Further Information

Description
Sennington is a very privately and picturesquely located equestrian holding and in its entirety the plot comprises a modern barn conversion, an extensive yard comprising 9 stables, all weather ménage, a tack room, and gardens. It sits at the edge of its own land that extends to approx. 19 acres. It is not often that Equestrian properties come to the market in prime Cotswold villages and Brockhampton is no exception and as such, it provides a superb opportunity for a prospective owner to use as a wonderful country estate or as its currently used, providing a useful income stream as a successfully run livery and dressage yard.

Sennington House was a home built for the sole purpose of its surroundings and equestrian usage. It is an impressive property of wonderful proportions, architecturally designed with the majority of rooms each enjoying the picturesque views that can be seen at every angle. The internals of the farmhouse extend to over 4557 Sq ft as part of the overall plot standing at c6368 Sq ft including the outbuildings.
The house, set over two floors, opens to a spectacular central, double volume hallway, with full length glazing flooding the home in natural daylight and perfectly frame the unbeatable views of the rolling countryside.

The façade of the property is in keeping of its origins as a barn, but the rooms are more contemporary in style, and with direct links to the garden on the lower level. On the ground floor the kitchen/dining room is the real hub of the house and as with any of the best family homes, it has been arranged with a well-appointed modern kitchen to one side opening to a dual sitting area with a freestanding Jack and Jill log burner dividing the space to use as required. Adjacent is a walk in larder and a utility room with cloakroom located off the main hall. To the other side of the hallway is the formal living room and behind here, a study.

The rear of the ground floor is an area that could be adapted, STP, to annex usage making it an ideal self-contained space for a stable hand, au pair or, guests. On entry to one side is a double height workshop and forge, with mezzanine storage over and to the other side, a large walk in boot room with a utility area and on the first floor, a large storage room, kitchenette and shower room which has direct access to the main bedrooms on the first floor. Adjacent to this is a workshop and old forge, there is currently a planning application pending to convert this area to create additional bedrooms for the annex. Cotswold District Council, Ref. No: 22/03747/FUL
On the first floor the bedrooms are set around an airy landing. The master suite is a large room with a walk in wardrobe and en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms with a shower room and a luxury separate family bathroom.

Outside
Sennington House is accessed from the road that runs from Sevenhampton to Brockhampton, in a discreet entrance that follows a long driveway set between the land ending at the equestrian facilities and house. The equestrian provisions are excellent, with stabling, a tack room and hay barn, within a yard and up to 19 acres of paddocks for horses and a small holding. The ménage is directly opposite and there is ample parking for lorries and machinery. The current owners have opted for a fairly low maintenance approach and most of the gardens, with the exception of some more formal flower/shrub beds, is down to lawn which is entirely befitting of its equestrian purpose.

Situation
Located between Sevenhampton and Brockhampton, yet closer to the latter, two of The north Cotswolds most sought after villages. It is rare to find a home and acreage on this scale for sale in this sought after village. This area is well known for its exceptional riding and walking countryside with various bridleways and footpaths. The village has the huge benefit of being a midway point to some wonderful centres and some of the best in The Cotswolds, with excellent leisure and schooling options, including Stow on The Wold, Bourton on The Water and Winchcombe, the latter a short scenic drive from the property offering exceptional dining options, supermarkets and boutiques. The community of Charlton Kings is the largest neighbouring village also with excellent amenities and the nationally reputed Balcarras Secondary school. A little further is Cheltenham’s centre, a mere 6 miles offering a cosmopolitan way of life, first-rate shopping and fine eateries in addition to a wide range of excellent schools including The Cheltenham Ladies' College, Cheltenham College, St Edwards and Dean Close. As well as superb educational facilities the town is well known for the many festivals that it holds as well as the cricket and National Hunt festivals. Whilst beautifully semi-rural, the village is extremely accessible having the A40 within two miles of the property, providing good east/west access to London, Cheltenham and the M5, whilst the nearby Fosseway gives excellent north/south access.
