8 bedroom equestrian property for sale

East Bottom Farm is a well-presented property and offers light, airy and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.

The warm-toned wood flooring, extending across much of the ground floor, adds both practicality and a pleasing sense of cohesion to the reception areas. Curved step-level transitions into the sitting and adjoining dining rooms introduce a subtle design detail, while these inviting spaces provide a relaxed setting for downtime and hosting. Internal French doors link to a bright study with a pleasant garden outlook throughout the seasons.

The generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with modern cabinetry, topped with stone worksurfaces, and offers an island unit with breakfast bar, whilst ancillary space is provided by a utility room. With flexible-use options, a conservatory offers a light-filled space, currently utilised as a family/snooker room, with a door connecting to the outside.

On the first floor, there are five bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a dressing room, a modern en suite bathroom and French doors to a Juliet balcony. A stylishly appointed family bathroom features a contemporary tub and complements a smart shower room on the floor below.

ANNEXE AND STUDIO FLAT/GYM
The excellent two-bedroom annexe and studio flat/gym provide versatile-use options, including staff or dependent family accommodation, or giving the potential for an additional income stream, subject to any necessary consents.

Brick-pillars mark the access point to the property, with wrought-iron gates opening onto a length of driveway, which provides parking and extends to an area of hardstanding alongside the house.

The front garden features an attractive natural pond, with aquatic planting and a timber bridge, with a lawned surround and majestic mature trees. A low-level brick and flint wall forms a decorative frontage, with a pathway edged by fragrant lavender leading to an entrance portal.

The grounds to the rear are ideally suited to equestrian-enthusiasts, with fenced paddocks, a training ring and a stable-block. There is also a designated vegetable garden. A covered swimming pool with sauna room has an adjoining paved terrace providing a spot to lounge after a dip in the water.
