The Old Stables is an attractive, individual detached residence, thoughtfully designed to draw architectural inspiration from the neighbouring eighteenth century farmhouses that define this charming part of the village. Constructed in 2002, the property successfully blends the aesthetic charm and character of traditional rural architecture with the comfort and efficiency of a more modern construction. The result is a home that feels both established, while offering the practical benefits of contemporary living. The accommodation extends to over 2000sqft and is arranged across two floors, offering a flexible and versatile layout. Furthermore, the property offers scope for expansion, (subject to any necessary consents) via the room above the garage, workshop and the garage itself. Ground Floor Internally, the house presents a combination of character features and well designed living spaces. The main sitting room is a cosy yet spacious, dual aspect reception room with ceiling beams and a striking exposed brick chimney breast, the design of which gives a nod to the neighbouring 18th century farmhouses. French doors open directly onto the garden, while further double doors connect to the garden Room, allowing the living spaces to flow naturally together. Extending from the sitting room is a superb L shaped garden room, an impressive and versatile reception area that significantly enhances the living accommodation. Flooded with natural light from its clear glazed roof and windows to multiple elevations, this beautiful room provides ample space for both relaxed seating and formal dining and entertaining. Views extend across the courtyard garden and towards the park land beyond, creating a seamless connection between the house and its surrounding landscape. French doors provide access to both the front and rear gardens, making the garden room a wonderful entertaining space throughout the seasons. The breakfast kitchen forms another central hub of the home and has been thoughtfully designed to combine practicality with style. Positioned to enjoy a pleasant south westerly aspect, the room is bright and welcoming while maintaining an excellent connection to both the sitting room and the garden room. Fitted with a comprehensive range of high quality German manufactured cabinetry, the kitchen offers an abundance of storage alongside generous Quartz effect worktops and integrated appliances to include a ceramic hob, combination microwave oven, dishwasher and refrigeration. A central island unit provides additional preparation space and storage, complemented by an informal breakfast bar that creates a natural gathering point for informal dining. Exposed beams overhead add further character to the room, reinforcing the property's countryside aesthetic. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility and drying room, fitted with additional cabinetry and work surfaces alongside a traditional Belfast style sink. This practical space also houses the central heating boiler and provides plumbing for laundry appliances, as well as side access to the garden. The ground floor accommodation also includes a highly versatile double bedroom which could equally function as an additional reception room, home office or snug. With exposed beams and a pleasant outlook to the front, the room offers excellent flexibility depending on the needs of the future owner. Positioned beside a well-appointed bathroom, this arrangement makes an ideal guest suite or provides a practical solution for multigenerational living. It also allows the property to function comfortably as a single storey home if required. First Floor Upstairs, the first floor continues to offer well-proportioned and flexible accommodation arranged around a bright split level landing illuminated by skylights. The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, offering a generous and thoughtfully arranged space.

A separate walk-in wardrobe provides further storage, while the ensuite bathroom is tastefully appointed with a bath and twin wash basins set within a vanity unit. Two further double bedrooms are located on this floor, each benefiting from excellent natural light and interesting architectural features including exposed timber purlins and part pitched ceilings. These bedrooms are served by a stylish family shower room fitted with a contemporary suite. In addition to the main house, the property benefits from a substantial garage, adjoining store and workshop which provide significant additional storage and development potential. The double garage is equipped with power and lighting and includes workshop areas ideal for hobbies or practical use. Above the garage, a large boarded loft space extends into the eaves, offering excellent potential for conversion into further accommodation (subject to any necessary permissions). Outside Externally, The Old Stables enjoys an exceptional setting within approximately 1.2 acres of beautifully varied grounds, offering a rare balance between carefully designed gardens and more natural, ‘wild’ landscapes. The property is approached via a generous driveway which provides ample parking for several vehicles, including space for a motorhome, and leads to the attached double garage. The frontage retains the character of the former farmyard, lending a sense of heritage and rural authenticity that reflects the wider surroundings of the Orston Conservation Area. Immediately surrounding the house are the formal gardens and courtyard spaces, extending to approximately 0.4 acres. These areas have been thoughtfully arranged to create a series of private and sheltered seating areas designed to follow the sun throughout the day. Paved terraces, mature planting and an ornamental pond combine to create a peaceful and inviting setting. To one side of the house lies a particularly attractive courtyard garden enjoying a favourable south westerly aspect. This space connects seamlessly with the garden room, allowing the interior and exterior living areas to flow together. Beyond the formal gardens the landscape softens into a more natural setting, transitioning into a wildlife garden and small orchard rich with wildflowers, meadow grasses and mature hedgerows. This area encourages biodiversity while providing a tranquil backdrop that enhances the property’s rural character. To the western boundary lies a picturesque parcel of parkland, extending to approximately 0.8 acres. Framed by established trees and hedging, the paddock offers a beautiful open outlook from the house and presents a variety of possibilities. For those with equestrian interests it provides space for a small pony, while equally serving as an expansive extension of the garden or a wonderful recreational space. The wider setting of the property forms part of the Orston Conservation Area, known for its strong rural identity, leafy surroundings and generous open spaces. Notably, more than half of the land within the grounds is designated as significant open space within the heritage landscape, reinforcing the sense of openness and countryside that defines this charming part of the Vale of Belvoir.
