This stunning traditional character detached property is located within a hamlet courtyard setting on the outskirts of the popular village of Netherton which is favoured for its excellent local amenities. The property was extensively renovated and extended a few years ago incorporating the adjoining coach house to create further living accommodation and a roof top terrace from where you can enjoy some of the finest panoramic views. It is accessed via electric gates leading into a cobbled courtyard where you will find parking and access to the double garage.
Overview
About The Old Stables
The Old Stables offers versatile accommodation which has been designed to fulfil the requirements of a professional couple or growing family. It briefly comprises a contemporary dining kitchen with access to a walk-in larder and a utility room, lounge, formal dining room, cloaks/boiler room with access to a w.c., master bedroom with en suite shower room and dressing room, 2 further bedrooms, and house bathroom. In addition to the main house, a former coach house has been converted creating a spacious 4th guest bedroom with en suite shower room, and staircase rising to a large sitting room/home office. The double garage connects the two and both have access out onto the roof terrace above the garage. It is clear as you walk through the property that the renovations included considerable upgrades and high-quality installations creating a contemporary style whilst paying close attention to retaining character features such as exposed stone feature walls, exposed beam, and upgrading and retaining original glazing. The house bathroom has since been fully refurbished again with a quality white suite and fittings.
