UNDER OFFER!!
The property is situated in part of the original parkland of Moggerhanger House. The 18th Century barn has been carefully restored and designed by an award winning architect with the help of a specialist building conservationist and it retains extensive original features with the benefit of modern facilities including underfloor heating, kitchen extension and a first floor south west facing roof terrace. The property has been utilised for private residential and private equestrian use by the vendors, and there is a lovely stable yard with adjoining paddocks and mature gardens and grounds with pond. We understand there is also good outriding on nearby country lanes giving access to a network of bridleways in the area.
The village of Moggerhanger has a public house and small shop as well as a village church and primary school. Both Sandy and Biggleswade have supermarkets, shops and railway stations with links to London and there are many village primary schools nearby as well as secondary schooling. The property is also readily accessible to the A1 giving excellent north / south communications.

The Land adjoins and comprises three fairly level paddock areas drilled with grasses and herbs. The paddocks are generally enclosed by post and rail fencing with electric rope along the top rail and a recently installed mains unit situated near the stables. There are also hedges along the external boundaries.
We understand there is also planning permission for a manege in the paddock opposite the stable yard.
We understand there is an uplift clause on the land in respect of future development in favour of Bedfordshire Council who were the previous owners of the property.
