A unique, single storey, high quality barn conversion, providing bright, characterful accommodation with a wealth of beams and exposed brickwork. The property benefits from a private, professionally landscaped, west facing garden with an open cartlodge, large workshop, and ample off road parking. There is also a recently re-fitted German made kitchen from By Design and the two larger bedrooms have modern en-suite bathrooms. Unusually, the bulk of the accommodation is on the ground floor offering complete versatility with any unused bedrooms lending themselves to becoming a playroom, snug, office space, or used for numerous other purposes. The property enjoys an unexpected 'C' rated EPC making it efficient to run, and is offered with no upward chain.
The property is exceptionally light with high, vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers throughout. It is understood that during the conversion in 2008, the roof timbers were carefully removed, numbered, cleaned, treated, and then meticulously reassembled in their original place. The accommodation has been carefully planned with the living spaces thoughtfully separated from the bedrooms, adding to the sense of privacy within the bathrooms and sleeping areas, and the inner hall way that leads to these rooms is bathed with natural light provided by roof lights.
Set in a small high quality development of just four dwellings, The Old Stables enjoys an incredibly private setting with a private driveway leading to the development and a separate graveled drive giving access via secure gates to the property. The front of the house is not overlooked and offers an unrivaled level of privacy with ample parking space and a path leading to the front door. The entrance hall is welcoming with a vaulted ceiling and beautiful Oak flooring and there is a built in storage cupboard and a modern cloakroom off. The sitting room enjoys a sense of drama with its high ceilings and exposed architectural timbers and with large floor to ceiling windows and French doors to the front, and French doors to the rear, it enjoys an abundance of natural light. There is a beautiful brick inglenook inset with a log burner with a bressumer over, an exposed chimney breast with attractive brick detailing, and an oak staircase that leads to the mezzanine; an ideal spot for a study, a play area, or just another sitting space with incredible views into the supporting timbers and the living space below. Glazed double doors from the sitting room lead to the recently refitted kitchen dining room. This again is a lovely triple-aspect room, enjoying exposed roof timbers, there is a circular brick feature within the exposed chimney breast and a circular window in the gable end. The kitchen area is beautifully fitted with a very high quality, fully integrated kitchen. There is a large island incorporating a breakfast bar and built-in storage and this is inset with a venting hob that extracts whilst cooking. The sleek design also features twin glide and slide ovens, a microwave, wine chiller and warmer, and an integrated, dishwasher and full size fridge and separate freezer. A dining area adjacent to French doors enjoys lots of natural light and easy access out to a decked area to the front.
The Inner hallway has a vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers, and a built in storage cupboard and leads to four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a utility room with a sink, fitted cupboards and space for a washing machine and dryer. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and is very spacious with a deep double wardrobe and a modern en-suite shower room fitted with a large shower enclosure, w.c. and handbasin. There is a second generous double overlooking the front garden with an en-suite shower room, and two further doubles, both with views over the garden.
