Collingbourne Kingston, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8

DESCRIPTON

The Old Stables is one of a number of stylish boutique barn conversions which make up the notable Manor Farm development, converted as part of a small and exclusive development in 2008.

Occupying a no through road setting, this Grade II Listed property is of brick elevations, under a slate tiled roof and relieved by double glazed windows. The house enjoys a wonderful contemporary feel yet retains many of the period features and benefits from an abundance of natural light throughout.

At 2320 square feet, the house is a great size and centres around the spacious entrance hallway, off which you access the study. The sitting room, with Inglenook style fireplace with gas fired stove and oak flooring, offers an impressive and relaxing space and leads out to the garden through double doors. The kitchen/dining room has a travertine tiled floor and is a wonderful open-plan space room, with integrated appliances and plenty of space for a dining table. It is ideal for entertaining or family meals and opens onto the garden beyond.

Steps lead from the kitchen down to a large boot room and utility room, with steps also going up to the home office, which could also double up as a fourth bedroom. This end of the house could easily be sectioned off to form a separate annexe with its own front door and garden area and could make a great Airbnb opportunity.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, all of which are accessed off the generous landing. The principal bedroom is of grand proportions and boasts built in cupboards and a modern ensuite bathroom. The two further bedrooms are served by the well-appointed family bathroom, with bath and separate shower.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached over a gravel drive which provides parking for numerous cars. The front garden is enclosed by post and rail fencing and laid to lawn with shrub borders. The rear garden offers great privacy and is part-paved and mainly laid to lawn, complemented by a wide variety of plants and shrubs. With its southerly aspect, the garden enjoys an abundance of sunshine and there are two separate patio seating areas, perfect for alfresco dining. There is a timber shed providing useful space for garden storage and a gate to the side of the garden gives access to a quiet lane.
