Description
East Barn is a very well appointed Grade II listed barn conversion with equestrian facilities set in 8.43 acres of gardens, grounds and paddock land.
The property forms part of the redevelopment of a farm with the barn being converted into residential use in the 1990's.
Approached up beautiful tree lined private road, the house sits privately facing onto the garden and land beyond. Whilst there are neighbours within the development, the property offers a real sense of privacy and security.
The house itself is very well laid out and includes a stunning reception and dining room complete with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a magnificent inglenook fireplace with multi fuel burner. The living areas flow with an open feel and ease of living in mind. There is a flexible space adjoining the living areas which is currently used as a snug study area.
The lovely kitchen is fully fitted with smart appliances, double Belfast sink, a beautiful Lacanche range cooker and American style fridge. The utility room is cleverly located just off the kitchen and is easily accessible from the second entrance to the house.

Outside, the garden and patio terrace are very cleverly arranged to suit a variety of outdoor activities including outdoor dining and relaxation as well as a hot tub (available by separate negotiation only) which is positioned nicely up on a raised terrace.
To the front of the property, through the electric gated entrance, is the double garage with electric charging point and motorised doors.
Beyond the lawned garden, the path leads up to the lake and grounds where the current owners have meticulously maintained a variety of orchard trees. The path leads to a delightful jetty which can be used as a viewing point to enjoy the wildlife on the water. The rowing boat (included in purchase price) is also moored here. The lake is well maintained and stocked with Carp fish.
Further up the drive are the equestrian facilities. These include a stable block, tack room, hay store and fantastic floodlit outdoor arena which is fitted with full width mirrors. This yard is logically laid out and promotes a calm and open environment for the horses. The paddocks beyond the stables include field shelters, post and rail and electric fencing and water connections.
