As its name suggests, Tunstall Stables was once the stables to neighbouring Tunstall House which, together with the stable and other picturesque buildings, enjoyed long ownership by the same family spanning some 200 years. Separated in recent years, the Stables now provides a lovely country village home in a generous garden. Sensitively converted in 1990/92 the house is Grade II listed and has a great deal of character behind mellow brick elevations.

The front door opens to a spacious beamed reception hall, off which is a cloakroom and stairs rise to the first floor. To the back of the house is the bright kitchen/breakfast room with plenty of room for a table. It is fitted with a range of units and adjacent is a utility room.

The generous, light filled, triple aspect sitting/dining room has an open brick fireplace with beam over. Doors to either side lead to the kitchen/breakfast room and to a study, also with a fireplace. Beyond is a conservatory with an outlook over the garden.

On the first floor are four good size bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room. A bathroom completes the accommodation.

This property has 0.73 acres of land.

Outside

A lengthy gravel drive flanked by wide grass verges leads to plenty of parking to the front of the house. A tall brick wall along one boundary creates a sheltered area over which the conservatory enjoys an outlook towards a mature cherry tree, with established beech and yew hedges providing structure. To the end of the garden is a shed/garden store. The remainder is a pretty orchard with views over neighbouring farmland.

The gardens provide a wonderful space to enjoy the house, with room to grow vegetables, keep chickens and such like, if desired.
