Description

Stanley Lodge is an extremely well located equestrian property that has a most delightful rural outlook. The period farmhouse and adjoining stone barns have been the subject of an extensive renovation programme over the past few years.

The land lies around and adjacent to the property, and is laid out in two convenient sized paddocks that are well suited to equestrian or other livestock use. There is direct access to a Bridleway with good outriding.
