Kitchen

The kitchen has dual aspect windows, spotlights, a part vaulted ceiling, and a range of bespoke wall and base units by the German company Hacker. The wall units have under unit lighting. The base units are all drawer units, some with internal drawers, and are standard depth at floor level with deeper 850 mm drawers above. The work surfaces incorporate a stainless steel sink and drainer, and a Zanussi electric hob with a new Bosch electric oven below. Newly installed Haier integrated appliances include a washing machine and a dishwasher, and there is currently a space for additional units. A mezzanine storage area above has a feature circular window and houses the water cylinder.

Equestrian Facilities

The main stable block was designed and constructed by the vendors for use as a stud farm, electricity throughout, feature brick English roses on the frontage and reclaimed cast iron windows. The foaling boxes, stables and youngster barns surround a central courtyard which has a brick built loading ramp to facilitate entry to horse boxes. The youngster barns, foaling boxes and two of the stables have bespoke made to measure Lodden doors to the courtyard. The doors can be shut from inside the boxes and have plexiglass windows above. All the stables and foaling boxes also have doors to a utility corridor at the rear which allows the boxes to be mucked out without mess in the courtyard.

Paddocks

The property has direct access to the bridleway network, and is almost equidistant between Addington Manor Equestrian Centre and Bury Farm Equestrian Centre. The main paddocks are south facing and slope away from the buildings. They are accessed via metal mesh gates and are enclosed by post and rail fencing and hedges and have a water supply. At the furthest end of the plot there is a public footpath which crosses about halfway along the edge of one paddock. The footpath is fenced off for security. In the top corner of the plot adjacent to Dean Road a fenced off area has been leased to EE for a phone mast. The lease has about 43 years remaining at which time the land will revert to the property.
