Description
The Stablings is a charming home, in a small courtyard setting of five other properties. It was converted in 1987. The current owner has greatly improved, extended and updated the property to provide light and comfortable living accommodation, which is ideal as a weekend retreat, a first time rural purchase or perhaps a downsize.
The kitchen/breakfast room has a slate floor and bespoke wooden units, exposed stone walls
and window seat. A doorway opens to a split level dining area leading to a fabulous sitting/garden room with vaulted ceiling, with doors to the garden. On the first floor the master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, with countryside views. There are two further bedrooms and a family shower room.
The garden is to the front of the property, comprising a small lawned area with established
planting, and an adjacent gravelled parking area.
