For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in Gedney Dyke£700,000

Smith’s Farm is a traditional farmhouse that has been carefully modernised to create a spacious and comfortable family home with first-class equestrian facilities. Set within just over four acres and surrounded by open farmland, it offers both privacy and connection to village life, combining the tranquillity of a rural retreat with the convenience of an established community close at hand. Approached along a private driveway flanked by a tall hedgerow, the house makes a strong impression. Its handsome red-brick frontage is symmetrical and full of character. The main entrance is to the side of the house, opening into a welcoming hallway. A secondary entrance lies to the rear and leads directly into the boot room, a practical feature that proves invaluable after walks or time in the yard. There is ample parking here, and from this point the property opens up to reveal not only the farmhouse itself but also the extensive equestrian amenities that make this such a rare find. Inside, there are two main front rooms on the ground floor. The reception room has a feature chimney breast, while the dining room is double aspect and filled with natural light. To the rear lies the heart of the home: a large kitchen/breakfast room fitted with generous work surfaces, plentiful storage, and a DeLonghi double oven. From the central hall, a conservatory opens directly into the garden, drawing in natural light and offering an outlook over the garden and patio area, perfect for al fresco entertaining. A utility room and the boot room, complete with tack storage, provide practical support to country living, while a ground-floor shower room underlines the home’s suitability for an equestrian lifestyle. Upstairs there are four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a shower room immediately adjacent, while a family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.  The equestrian facilities are exceptional and form a central part of the property. Five brick-built stables, a feed room, and a range of barns provide space for storage, workshops, and hay, all arranged around a covered yard. There is also an open-bay cart shed. The Olympic-sized 60m x 20m manège has an all-weather sand and rubber surface and is equipped with dressage mirrors, offering year-round training opportunities to a professional standard. The grounds extend to around 4.12 acres in total, comprising the house, barns, stables and arena, along with paddocks securely fenced by Calders and Grandidge of Lincolnshire. For anyone passionate about horses, this is a property that makes daily routines simple and efficient. While the facilities are designed for equestrian use, they could also lend themselves to a variety of hobbies or small-scale enterprises, with generous outbuildings and workshop areas ready to be adapted as required. The gardens around the house add another layer of appeal. Wrapped around the property and enclosed for privacy, they form a natural extension to the living space and are only steps away from the equestrian yard. A pergola walkway with climbing plants creates a charming feature, as does the covered porch area, ideal for sitting out and enjoying the changing scenery. The owners often remark on the sense of space and light here, with vast fenland skies overhead that make for memorable sunsets and stargazing on clear nights.
