FROM THE CURRENT OWNERS The Old Stables has undergone a remarkable transformation since we acquired it in 2017. Originally a derelict stable and tack room, we fell in love with its location and breath-taking views, inspiring us to reimagine the property while preserving its historic charm.

We meticulously redesigned the structure, retaining the original roof trusses and as much of the original timber as possible, seamlessly incorporating them into the new build. After laying entirely new foundations and installing a modern drainage system, we constructed the house using the finest materials available. The property features a Welsh slate roof, fully insulated walls and roof, and hardwood double-glazed windows.

As a new build, The Old Stables is equipped with state-of-the-art systems, including electrics, plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, all certified by Chelmsford Building Control.

Our vision for the outdoor space expanded when we acquired additional land, doubling the size of the plot. This allowed us to create a beautiful outdoor entertaining area. The outdoor kitchen, crafted from reclaimed materials, includes mains gas, electric, a fridge, and a BBQ seating area. It's a perfect social space for summer evenings, with views overlooking the countryside and abundant wildlife.

In 2022, we were granted planning permission to construct a beautiful oak-timbered frame barn, now complete with a two-bay garage and a separate workshop. The barn features its own WiFi, alarm system, and security cameras. Adjacent to the barn, a charming seating area with a hot tub provides yet another spot to enjoy the serene outdoor environment.
 

AGENT NOTES The property is of timber frame construction.

There is an overage on the land where the double garage is built. This overage is for a period of 30 years from October 2020. The overage payment would be triggered if a residential property was built on that parcel of land. The overage payment would be a payment of 30% of the difference between the enhanced value and the purchase value of £45,000. The land is only to be used together with the rest of the property, as a single private residence. For more information, contact Martin & Co
