The Stables is a unique contemporary family property enjoying a lovely village setting with stables and overlooking its own 7 acres of land divided into 3 separate post and rail paddocks.
Architect designed and orientated to take full advantage of the south westerly views from the rear, the property offers large and light rooms with liberal and effective use of glass walls and full height glazing which serve to emphasise the outlook and cheerful interior space.
The characteristics of light and space are immediately apparent in the reception hall flooded with morning sunlight through double height glazing into the feature wood and glass galleried landing and staircase. Thereafter there are two family living rooms, a study and open living kitchen with dining space, again extensive glazing across the rear of the house including six way bi-folding doors throwing the lounge onto patio terrace, a large utility/boot room and a downstairs wc complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs there are five en suite double bedrooms fed from two staircases enabling bedrooms four and five, along with the second ground floor living room to work separately in an annexe fashion in case this helps those with dependent family, au pair or similar. This arrangement does not detract from the normal flow of the five bedroom family house where no such additional accommodating factors are necessary.
