The property is entered via an oak door to an inner porch with glazed door leading into the main entrance hall.

Added approximately 6 years ago this wonderful addition has underfloor heating beneath the natural stone floor tiles that continue throughout this area and a stunning vaulted ceiling with exposed A-frames and skylights in addition to a set of bifold doors leading onto the patio allowing the natural light to flood in. The well-designed kitchen has a range of cream and grey base and eye level units with quartz worktop. Appliances include an American fridge/freezer, wine cooler, Rangemaster oven, and integrated dishwasher. The matching island provides seating on both sides and incorporates the Belfast sink with mixer tap and Quooker boiler tap. The generous dining area also has a vaulted ceiling with skylights and picture window overlooking the garden. The perfect place to entertain friends and family, there is ample space to accommodate a large table and chairs as it does now.

At the far end of this impressive property is the games room, having two front windows, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and tiled floor. From here the second staircase rises to the main bedroom (another impressive change the current owners have made) and a further door off the games room provides access to the rear hallway having a tiled floor and door to the garden. A door leads to the shower room having a tiled floor, opaque rear window, vanity unit with inset sink, low level flush WC and fully tiled shower enclosure. This also works as an ensuite to Bedroom 5, another double bedroom having a picture window overlooking the garden.

The accommodation comprises: open plan living, dining and kitchen on the ground floor with a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

Front Garden
The property is situated just off the Rugby Road and has a small section of shared driveway with the neighbouring property. From here the driveway turns left through the electric gates onto the paved and shingle driveway. Along the front boundary there is attractive brick walling with evergreen flower borders with a selection of cedar and pine trees. To the right of the driveway there is a lawn area with well-stocked borders and an impressive Scots pine tree. The right boundary is enclosed by brick piers and wooden fencing with a circular terrace flanked by colourful flower borders. The driveway continues through a wide gate to the workshop, stables, additional parking and land. To the right of the driveway there are brick built outbuildings having a pitched slate roof with light and power connected. There is a covered wood store and a greenhouse.

Rear Garden
As the photographs show the garden is a particular feature of The Stables, with a generous lawn area, established trees and hedges making it very private. To the side of the property is a well-designed cottage garden with raised beds, space for pots, and a water irrigation system, the perfect place to grow your own vegetables! Running along the rear of the property is a very generous patio area which has attractive natural stone tiles, ample seating areas and a covered dining area with light and power connected, making this the perfect place for alfresco dining. The rear garden measures around 1/3 of an acre.

Workshop
At the end of the drive and to the rear of the property is a large workshop and additional parking for horseboxes etc. A personnel door and automatic roller door provide access to this generous building measuring (8.14m x 10.11m). Having light and power connected, this is the perfect place to store special cars and motorbikes and to enjoy time away from the day to day stresses. Some might even call this space the perfect “man cave”.

Stables, Outdoor Arena & Land
Next to the workshop are the stables and yard. There are 3 stables with full drainage and space for a hay store. The stables have automatic water troughs (as does the land) and there are also fans within the stables to keep them cool in the summer months. Outside the stables is a useful yard with hard standing and access to the land and arena. The sand arena measures 30m x 18m and has floodlit lighting. The well drained land is currently divided into 2 paddocks and can be seen from the main house.

Additional Information
The paddock land is on a separate title and is subject to an overage clause which runs for 30 years and refers to a 30% clawback in the uplift of the value should development be granted.
