Set back from the lane, Newhaven is accessible by two gates, with the drive forming a loop leading to the house and garage. The property sits on a plot of 5.6 acres enclosed by mature hedges. The sloping permanent pasture is split into paddocks of a mixture of post-and-rail and electric fencing.

Outbuildings at Newhaven include a steel framed four-bay timber-clad barn, a log store, a hay barn, a cedar stable block with two loose boxes and a separate timber stable.

There’s also a versatile log cabin currently in use as a one-bedroom annexe.

The equestrian facilities at Newhaven extend to a 20x40m all-weather arena.

The property has a modern. high-spec interior and features wooden flooring that runs from the hallway and into the large kitchen/breakfast room. The roof light floods the space with natural light. The kitchen has a range cooker, an island and ample storage. There’s also a double-sided wood burner, which also heats the adjacent living room.

The dining room is another interior highlight, accessed off the hallway. Its bay window allows for plenty of light.
