Description
Stable Cottage enjoys a rural setting between Overton-on-Dee and St Martins, and benefits from some excellent equestrian facilities. The cottage sits close to the stable yard, away from the main residence, with views over the surrounding countryside.

Having been fully refurbished throughout earlier this year the accommodation is arranged principally on the first floor. A ground-floor entrance hall provides ample space for boots and coats, with room for se-cure tack storage if required.

Stairs lead to a landing serving the living accommodation. The spacious living room features a Clearview wood-burning stove and countryside views. The principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, while the second bedroom could alternatively serve as an office. A shower room is centrally positioned.

Overlooking the stable yard, the newly fitted kitchen includes wall and base units, an integrated fridge freezer, oven, hob and extractor. A freestanding dishwasher is provided, with space for a washing machine.

Equestrian Facilities
The letting includes six traditional timber stables and shared use of the manège, four-horse walker and wash box with hot shower. The landlord no longer keeps horses, although an employee keeps two horses on site and shares the equestrian facilities.

Stables and Storage
The six stables are arranged in two blocks of three, one on the main yard and the other slightly separated behind the main courtyard. An additional storage area can be divided for feed and tack. Stable fittings include automatic drinkers, feed troughs, hay racks and rubber floor matting.

Manège and Horse Walker
The outdoor manège has a silica sand and fibre surface, dressage mirrors at one end, and a distinctive setting enclosed by a low perimeter wall and railings with a wonderful view beyond. There is a bank to the two other sides.

The four-horse walker is situated on the far side of the yard and has rubber sides and flooring.

Muck Heap and Parking
An accessible muck clamp serves the yard. A shared contribution towards muck removal will be re-quired when necessary.

Parking is available for one horsebox, with two car parking spaces beside the cottage.

There is a single car garage adjacent to the cottage having an up and over door with power connected.

Grazing
Shared grazing is available within the property’s approximately 13.71 acres, alongside the landlord’s sheep and the employee’s two horses. A mutually agreed rotational grazing arrangement will be es-tablished at the outset.

Turnout is weather dependent and will be very limited during the wettest periods, usually February and March.
