Some properties offer space. Others offer character. Few, however, bring everything together with such elegance as Townhead Farm, Iveston.
This remarkable country estate combines refined family living with professional-standard equestrian facilities, all within 21 acres of rolling land, with the option to extend to 55 acres by separate negotiation.
Set in the hamlet of Iveston, close to the historic village of Lanchester, Townhead Farm offers a unique opportunity to embrace both tranquillity and possibility.
A Grand Arrival
The estate announces itself with a sense of grandeur. Electronic gates open to a tree-lined driveway that sweeps towards the main house, a handsome country residence surrounded by landscaped grounds. Solid wood double doors reveal a welcoming hallway with exposed stone walls, setting the tone for a home that blends rustic character with modern sophistication.
Inside, the layout flows with ease, offering space for both family life and entertaining.
Elegant Living
The heart of the home is its open-plan dining kitchen, where dual-aspect windows frame views to both the north and south. A central island and breakfast bar, range-style cooker, and underfloor heating combine practicality with luxury. French doors open directly to a sun terrace, perfect for alfresco dining.
A series of reception rooms add to the home’s versatility. The formal living room is anchored by a wood and marble fireplace, while a sitting room with a stone fireplace leads to a conservatory with three sets of French doors. A garden room, media cinema room with bar, and a private study enhance the lifestyle offering, alongside leisure additions such as a sauna and annexe space.
Upstairs, bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and generous natural light, while a modern wet room brings a sleek finish.
The Equestrian Dream
For equestrian enthusiasts, Townhead Farm is unrivalled. The facilities are designed for both professional and leisure use, thoughtfully arranged around a large concrete yard with separate electric-gated access.
Highlights include:
These features, coupled with the land itself, make the property ideal for everything from competition training to private riding. With the option to acquire up to 55 acres, the scope is extraordinary.
Additional Accommodation
The estate extends beyond the main house and equestrian complex. Three additional cottages provide versatile accommodation: one with three bedrooms and two with two bedrooms each. Perfect for extended family, staff, or holiday lets, these cottages add further flexibility and income potential.
Double garages and landscaped gardens complete the offering, ensuring every element of country living has been considered.
A Complete Lifestyle
What makes Townhead Farm exceptional is the way its features come together to create a holistic lifestyle. This is not simply a house with stables. It is an estate where mornings can begin with coffee on the terrace overlooking open fields, days can be spent riding through acres of pasture, and evenings can end with family gathered by the fire or enjoying the private cinema.
The combination of architectural charm, world-class equestrian facilities, additional cottages, and the ability to expand the estate’s acreage ensures Townhead Farm is more than a property. It is an opportunity to create a legacy in one of the North East’s most picturesque settings.
