Life in Ellingham’s most elegant conversion
Step off a leafy, tranquil lane and through the electric gates, and it’s immediately clear that The Old Stables is no ordinary home. Nestled in the heart of the charming village of Ellingham, this converted Victorian stable isn’t just a house — it’s a lifestyle. A seamless blend of history, style, and modern luxury, it offers 4,400 square feet of space where every detail has been considered.
Originally built in 1898 as part of the grand Ellingham Hall estate, the property retains the charm of its heritage. Warm Doddington sandstone walls, soaring cathedral-style ceilings, and restored timber trusses tell the story of its past, while a recent, thoughtful refurbishment transforms it into a sleek, light-filled contemporary home. The result is a property that feels timeless, yet perfectly of today.
Space That Works, Entertains, and Inspires
Inside, space is generous but never overwhelming. The grand reception hall flows into a drawing room over 25 feet long, centred around a striking stone fireplace and wood-burning stove. Sunlight pours in from large windows and a glazed link to the garden, creating a perfect backdrop for relaxed living or entertaining.
The kitchen is every chef’s dream, with bespoke cabinetry, premium appliances, a central island, and a light-filled morning room. Practicality meets style with a boot room and utility suite designed for modern family life, especially in a coastal location like this. A separate media room provides a cosy retreat for film nights, while a front-facing reception room offers flexibility — office, library, or formal dining, the choice is yours.
Bedrooms That Feel Like Retreats
Upstairs, the principal suite is a study in drama and calm. Vaulted ceilings, restored trusses, and bespoke wardrobes set the scene for a luxurious private sanctuary. The spa-inspired en-suite completes the experience. Four further double bedrooms continue the theme of light and space, with two benefiting from their own contemporary en-suite facilities and two sharing a lavish family bathroom.
Outdoor Living and Endless Possibilities
Outside, the detached double garage mirrors the home’s architectural drama — high vaulted ceilings and stone walls make it perfect as a workshop, studio, or gym. Expansive patios beneath a period-style canopy provide the ideal space for al fresco dining, while manicured gardens wrap around the home, offering privacy and calm.
