Detached former stable in the heart of Stow with off road parking.
The Old Stables, situated a short walk into the centre of Stow-on-the-Wold, was purchased by the current owners back in 2005 and was originally a stable barn thought to date back to 1680. They set about transforming the land and original old barn into a contemporary barn-style property with a wealth of period features. Large oak beams, stone floors and an abundance of floor-to-ceiling windows give this property a light and airy feeling yet retaining a warm and cosy atmosphere. The deceptively spacious accommodation provides an open-plan sitting/dining room with a discreetly tucked away yet open-plan kitchen with country-style wall and base units, granite work surfaces and integrated appliances. The principal bedroom sits on one side of the property and has a dressing area and an en suite bathroom with a corner bath. To the other end of the property lies the double guest bedroom with a further shower room. The property benefits from numerous clever storage solutions throughout. Whilst being the subject of a bestselling book, the property has also been featured in other publications such as Cotswold Life, Countryside Magazine and Self Build and Design Magazine.OutsideThe property is privately located with off-road parking for one vehicle, a real plus for the centre of Stow. Approached through an entrance off the driveway, the private walled gardens have an array of well-stocked borders, along with a delightful terrace and summer house to take full advantage of any al fresco entertaining.Please note this property is not eligible for holiday letting
