THE OLD STABLE YARD The Old Stable Yard is a stunning home discreetly tucked away and sits on a generous plot of c.1.25 acres on the edge of the highly sought after village of Great Milton. There are some houses that 'stand out' as being just that bit special. The Old Stable Yard is one of those, it's no exaggeration to say that this house stops you in your tracks. The house is a short walk from the popular local pub (The Bull) as well as the well regarded village primary school. Great Milton itself is home to Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons, the renowned luxury Michelin starred hotel and restaurant. The village is surrounded by gorgeous countryside walks but is only moments from junction 7 of the M40.

The approach is via a private gated gravel driveway, which leads to the triple stable block, with tack room, workshop and ample parking beyond. This space also has the potential to be converted into garaging, a self-contained annexe or office space.

The Old Stable Yard is a much loved and stunning horseshoe shaped home with stylish interiors, which has been impeccably converted from an agricultural barn, echoing the original barn's form. This house offers generous square footage and fabulous open plan living space where the natural light spills in through the floor to ceiling glazing. It has been thoughtfully designed and we love a home that is both beautiful and practical.

Into the house itself and you'll find an impressive 30ft light and airy open plan kitchen/dining/living room, the welcoming heart of this home, with bi-folding doors, floor to ceiling glazing and limestone flooring with underfloor heating. The kitchen itself is bespoke with high end fittings and comes complete with kitchen island, there is also plenty of room for a large dining table, creating a sociable, family centred space ideal for both family living and entertaining. The living room is at the far end, snug and cosy but with plenty of space and bespoke fitted shelving and cabinets. There is also a sizeable utility area neatly tucked away off the kitchen behind closed doors, which has a convenient stable door - perfect for taking off muddy boots and drying off the dog after a country walk!

The living space flows seamlessly out onto the fabulous, paved terrace with pergola perfect for entertaining and relaxing with attractive South facing lawned gardens beyond, surrounded by mature hedging and young trees. A keen gardener would much enjoy the space. It also comes with the benefit of a large barn tucked away in the corner of the garden. The Old Stable Yard neighbours rolling farmland and enjoys open field views. There is also the possibility of renting up to 6 acres of adjoining paddock land by separate negotiation.

Across the connecting hallway, the house continues to wow, there is a guest cloakroom and separate snug with built in bookshelves. Flexible in purpose this room would also make an ideal home office, playroom or 4th bedroom.
