Lower Green, Ilmington, Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire

The Stable Barn is built of coursed limestone beneath a pitched clay tiled roof and possibly dates from the 19th Century. To the left of the main facade is a weather boarded opening in the centre together with two attractive deep sash windows with moulded round headed arches. Formerly an outbuilding range part of The Howard Arms Inn, the property is Grade II Listed for its Architectural and Historic Interest and was converted in 1992. The property overlooks an area of green dominated by magnificent horse chestnut tree forming part of an attractive street scene of traditional properties being much photographed and lies within the village Conservation Area. The living accommodation which is deceptively spacious extends to over 1,593 sq ft and would appeal to those buyers looking for a main home, second home or investment property. The property retains the expected characters features of the era and is beautifully presented throughout.
The stable Barn is entered via an attractive split level, part full height entrance hall with turned staircase with storage below, flagged floors and an exposed stone wall leading to a well appointed modern shower room. There are two sizeable reception rooms including a charming sitting room entered via double doors with an attractive double aspect, central fireplace with an open fire and fitted cabinets with shelving above to either side. French doors lead out to the garden. The dining room is also double aspect and is well proportioned ideal for formal entertaining with a timber boarded floor. On the lower level accessed from the entrance hall is a bespoke hand painted kitchen/breakfast room with beech block timber work surfaces, Leisure Rangemaster Stove and space for breakfast table and chairs. The utility room provides access to the rear garden. Accessed from an attractive first floor landing with good storage are three fully vaulted bedrooms with exposed purlins and Velux roof lights. All are double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. There is a well appointed family bathroom.
One of the special features of the property is the enclosed rear garden with secure timber gates giving access to valuable private parking laid to tarmacadam. The garden is sizable with areas of lawn, raised beds for growing vegetables and mature borders bounded by either drystone walling or mature hedges for privacy. The furthest part of the garden has been left as a wild area with a mown path way through leading to an off lying piece of garden. There is a pretty timber summer house, two greenhouses, pergola and BBQ area. The garden is mature and planted in a cottage style to compliment the property.
