This stunning country home with equestrian facilities and 12 acres in a pretty location could be yours...

Horse & Hound takes a look around The Priory in Denham, Suffolk, which is on the market with Jackson-Stops Newmarket with a guide price of £1,995,000.

'The Priory is a Grade II-Listed six-bedroom home in a pretty location, complete with equestrian facilities, set within 12 acres...on the edge of the sought-after hamlet of Denham in Suffolk.

'Local equestrian centres include Codham Park (26 miles), Finchingfield Equestrian (20 miles) and The Suffolk EC (10 miles). You can go cross-country schooling at Ely Eventing Centre at Little Downham (45 minutes). If hunting is more your thing, you could head out with either the Suffolk or the Thurlow. Need a vet? The experts at Rossdales or Newmarket Equine Hospital are on hand to help you eight miles away.

'The Priory is approached through timber gates with a gravel driveway leading to parking and turning for several vehicles. There are several post and rail paddocks, plus six stables, a lunge pen, and a five bay horsewalker. Planning permission has been granted for a 60x30m all-weather arena.

'The extensive outbuildings formally used for garaging within a courtyard setting offer 4,450 sq. ft currently used as workshops, storage, with rubber matted horse wash bay and space previously used as a solarium, feed room, tack room and further storage. The outbuildings would be suitable for conversion (subject to planning) to form further accommodation or an indoor swimming pool/office.

'The landscaped grounds are private and have good views, while the garden has well-maintained lawns, well-stocked flower and shrub beds and a pond.

'The Priory dates to the mid-16th Century with subsequent extensions over the years...and is part-timber framed, brick and rendered under a thatch and pantile roof, which has been significantly improved by the current owners.

'The property retains many of its original features including exposed beams, open fireplaces, moulded Mullion window and arched roll-moulded hand and leaf carved spandrels. In addition, there is a self-contained two-bedroom annexe.'
