Located in a quiet corner of the Kent countryside, close to Canterbury, this light and spacious house is an exceptional conversion of Grade II listed former stable buildings by the designer Pauline Karminski.

The property has three bedrooms, a large open-plan living room and kitchen, and attractive gardens. There is also a wonderful oak and glass garden room and a large annexe.

Karminski is known for her intelligent use of materials in her interiors, and the Stables is a great example of her work. Details such as the use of marine ply in the bathrooms and bedrooms, oak flooring, an exposed brick fireplace and stainless-steel and Capri kitchen units make the Stables an exciting and enjoyable house to be in. The house has great views across the Stour Valley.

The Stables (postcode CT3 4DA) is situated at the end of a farm driveway, on the edge of a small complex of period buildings. The village centre of Upstreet is a short walk away, offering a local store / post office and pub. The nearby village of Sturry has a railway station with connections to Canterbury and on to London. Herne Bay station is 12 miles away and runs services to London Victoria in 1 ½ hours. Canterbury is six miles away and offers a good choice of schools, shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities. The M2 / A2 road to London is easily accessible from the nearly Thanet Way (A299) and the seaside towns of Whitstable, Deal and others are within comfortable driving distance.
