The Old Stables is a detached building constructed of brick with tiled roof and arranged for the most part, over two storeys. It is believed to have been constructed in the late 19th Century and in the early 2000’s was subject to a scheme of modernisation to create a 5 bedroom property, which has, in recent years, been used as a guest house to derive a useful income. The accommodation is superbly proportioned and spacious, ideally suited to family living.

The Old Stables is accessed off Lodge Lane via a private gated entrance which opens onto a wide stone sett parking & turning area. It is within the curtilage of a Listed building. Adjacent to the parking area are a series of grassed areas which could be landscaped to create lawns & floral borders. The drive continues to the left to the rear of the property where there is a large, private courtyard with stone sets which previously will have been used as parking & stables, but now provides an attractive courtyard with seating & barbecue area.

The front door opens into a wide hall with open staircase and feature fireplace. To the right of hall is the sitting room and off which is a cosy snug. The sitting room has moulded cornice, dual aspect, fireplace and 3 sets of double doors which open onto the courtyard. To the left of the hall is an inner hall which gives access to the dining room which is a well-proportioned room with wooden effect floor, cornice and 2 sets of double doors to the courtyard. At the end of the inner hall is a downstairs w.c., small study and access to the kitchen. The kitchen is L-shaped, offering kitchen units, dining area and utility area.
