Owners Interview

Why did you buy Stable Heights?
Stable Heights was a prominent bungalow surrounded by a huge wrap around garden and patio with an established apple orchard. There was so much potential with the home being detached and private, within a central position in the village of Kingskerswell. Within walking distance to all amenities (health centre, pharmacy, co-op, school, park) and with superb countryside and church views - we knew it was something special and perfect for us to build into our dream family home.

Owners Interview

What do you love most about the house?
The stunning bespoke kitchen with panda marble island and Dekton worktops with inlaid gold brass has to be our favourite part of the house. If you love to cook and entertain this is a beautiful place to be, with the 7ft windows allowing light and framing the lounge as you work and socialise in the open living space. Every part of the house feels spacious - a real luxury to be enjoyed.
Another great feature is the huge master bedroom with double shower ensuite. With an additional adjacent room nearby on the landing for someone to turn into another luxury bathroom or a dressing room - I think this could become a really special place to relax.

Owners Interview

Tell us about your journey of renovation...
Renovation was a labour of love, and our home was built as our dream family property not for development for sale - everything was designed by us working alongside talented local tradespeople, we even used a local architect who has lived within the village all his life to draw up plans! The vision for a double height 7ft ceiling was created to enable impact and give the wow factor along with space and light of our huge windows overlooking the stunning view.

Owners Interview

What do you hope for the homes future?
We'd really love to see the house loved by those that purchase, used for entertaining, socialising and enjoying the huge garden that catches the sun long into the evening. It has been loved by us and we know that whoever buys it will very happy and proud to live there.
