstanding Equestrian Property with Premium Facilities, alongside a Versatile Five Bedroom Detached House and in all 3.11 Acres.

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group The equestrian facilities are so well designed and would suit the most discerning equestrienne.

The house is versatile and offers additional scope as the double garage is integral. There is also potential above the main living area to develop into the roof area stp.

We love how the paddocks lie so you can see the horses and the stables from the house. Another bonus is the convenience of the small quaint thatched pub at the foot of the lane.

What The Owners Say We moved here to create bespoke equestrian facilities and to have our horses at home. My daughter has produced competition horses culminating in a silver medal at the Europeans.

The house has much potential to enlarge which we never had time to undertake. My daughter is about to fly the nest and is taking the horses with her, so it’s time to consider downsizing.

I am also happy to offer an end-of-chain situation.
