The Little Stable
A former stable and tack room has been charmingly restored into a fully fitted countryside retreat. The cosy cabin has been meticulously renovated using recycled and handcrafted materials.
The Little Stable
The cabin strikes a balance between high end luxury and rustic charm…
Enter via the higgledy piggledy pallet wood fence and reclaimed front door into a ‘tardis- like’ home. The living area has a kitchenette with stylish designer hammered copper sink and colourful hand painted Talevera tiles. There’s oak flooring throughout, reclaimed pallet wood walls and a quirky feature wall utilising wood slice rounds. A comfortable plush velvet sofa with footstool, upcycled bookcase and stylish industrial radiators complete the living room. Full length handmade British wool tweed curtains frame the French doors, which open up onto an extensive outdoor seating area. The stable sits within a grass meadow and is framed on one side by a majestic 300 year old oak tree home to a pair of Barn Owls, which have successfully bred 11 chicks over the last 3 years. Sit out on the patio with a glass of wine or toast marshmallows on the fire pit while spotting Red Kites, your neighbouring Barn Owls, Kestrels and more.
To the rear of the property there’s a Scandinavian style ‘built- in’ king size cabin bed complete with luxury pocket sprung mattress, cashmere headboard and handmade patchwork quilt. Adjacent to the bedroom area is an en-suite shower room with teal tumbling blocks tile wall.
There are many horse themed, rustic and unique handcrafted items throughout but with an equal amount of luxury such as private parking, central heating, Egyptian cotton bedding, dimmable spot lights, convenient USB plug points, 4K flatscreen TV and if you don’t want to disconnect from modern life entirely there’s excellent free Wifi too.
