About this property

Perched just outside of the quiet village of Trent in Hummer is this gorgeous detached cottage, surrounded by peaceful farmland and expansive gardens. Situated on a working farm, The Stable House offers a rural escape for a group of family or friends looking to explore the countryside. Kick off your muddy boots in the entrance hall before heading inside this characterful abode for a relaxing evening, where a woodburning stove takes centre stage in the snug sitting room as you enjoy a family film night. The sitting room also features a pool table, perfect for a bit of friendly competition once the sun goes down.

Continuing to impress is the open-plan living space, a sociable space to gather with your loved ones as you prepare meals for the group in the amply-equipped kitchen, gather around the dining table for a special dinner party, or hop on the sofa and watch some TV as you keep the chef company. Alternatively, take your dining experience outdoors and dine alfresco in your own private courtyard as your furry friends run free around the lawn. The spacious, enclosed garden offers peace of mind for parents and pet owners alike, with plenty of room to stretch little legs or paws. There’s also a handy outdoor tap, ideal for rinsing off muddy boots and paws after countryside rambles.

Also on the ground floor is a handy utility room and a fabulous shower room for your convenience. Guests will appreciate the added sense of security thanks to the gated entrance, while the hot tub is well screened for privacy, creating a tranquil spot to soak under the stars. Drift off to memories of your fun-filled day in one of four inviting bedrooms upstairs, comprising a super-king, two king-sizes and a twin, boasting ample storage, and views to the surrounding countryside, offering a flexible sleeping arrangement for all types of groups. After a long day of exploration, unwind in the gorgeous freestanding bath, the perfect way to end another memorable day.
