VERY ATTRACTIVE PERIOD PROPERTY IN A SECURE GATED COURTYARD WITHIN THE GROUNDS OF THE HISTORIC DALLINGTON HALL BENEFITTING FROM BEAUTIFUL COMMUNAL GARDENS AND GARAGE The Old Stables is a stunning mews style residence set within the historic Dallington Hall, dating back to circa 1720. Once the home of the Raynsford family and later Earl Spencer's town house, this property boasts a rich history. The Old Stables was converted from the original barn and stable block and forms one, of just four, select charming homes. Accessed through grand wrought iron electric gates, the property opens to a serene central courtyard, all under the watchful gaze of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin. Upon entering, you will find a spacious entrance hall with a tiled floor and a convenient cloakroom. The large, inviting principal sitting room features a Georgian-style multi pane window overlooking the front, a central fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove and timber mantle above, as well as wall light points and original exposed beams. Adjacent to the entrance hall, the dining room offers generous space, with a window framing the front view towards the church with beautiful, exposed stone walls and timber beams on the ceiling, along with a useful walk-in utility. This area flows seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, complete with a range of base and eye-level cupboards, contrasting work surfaces and fitted appliances. The kitchen retains its character with exposed stonework and timber beams, complemented by another window overlooking the courtyard and church. On the first floor, a spacious landing, currently used as a study, with twin casement windows leads to the charming principal bedroom, which features spacious built-in wardrobes. There is also an additional double bedroom and a recently updated four-piece bathroom suite, enhancing the comfort of this floor. This property beautifully marries historic charm with stylish modern living, offering a stunning and exclusive home or opportunity for a superb lock up and go, second home or a down size.
