This magnificent converted stable is set in over five acres of landscaped and historic gardens and originally dates from the 17th century with latter editions to the building made in the 18th and 20th Centuries to further enhance the expansive living accommodation. Lords is a superb and charming period building set over two floors, steeped in history and with its own staggering charm and individuality.

The stable building forms part of the original estate and is surrounded by historic outbuildings buildings which adds to the historic charm. The double height entrance hall gives access to superb and spacious accommodation which is wonderfully flexible and split over two floors with the main reception room and open plan bespoke fitted kitchen dining room occupying the first floor with galleried and original beamed ceiling and featuring a superb double height picture window over the pond and gardens, log burning stove and separate study/reading area, this room is a real gem and takes full advantage of the historic feel and nature of the stable conversion. There is an additional ground floor reception room again with log burning stove. There are four spacious double bedrooms, split over the two floors, with the principal bedroom incorporating an en-suite bathroom and private balcony, perfect for taking lazy breakfasts.

OUTSIDE:

Along with the house itself an extra dimension to the let and a real jewel is its extensive plot and beautiful gardens which extends over 5 acres and has many different landscaped and themed sections including a Victorian style period walled garden, wonderful croquet lawn, well stocked and kitchen garden, wild area perfect for the local wildlife to enjoy and many other areas which are all beautifully tended by the gardener, who will remain in attendance as part of the let. Given the nature of the building and grounds we do not feel the let would be suitable for families with young children. The property is on private drainage and all other services are mains connected.
