The ground floor of the main house features multiple reception rooms that lend themselves to both everyday family living and entertaining, with ample space for both formal and informal layouts. Upstairs in the farmhouse, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, all filled with natural light and enjoying peaceful views across the surrounding land. The generous layout includes a family bathroom serving three of the bedrooms, while the spacious primary suite benefits from its own private en suite, creating a comfortable and secluded retreat within the home.
The Area
Nestled on the rural fringe of Leavenheath, Oaklands Farm is perfectly positioned for those seeking the balance of peaceful countryside living with access to essential equestrian infrastructure and open riding country.
Leavenheath sits on the Suffolk/Essex border, surrounded by undulating countryside, quiet lanes, and bridleways, offering a wealth of off-road hacking opportunities straight from the gate. The wider area is known for its horse-friendly landscape, including access to Dedham Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just a short ride away, as well as nearby Arger Fen and Assington Woods, which provide seasonal riding access and countryside trails.
Despite its rural feel, Leavenheath offers straightforward access to the A134 and A12, making transport with horseboxes and trailers efficient, while also connecting to nearby market towns such as Sudbury, Hadleigh, and Colchester, the latter offering direct trains to London Liverpool Street in under an hour.
For equestrian buyers looking to balance acreage, access to open riding, and a practical location, Oaklands Farm sits in an enviable position, private, scenic, and well-resourced.
