DESCRIPTION
Allanbank Courtyard is a stunning B Listed building dating back to 1760. The building used to be the stable block for the Blackadder Estate. The property is built around a delightful central courtyard with archways on both principal elevations and it retains much of its charming history both internally and externally.

The west elevation of the courtyard is where the wonderful family accommodation can be found and enjoys outlooks towards the garden and paddocks.

The east elevation contains the Coach House which forms part of the holiday letting business and is also home to the Vendor’s art business. These open and flexible spaces present an incredible opportunity for further development.

Within the grounds to the east of the Courtyard itself, can also be found Groom’s Cottage and Gardener’s Cottage which, along with the Coach House, provide for the successful holiday letting business.

The grounds extend to approximately 4 acres and are made up of garden, woodlands and fenced paddocks.

There are 2 stables, loose box and garaging for 4 cars.
