Set on a substantial plot in the heart of Silverstone, The Old Stables is a charming five-bedroom detached home with genuine period character and flexible living space. The property includes a mature, private garden, a fully fenced paddock of about 1.21 acres, and a large four-bay garage with adjoining workshop — rare practical assets for village living or events-based income.
Internally the house mixes original features — exposed beams, stone and brick fireplaces and a bay-windowed sitting room — with practical family spaces including a kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga and an adjacent utility. The principal bedroom has fitted storage and there are two en suites plus a family bathroom; the current owner has successfully run the property as a B&B during Silverstone race events, demonstrating clear short-term let potential.
Buyers should note some important practical considerations: the property uses electric night storage heating throughout and mains gas currently only supplies the Aga, so upgrading central heating is a likely future expense. The walls are solid brick and assumed uninsulated, so thermal improvements will be needed to improve efficiency. Council Tax is Band G and is relatively expensive. Despite these points, the plot size, workshop/garage provision, excellent broadband and strong mobile signal add tangible long-term value.
This home will suit families seeking countryside space close to Silverstone and surrounding market towns, buyers wanting ancillary income from events or B&B letting, or those looking for a sympathetic period property with scope to modernise heating and insulation. Freehold tenure and no flood risk complete the practical picture for anyone wanting a substantial village house with land and versatile outbuildings.
