Description
Hillside Stables is a separate annexed building, to the main house, a hidden period gem with spectacular gardens. This Grade II Listed home and family house, dates back to 1715 with some extensions c.1820. We renovated the separate old stables building to build a mezzanine king-sized bed deck and shower room in this completely separate private annex, with its own entrance. The space The Stables overlook the large and established formal gardens in circa 0.402 of an acre, as well as a beautiful yew tree believed to be c.500-600 years old, among others. The Old Stables is a modern renovation of the home's stables that are believed, pre-war time, to have hosted groomsmen and their horses when they visited the neighbouring local hostelery, the Post Office Tavern. When prisoners were being transported across the country, they were housed in the small jail across the road, which you can still see across from our gate today. Post war the Stables was known to locals as the Gardener's Cottage. You will be welcome to use the orchard garden, which captures the afternoon and evening sun seasonally. It can only be used until 7pm and only by our guests at the Stables. We have lovely neighbours in the nearby cottages and it's important to us to keep noise to a minimum in this tranquil area. You may also be offered a space in a gated off street car parking area, on request and if available. Hillside is by a main road, though high walls in situ, so additional parking outside the building should also be possible, provided it is secured at less busy commuting times. A sofa bed, children’s fold out bed or cotbed may also be made available if needed, subject to discussion over availability, costs etc. A basket of childrens toys and books can also be provided on request, as can some baby/ toddler items. Guest access The Old Stables is a completely separate annexed building in the grounds of the old Grade 2 listed house. As it is a separate building, it will be provided entirely for your own sole use during your stay. The listing price includes the luxurious Vispring king sized bed on the mezzanine bed deck (please see photos - this is a bed deck not a bedroom). Should you wish to make use of the sofa bed or to have a cotbed or toddler bed brought up, then extra charges may apply. While toddlers are welcome, please be aware they will need to be supervised as there are various staircases - as you can see in the photos. Babes in arms and older children should hopefully require less patrolling. If the sofabed is used, then the amount of space in the living area will obviously be restricted as you can see in the photos. It isn't a huge space and there are no doors between the sofabed area and the mezzanine bed deck. As the area is all open plan and compact, it is usually best suited to parents and children or the like.
