Built in the late 1700s our Grade 2 listed cottage was originally a stable, but is now a beautifully renovated home retaining many original features and all the mod cons needed for a cosy, luxurious break. Situated in the heart of the market town of Sturminster Newton, The Old Stable has all conveniences on its doorstep and delightful rural riverside walks from its door. Within an hour's drive are numerous National Trust sites, the stunning Jurrasic Coast and the New Forest National Park. Filled with character you’ll enter The Old Stable into its terracotta tiled hallway with its ancient wood-panelled walls. Leading off of the hall is the open-plan Living Room and Kitchen with its bright east/west aspect which floods with light. With its Rayburn in kitchen and log burner in the living room this is a really cosy space, in colder months, to cook meals, snuggle up and generally relax in. The kitchen has beautiful, original French doors leading out into the cute walled, courtyard garden. There’s a dining table that comfortably seats 6 and a dishwasher to do the chores! The entrance hallway also leads into the lovely Utility Room at the back of the house which is home to the washing machine, lots of storage and work surfaces and a window seat for putting on your boots. The top of the twisting staircase opens out into an unusually spacious, wood-panelled landing area with exposed beam, antique school desk for working from home and doors leading off into the 2 bedrooms and bathroom. The bathroom has a beautiful claw-foot bath which is ideal for spoiling yourself with a long relaxing soak (and also has a shower over it if you’re in more of a rush!). The bedrooms are super cosy; a double and a king size separated by a unique wooden wall. Outside the cottage has the cutest, west-facing, private walled garden which catches the sun through the afternoon and early evening. There’s a BBQ for al fresco cooking.
