Stable Cottage combines 17th-century character with extensive modern upgrades, sitting on a generous quarter-acre plot in picture-postcard Upper Farringdon. The house has been delisted, so you keep exposed beams, period charm and historic proportions without the usual listing restrictions. Recent works include full rewiring, new windows, boiler replacement and a Hive system — practical updates that make day-to-day living straightforward.
The heart of the home is a sociable kitchen-diner with a range cooker and space for family dining and entertaining. Two reception rooms, a utility, separate laundry room, cellar and ground-floor WC give flexibility for family routines and home working. Upstairs are five bedrooms, highlighted by a principal suite with two dressing rooms and an ensuite; a recently upgraded shower room benefits from underfloor heating.
There’s clear scope to add further value: the loft is already plumbed, powered and fitted with two Velux windows, making conversion relatively straightforward (building-control approval required). Outside, a mature, private rear garden and off-street parking including garage provide practical outdoor space and storage. Alton’s amenities and direct trains to Waterloo are close by, with excellent local schooling.
Notable practical points: broadband speeds are reported as slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. While the property is recently renovated and largely move-in ready, any loft conversion or structural changes will need the usual consents. Overall, this is a large, characterful family home that marries period charm with ready-made modern convenience.
