Description
The Stables: An Historic Treasure Reborn
Hidden away close to the village green in the popular location of Castle Bromwich, 'The Stables' stands as a testament to the power of imagination and the beauty of transformation. Once a humble stable block built in the 1800s, this cottage had fallen into a state of deep disrepair, its history nearly lost to time. But today, thanks to the vision and dedication of a young, creative couple, The Stables has been reborn—a striking blend of old-world charm and contemporary elegance that invites you to step into a story woven through centuries.
As you step along the short pathway from Chester Road, anticipation builds. The cottage is almost hidden from view, its front door framed by a delightful tiled canopy—a nod to the past, lovingly preserved and ready to welcome the future. With every step closer, you sense that this is no ordinary home; it’s a place where history has been given new life, where every detail tells a story.
Cross the threshold, and you are greeted by a breathtaking transformation. The open-plan lounge diner immediately embraces you with a warmth that feels both timeless and modern. The high vaulted ceiling soars above, a grand reminder of the building’s original purpose, while the exposed timber beams stand proud, whispering tales of the past. Beneath your feet, luxury 'Karndean' style flooring, laid in a meticulous herringbone pattern with an elegant border, adds a touch of sophistication, inviting you to explore further. At the heart of this living space, the chimney breast has been artfully restored to house a state-of-the-art remote-controlled electric fireplace. Its soft glow not only offers warmth but also a sense of serenity, creating an ambiance that feels almost magical. This is a place where old meets new in perfect harmony, where the crackle of a modern flame reflects the light of days gone by.
As natural light streams in through Velux-style roof windows, it dances across the room, illuminating every corner with a gentle touch. The cottage breathes with life, its new windows, set into the thick, storied walls, framing views of the world outside—yet inside, you feel cocooned in a world all your own. The lounge flows effortlessly into a cleverly hidden kitchen, a space that marries tradition with innovation. Here, a Belfast sink gleams under the light, surrounded by solid oak worktops that echo the timber beams above. Integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, offer modern convenience without compromising on style. Even the practicalities have been given thoughtful consideration, with a neatly concealed cupboard housing the combination boiler, which gets those heritage radiators all toasty, and providing ample space for a washing machine with a tumble dryer above.
And then, there’s the bathroom—a luxurious escape from the world, where a pedestal bath stands ready to offer solace after a long day. The rainfall shower overhead is an invitation to unwind, whether in a quick morning refresh or a leisurely Sunday soak, the water cascading down like a gentle embrace.
Ascend the soft grey carpeted stairs, and you find yourself on a newly created mezzanine floor—a sanctuary of peace and comfort. The glass-panelled oak balustrade allows you to look out over the lounge, yet the space feels entirely your own. As you lie in bed, the Velux windows above reveal the night sky, a canopy of stars that feels close enough to touch, inviting you to dream.
The Stables is more than just a home; it’s a resurrection of history, a place where the past has been lovingly restored and the future carefully crafted. With no outside space to maintain, it’s the perfect lock-and-leave sanctuary—a dream for first-time buyers, busy professionals, or those seeking a high-spec rental investment. In fact, if you've been looking for that dream apartment to securely leave while you’re sunning yourself in warmer climes for months of the year, this may just be an even better, more frugal (no service charges!) and absolutely more characterful, charming, and eventful place to return to and enjoy Blighty as your UK base! Have we got you thinking yet…
If you've always dreamt of your very own miniature grand design, then here it is—a home that has been reborn with thought, energy, and love, where the spirit of the 1800s lives on, now shining brighter than ever. Welcome to The Stables, where history and imagination come together to create something truly extraordinary.
