Stables Cottage

About this property

A modern, homely semi-detached barn conversion located on the grounds of a working riding school and livery yard between the tranquil villages of East Norton and Hallaton in Leicestershire. A simple yet comforting layout, the accommodation provides plenty of room inside and out, along with a view of the unforgettable surrounding Leicester countryside. With the village being home to around 100 people, it is the perfect location for a quiet family break away from the hustle and bustle, with excellent walking, cycling and horse riding. The one-door entry into Stables Cottage takes you straight into the spacious utility/bootroom with Belfast sink and work surface, this is followed by the modernized kitchen diner which flows nicely into the sitting room, boasting a superb view of the surrounding open countryside and the patio garden. Substantially sized WC and bedroom with two single beds complete the downstairs. Heading to the refreshingly decorated upstairs, a large, wooden-floored landing is revealed with yet another astonishing view of the area. Two enormous bedrooms stand upstairs along with a similarly sized bathroom. A car park sits at the front of the house, with room for at least four cars. The back garden presents an enclosed paved area with surrounding gravel, the perfect place to watch the sunset with a glass of wine. Less than two miles away is the picturesque village of Hallaton. Listed in The Sunday Times ten Best Villages in Britain, Hallaton has two good pubs and a popular tea room. Just a short drive from East Norton is the traditional town of Uppingham, offering multiple days out including galleries, tea rooms and a weekly Friday market.
