This detached period conversion is situated within a location where property rarely comes up for sale. The current owners have made significant changes and improvements to both the interior and the gardens, making for a very homely period property with fantastic outside space of over half an acre.

Like many barns, The Stables is extremely unique and offers a very adaptable layout which will cater for a number of different purchasers. The separation of the two wings for instance would be ideal for those working from home or wanting annexe accommodation.

The main property has bedroom and bathroom space downstairs, once again representing an excellent versatility which not only suits families but also those wanting to downsize or looking for a property all on one level.

The grounds also stand this property apart from others, with an extensive gated frontage affording plentiful parking for those with multiple vehicles including caravans, motorhomes and the like, whilst the large rear gardens featuring total seclusion and a lovely rural backdrop complete the package and greatly add to the wonderful lifestyle on offer here.

The property is approached from the lane via an impressive entrance with electric wrought iron gates giving way to a large walled courtyard at the front of the barn.


This extensive frontage provides a wealth of parking for many vehicles of all shapes and sizes, with a delightful arch providing ease of access from the driveway through to the rear gardens.


Entrance
Once through the front door, one is greeted by a tastefully appointed interior full of rustic character features blending nicely with contemporary bathrooms and a kitchen.


Living room
There is no doubt viewers will be amazed by the vastly spacious main living room, which has an incredible lofty vaulted ceiling complete with a mezzanine area accessed via a wonderful cast iron spiral staircase.

This room floods with light from multiple windows and French doors, which also provide lovely views of the gardens and countryside beyond. At the centre of this room is a large wood burner backed by rustic brickwork.


Mezzanine
The aforementioned mezzanine area comprises three different sections ideal for use as a first-floor study/recreational area and/or bedroom space, with bathroom facilities at the far end.

The first area is currently being used as an office and features a balustrade overlooking the living room. This section is set up for a living and occasional bedroom space and features down lighters, wood laminate flooring, Velux windows and a door leading to the adjoining WC.


Kitchen
There is a fantastic kitchen, which has been tastefully refitted by the current owners. The expansive kitchen is great for modern living, catering beautifully for entertaining and cooking in one space and flowing nicely out to the rear garden perfect for alfresco dining.

There is a high vaulted ceiling with accompanying beams and the kitchen comprises matching wall and base units, a central island with a solid wood top/breakfast bar, work surfaces with an inset Belfast sink and space for a Range style oven with an extractor above.


Bedroom one
The bedrooms and bathroom in the main part of the barn are nicely separated from the living accommodation, with the impressive 17ft master bedroom benefiting from a beautifully appointed contemporary shower room, which has been refitted by the sellers.

The main bedroom floods with light from dual-aspect windows and has a lovely high ceiling featuring exposed timbers.

The ensuite features aesthetically pleasing mosaic tiled walls, a shower area with a black rainfall shower and a washstand incorporating storage, a washbasin and a contemporary black tap. There is also a column radiator completing the stylish finish.


Bedroom two
Bedroom two is a spacious double bedroom serviced by a well-appointed bathroom.

Bathroom
The bathroom has been refitted to a contemporary design, complete with a panelled bath and shower above backed by metro tiled walls in addition to stylish blue fitted furniture incorporating a washbasin, storage and a low-level WC with hidden cistern.


Annexe
The remaining section of the property is effectively a self-contained annexe, which is separated from the main barn by the driveway. The self-contained nature of this wing will no doubt be ideal for those wanting a quiet space for home business or an area that is totally geared towards relatives of whatever age who want their own space.

The annexe is currently made up of four sections, which are set up as a reception room/gym, a kitchen area with an adjoining bedroom and a shower room.

This spacious living room has two windows to the front aspect and an internal door flowing through to the kitchen area, which comprises matching wall and base units, work surfaces with an inset sink with a drainer, and space for various appliances.

From here doors access a double bedroom featuring downlighters and a beautifully appointed contemporary shower room, which is nicely styled similar to those in the main property, having fully tiled white and blue walls giving a fresh feel, and a circular washbasin mounted on a wooden stand. There is also a shower cubicle having attractive black trim.


Garden
The outside space on offer beautifully complements the rest of the property, extending to 0.6 acres in total with the rear boasting a delightful rural backdrop affording total privacy and tranquillity.

The current owners have gone to great lengths to make the most of this excellent space, creating a paved terrace ideal for entertaining, which comes complete with an area perfect for outside cooking and great for barbeques and the like.

Both the terrace and adjoining decking enjoy wonderful wide-angle views of the surrounding countryside taking in nearby Arley Wood to Kinver Edge beyond.
The rest of the grounds are made up of extensive lawns, which wrap around to the side of the barn and are bordered by mature hedging.

Services
The property has LPG central heating, mains electricity, mains water, septic tank and broadband.
