The property
Designed by Lippe Architects, The Old Stables was built some 12 years ago offering more than 2,300 sq. ft. The light-filled flexible family accommodation with under floor heating throughout is arranged in an L-shape and is set around a central courtyard. There are many retained period features including exposed beams and local materials such as slate, granite and stone.

The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall overlooking the courtyard. The beautiful kitchen/sitting room with vaulted ceiling and exposed ‘A’ frame beams has flagstone flooring and enjoys an adjoining fitted utility room with a door to the garden. The kitchen has a range of modern wooden wall and base units, quartz worktops and splashbacks, a black Aga and modern integrated appliances. The dining area has space for a good-sized table and sitting area with stone fireplace and woodburning stove offers a tranquil space for evening entertaining, the whole area flooded with natural light with full-height glazing and skylights. There are two sets of French doors to the courtyard.

A bedroom wing with vaulted ceilings throughout comprises a spacious principal bedroom with built-in storage and contemporary en suite shower room with French doors to a decked terrace, an additional double bedroom with built-in storage, modern en suite shower room and French doors to a decked terrace. There are 3 further well-proportioned double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.

The well-maintained wraparound rear garden is laid mainly to level lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and vegetable garden. There are decked terraces, ideal for entertaining with the whole enjoying views over the surrounding countryside.
