Stunning Grade ll listed character home, great size plot sitting in large grounds, with ample off road parking, situated in a convenient rural location.
The Old Stables is a fantastic Grade ll listed character home sitting in the village of Lydden, Dover.
The Old Stables is a detached home that was built during the early to mid 1800’s and is steeped in history oozing character and charm. The conversion to a residential dwelling took place a number of years ago and was converted with a family home in mind!
As you walk into the entrance reception hall it quickly becomes apparent how special this property is going to be with lots of original quirky features visible. This room has the stairs to the first floor and access to ground floor rooms. There is also access to the large undecorated storage and utility room which still has remnants of the original stables and flooring.
The rest of the ground floor accommodation comprises; W.C, fitted kitchen with separate dining room and double aspect lounge with a fire place housing a fuel burner.
The first floor has stairs leading up into an additional reception room which once would have been the hayloft, with the original hoist and door still in place! This room is used as a second lounge/ family room but has planning permission to create 2 bedrooms and an en-suite or could easily be adapted to create a huge master bedroom!
The three bedrooms are situated off the landing, along with the family bathroom.
The whole plot size certainly will not disappoint either with the long sweeping entrance drive providing access to the carport and storage areas. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a selection of mature shrubs and trees. The grounds sit next to and are over looking farmers fields.
