Property description

A stunning and impeccably presented 4 reception roomed, 4 bedroomed detached house which is an absolute joy to behold. The Old Stables is set in a semi-rural idyl on the fringes of the highly regarded village of Woodbury with a secluded rear garden and off road parking.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
As the name of The Old Stables suggests part of this property, which dates from 1885, was used as a stable block for a large country residence and was extended in 1995. Its exterior of mellow brick under a slate roof with natural wooden framed double glazed windows is aesthetically appealing. On first glance the house is deceiving as its L shaped front makes it look much smaller than the extremely spacious interior that unfolds within. The current vendors have thoroughly enjoyed living here for the past 11 years and during that time have enhanced the property to provide rooms which are stylish, charming and full of character. Period features such as a brick inglenook fireplace and exposed beams sit comfortably alongside a superb modern kitchen, bath and shower rooms which are high specification and finished to exacting standards. This is without doubt a very desirable home and an early viewing is essential and highly recommended to appreciate every aspect of this property and the superb lifestyle opportunity it affords.
