Completed two years ago, this immaculate freehold house forms part of the small and prestigious Atherton Hill development, built by Cala Homes.

An Ideal Position

One of a small number of houses gathered around a tranquil central green, 21 Stable Close arguably enjoys the best position of all. The house, which is built to Cala's 'Lulworth' design and layout, offers three wonderful double bedrooms and a useful fourth bedroom or study, as well as three contemporary bath/shower rooms, two of which are en suite. The hub of the house is a spacious, open plan family kitchen and dining space which leads directly out to the terrace and the garden, whilst at the front there is a separate living room. 

The glorious and secluded south and west-facing garden has a lovely woodland view on one side and generous open outlook on another. To the side of the house there is a useful bike and general store and an invaluable utility room. There is driveway parking for two cars at the front of the house.

A Warm Welcome

Walk in via the covered porch, through the front door into a welcoming hallway. Immediately to your left is a convenient downstairs cloakroom and two sizeable under-stair storage cupboards.

Turn right into the well-proportioned living room featuring a wonderful bay window with fitted wooden shutters at the front and a second, pretty window looking over the green open space to the side. With plenty of room for sofas and armchairs, this is a perfect spot to entertain family and friends or to settle down for a cosy evening with your favourite film.

A Room for All Occasions

As you walk through to the light-filled kitchen/dining room, its south and west-facing windows reveal gorgeous green views out onto the garden and surrounding woodland. A haven of peace, with sleek Amtico flooring underfoot and modern white units topped with pale stone work surfaces. This enviable kitchen includes a large island with breakfast bar seating, ideal both for the early morning rush and your quiet afternoon cup of tea. There are practical twin stainless steel sinks, a double fan oven and an integrated dishwasher, fridge freezer and that ultimate luxury, a wine fridge.  

Adjacent to the kitchen island, is a cosy corner for a sofa or chairs where you can chat to friends or sip coffee over the weekend newspapers.

The magnificent  high-ceilinged dining space is flooded with light from skylight windows and the glass doors. With room for a large dining table and lots of chairs, this is an ideal place for hosting long family lunches or memorable celebratory dinners.  

Relax Outdoors 

Spill out through the double doors onto the decked terrace, covered by a fabulous remote-controlled pergola, which can be fully retracted on clear days or drawn across to shield the terrace from the sun or light rain. A wonderful area looking out over the garden and woodland beyond, the terrace is perfect for a party by candlelight or for quiet relaxation on a summers' afternoon whilst the children play in the garden.

The fully-fenced south and west-facing garden wraps around the back and one side of the house, providing a good-sized outdoor space for children and pets, with room for a trampoline, a swing set, or even a wendy house if desired. Festoon lights have been strung across the fence to give the whole garden an extra magical night-time effect!

 A door at the back of the terrace leads to the separate utility room, created by the current owners. This incredibly useful space houses a washing machine and tumble drier as well as invaluable storage space for muddy boots, coats and other outdoor items. The utility room also opens into a store room, again, converted in to a useful area to store family bikes and other equipment. 

Retreat Upstairs

From the hallway, head up the carpeted staircase to the four spacious bedrooms. The airy, dual-aspect principal bedroom has plenty of space for a kingsized bed, built-in wardrobes and a beautiful en suite shower room. The second generous double situated at the top of the stairs is ideal for older children or guests, as it offers plentiful wardrobe space and an en suite shower room complete with loo, basin unit and heated towel rail. The third double bedroom and a pretty single bedroom have south facing views over the back of the house and to the woodland beyond. At the end of the landing you will find the family bathroom with an over-bath shower.
