The Stables, Stafford, ST17 0RD

Once up a time, this barn was home to more than just hay bales and saddle straps.

But fear not, the horses have long since trotted off, and what’s left is stunning, this three-bedroom barn conversion that’s ready to take the reins as your dream home.

Brimming with rustic charm, this property boasts vaulted ceilings and exposed beams.

As you enter, the spacious kitchen/breakfast room welcomes you, offering bespoke cabinetry, plenty of room for all your appliances, and a handy breakfast bar.

Beyond the kitchen, you’ll find a generously sized utility room-perfect for stashing away your laundry (or maybe even a few extra riding boots).

The living room is next, and it’s the true showstopper, with a grand fireplace and log burner. The large, rounded window lets you gaze out onto the lush gardens.

There is also a convenient W/C just off the living room.

Heading further into the home, you’ll discover three double bedrooms, including a master suite with a large built-in wardrobe and direct access to the lovely conservatory.

The family bathroom offers a hot tub bath, shower, wash-hand basin and sink.

Outside, the garden seems to unfold as far as the eye can see, stretching out on a generous plot with a lovely stroll down to the river. The driveway offers off-road parking.

Located in the charming village of Acton Trussell, you’re just a short drive from Stafford, which offers a range of excellent schools, shops, restaurants and supermarkets.

Commuters will also appreciate easy access to the M6, so you can gallop off to work with ease.

In short, this barn conversion is the ideal mix of rustic elegance and modern comfort, ready for you to hang up your hat and call it a home. EPC Rating: F
