Description
Renovated country home and cottage on about 18 acres in a private setting
The Stables Main Residence
This utterly charming home is nestled at the end of a private laneway and can be entered via the front door through the garden or a red-painted door in the sunny rear courtyard. From the moment you enter the home, it is obvious that a lot of care and attention has been given to style, comfort and good use of space throughout the home. The interiors blend traditional character with modern convenience and the layout, while traditional, works for the modern occupier. The owners have super taste and the improvements they have made since purchasing the home are evident.
A welcoming country kitchen features a restored Aga, modern appliances and timber beams with steps leading to an impressive dining room with a vaulted ceiling and French doors opening to a west-facing patio with panoramic countryside views.
On the other side of the kitchen, a timber-beamed archway leads into a bright conservatory with views to both the east and west. French doors open out to a stone courtyard, while parquet flooring, exposed stone walls, and feature lighting add character.
The lounge (off the entrance hall) includes a tiled floor, striking stone fireplace with a timber beam mantel and ceiling, a room made for cosy evenings in. The sitting room is well furnished, again with a stone fireplace and timber mantel, bright, light filled and attractive recessed shelving with ambient lighting. This room is surprisingly large and is private from the rest of the home.
Upstairs there are four beautifully decorated bedrooms, three of which are ensuite, with all having expansive countryside views. Throughout the house, period features such as sash windows and exposed beams combine with a thoughtful modern layout. The Stables is one of the finest examples of how an old farmhouse can be transformed into a modern, comfortable family home without losing any of its period appeal.
The Stables Cottage
The cottage, located across the courtyard from the sunroom, has been carefully renovated and retains the charm and luxury of the main house. It includes a spacious open plan living/kitchen area, two bedrooms, a mezzanine area for relaxation and two bathrooms. This building is ideal for multi-generational families who may need separate accommodation e.g. an elderly parent or a son/daughter who are yet to get onto the property ladder.
The Stables Games and TV room
A perfect place for children and young adults (resident or visiting) with enough space for a variety of different activities. The room has been upgraded by the current owners and the finish is of such a high quality. Off the main room, there is a bathroom and further down the hall, an office or indeed a home gym or bedroom.
The Stables Studio
This room was recently renovated and is designed and laid out to take advantage of the high ceilings. The building is bright and airy, and the living section is a welcome addition for anyone who has a need for home studio or a very up market home office.
Gardens & Grounds
The gardens are a highlight of the property, with formal gardens and informal lawns bordered by mature hedging and surrounded by paddocks and open grassland. The outdoor space is ideal for family activity or entertaining and comprises a tennis court, raised vegetable beds, a patio area which is ideal for summer BBQs and woodland walks that are just magical.
Outbuildings
The property includes a large shed with separate fully fitted workshop suitable for a range of uses. The shed is separate to the main home, is easily accessible from the main courtyard and has water and electricity facilities.
Land
To the north of the site, there is a separate entrance that gives access to the rear grassland, enhancing the property's versatility. The land slopes away from the house and is well drained to the lake at the end of the property. There is also a forestry portion of the grounds which has an amenity value to the current owners and is a natural buffer for privacy.
Services
Private well water with an integrated water conditioner and purifier, septic tank, mains electricity, power point for a EV, oil-fired central heating, and broadband.
