- The Coach House
-
- Set within the beautiful grounds
of Stonnwall Manor Estate, completely secluded behind tall hedges
and stonewalls, some dating back to the 17th century.
-
- Its own private entrance via automatic
gates, a gravel driveway sweeps round to the stable yard.
-
- Stone walls draped with tapestries,
whilst the other side is timber-clad, its barn doors replaced
with a long line of French doors. This allows this huge room
to be extended onto a sun terrace revealing an ancient well.
-
- Polished flagstone floors, chandeliers
hanging from old roof trusses and oil paintings add a lovely
warm resonance.
-
- Chesterfield sofas are positioned
around an inglenook fireplace cleverly concealing a flatscreen
TV. To the amazement of guests a crackling log fire appears at
the flick of a switch.

style table.

kitchen with 6-burner range cooker and wall-to-wall modern granite
