The Outside

A standout feature of Hyfields is its extensive array of outbuildings and outdoor amenities, making it a dream for anyone with equestrian or hobby interests. The property features a double garage for secure parking, four stables, and a substantial barn measuring approximately 25m x 7.8m. Within the barn, there is potential to create a stabling block with multiple stables which would be ideal for housing horses or other livestock.

In total, the house and its outbuildings provide around 4,907 sq. Ft. Of built space, offering incredible versatility for storage, workshops, or agricultural use. The grounds of Hyfields are equally impressive.

The private gardens surrounding the bungalow are well-tended and tranquil, offering lawned areas, mature plantings, and sunny terraces where you can relax and soak up the countryside atmosphere. Thanks to the scale of the barn and ancillary buildings, there is excellent potential to develop additional accommodation on-site – for example, converting the barn into an annexe or separate dwelling (STPP). This creates exciting possibilities for multi-generational living, guest quarters, or even a holiday rental, all while retaining plenty of storage and functional space in the remaining outbuildings. The overall setting – with its blend of formal gardens, practical outbuildings, and open land – ensures both elegance and functionality for a variety of lifestyle needs.
