Leese Hill Stables, Watery Lane, Kingstone, ST14 8FJ

Leese Hill Stables is not just a home; it's a unique lifestyle opportunity. This beautifully presented detached barn conversion, built in 2010 and once a thriving stable block for approximately 50 racehorses, now offers an exceptional blend of historical character and contemporary living, perfectly complemented by outstanding, ready-to-use facilities, all set within just over 6 acres of picturesque Staffordshire countryside. Beyond its five spacious bedrooms, this property also offers a detached one bedroom annexe and home office.

Step inside the main barn and be captivated by a grand entrance hall, 8.75m x 4.13m (28'8" x 13'6"), where the warmth of underfloor heating extends throughout the ground floor, leading to a captivating feature staircase. The heart of this home truly shines in the expansive open-plan kitchen dining room, 5.32m x 7.88m (17'5" x 25'10"), a vibrant hub designed for both lively family gatherings and sophisticated entertaining. The generously sized lounge, 5.32m x 6.84m (17'5" x 22'5"), offers a comfortable and beautifully proportioned space for relaxation and I love the full width bi-folding doors leading out into the gardens.

The ground floor is thoughtfully designed for modern family life, featuring a practical pantry and a highly functional laundry/boot room, keeping daily essentials neatly tucked away. A versatile family room/gym, 5.32m x 4.96m (17'5" x 16'3"), offers excellent flexibility for invigorating workouts or creative pursuits, while a dedicated play room/office, 2.85m x 3.41m (9'4" x 11'2"), provides a quiet haven. A standout feature on this level is the substantial Bedroom Two, 7.56m x 4.13m (24'9" x 13'6"), complete with its own private ensuite, 2.9m x 2.81m (9'6" x 9'2"), making it perfect for multi-generational living, a luxurious guest suite, or a private haven.

Ascending to the first floor, a spacious landing guides you to the principal sleeping quarters. Bedroom One, an impressive 4.98m x 7.17m (16'4" x 23'6"), boasts a private ensuite, 2.35m x 3.62m (7'8" x 11'10"), providing a serene and luxurious sanctuary. Three additional beautifully proportioned bedrooms, Bedroom Three, 3.76m x 4.13m (12'4" x 13'6"), Bedroom Four, 2.72m x 3.18m (8'11" x 10'5"), and Bedroom Five, 2.53m x 3.18m (8'3" x 10'5"), are all serviced by a modern shower room, 1.98m x 3.18m (6'5" x 10'5"), meticulously designed for convenience and comfort.

Beyond the main residence, this property truly distinguishes itself with its superb outdoor offerings. The equestrian facilities include four traditional brick stables and a highly sought-after space, previously a manège and now used as a play area for their children but easily converted back if desired.

The generous driveway offers ample parking, alongside a substantial carport, 8.05m x 5.39m (26'4" x 17'8"), and two versatile storage areas, 3.32m x 5.39m (10'10" x 17'8") each.

A significant unique selling point is the substantial and private detached annex, offering exceptional flexible accommodation. This includes a comfortable lounge dining room, 4.24m x 4.84m (13'10" x 15'10"), a good-sized bedroom, 4.24m x 3.04m (13'10" x 9'11"), a well-appointed kitchen, 2.97m x 2.38m (9'8" x 7'9"), and a shower room – perfect for independent living, guest accommodation, or even generating rental income. An additional, generously sized office space within the annex, 4.24m x 6.49m (13'10" x 21'3"), presents an ideal setup for a home-based business or a dedicated creative studio.

The gardens are a true delight, featuring formal lawns, a charming terrace directly accessible from the main lounge, an established kitchen garden and an orchard. These outdoor spaces provide perfect settings for relaxation, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance of the Staffordshire countryside. There is also a garden barbecue lodge which is ideal for entertaining all year around.

Then to the rear of the barn, is five acres of well maintained and recently re-fenced and organised pasture paddocks.

This remarkable property offers the rare combination of luxurious living, superb equestrian amenities, and versatile additional accommodation, all within a tranquil rural setting. The village of Kingstone boasts a wonderful community feel and access to nearby Lichfield or Uttoxeter is just a 10-20 minute drive away with access to a wealth of amenities including direct train links from Rugeley Trent Valley into London Euston. Desirable Abbots Bromley is also just a 10 minute drive away and access to schools include Talbot First School, and those in the surrounding villages plus nearby Lichfield Cathedral School or Denstone college.

A superb home for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors, with the comfort of a stunning home to relax of an evening and a detached annexe to be used as needed - I cannot wait, to show you around.
