History and Description Ashridge Farm is a Grade II listed country house on the Radnage Ridge. Built in the late 17th century, the property has undergone extensive alterations and re-modelling. The house has brick and flint elevations under a tiled roof. A large one bedroom annexe is situated immediately adjacent to the house and was originally a stable building. Set away from the house is a good brick and flint cottage offering 2 / 3 bedrooms and a large garden. Between the two stands a range of useful agricultural buildings, which include the main timber barn (divided to provide offices, gym, storage and garaging) and two large wooden buildings (offering storage / workshop in one and stabling in the other). A further building provides additional stabling, feed store and tack room and there are further stores and sheds. There are 47.2 acres of freehold land surrounding the property. Arranged as permanent pasture there has been extensive woodland planting undertaken. The present owners have made improvements throughout the ‘mini estate’ which have been enormously sympathetic and much attention has been given to detail. Renovation and improvements have been implemented to a very high standard throughout, providing comfortable accommodation.
