The Property

West View Stables is a fantastic converted stone barn with set around a lovely courtyard with impressive equestrian facilities and around 5 acres of paddocks. The outbuildings include a range of stables, tack room, office, workshop and substantial barn which combine with the land and a superb manège to create an outstanding equestrian set up.

The accommodation within the attractive barn conversion wraps around two sides of the courtyard. The ground floor features three reception rooms offering great flexibility and lots of space to relax or entertain. The sitting room is a wonderfully light and airy room with a beautiful vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. Twin sliding doors open to the patio outside and bring an abundance of natural light. The patio overlooks the land and is a pleasant spot to enjoy the surroundings. Adjoining the sitting room is the cosy yet generous snug with a feature fireplace, French doors and onward access to the dining room. The dining room offers more formal entertaining space with plenty of room for a table, chairs and comfortable seating. The kitchen has a fine range of fitted cabinetry with high quality contemporary styling and discreet integrated appliances. Subtle lighting creates an inviting atmosphere and there is ample space for a table and chairs for casual dining. There is a ground floor bedroom offering accessible sleeping accommodation, or the room could be configured as a useful study if required. A cloakroom/WC off the entrance hall completes the ground floor accommodation.

There are three bedrooms arranged across the first floor, one with excellent fitted storage. The bedrooms are served by a high specification bathroom with modern suite comprising whirlpool bath, separate corner shower, wash hand basin set in a vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail, all wrapped in elegant tiling.

Externally

West View Stables benefits from excellent outbuildings that encircle the central courtyard. There are ten stone stables with oak doors and a secure tack room. In addition, one further stable is currently configured as a workshop. An office with private WC sits within the outbuildings, allowing for the separation of work and home life. A substantial barn provides vast storage space and a host of possibilities for alternative uses.

The equestrian facilities continue with a superb manège and paddocks extending to around 5 acres. The land is well-maintained and divided into four fenced paddocks with hedging to the boundaries.

A gravelled driveway leads around the property and into the enclosed courtyard. There is ample space for parking a number of vehicles.
