Tellisford, Bath, Somerset, BA2

The Old Stables is a unique, beautifully presented family home packed with characterful architectural details. Cleverly converted from a former period stable block, outbuildings and yard - the generous living spaces are centered around a central Mediterranean-style courtyard. The accommodation is arranged over two floors with a completely separate guest bedroom suite accessed via the courtyard.
Architectural details feature in every room - from the open fire, wooden beams and flagstone paving to the A-frame ceilings and exposed stone walls - The Old Stables is a very special family home. In Winter, its solid walls, wood burner and Aga make it cosy and warm, while in Spring and Summer, doors open onto the courtyard from all the ground floor rooms, connecting the outside in. The bedrooms are on both floors, vary in size and offer flexible accommodation.
Recent renovations include new glazed doors connecting the various spaces, which enhances the natural light throughout; porcelain flooring in the kitchen/breakfast room and family room; additional kitchen cabinetry and enlarged island unit and two new boilers.
The Old Stables is approached off a no-through country lane and into a cobblestone drive with parking for several cars which leads to a double carport. The courtyard, garden and grounds of The Old Stables amount to just under half an acre and include an orchard and small, lawned paddock accessed from the carriageway in the courtyard. The walled courtyard is the focal point from the house. At its centre is an ornate tree and several gravel areas and brick paving, with York stone paving covering the remaining spaces. There are raised planters with adjoining seating, well stocked flower beds along the walls and beautiful wisteria. The orchard and paddock are attractive green spaces with additional outbuildings (workshop, garden store and home gym). Beyond the paddock is the Norman Church of All Saints and attractive countryside.
