Stoneleigh - Sandford St Martin

Stoneleigh is full of charm and warmth from the moment you arrive. Built in 1832 its historic interiors have been carefully curated with modern touches and stylish collectables. Exposed beams, wooden flooring and Cotswold stone act as reminders of the life this cottage once lived.

Beginning downstairs, Stoneleigh has a wonderful communal flow, with each room leading you into the next. A comfortable seating area surrounds the woodburning stove which rests within an inglenook fireplace of exposed stone. Sink into the sofa and watch the world go by, opening a bottle of wine to really relax. It's hard to miss the quirky sheep stool which watches over the proceedings. Beside French doors which invite you into the garden, a dining table is waiting to be set for meals of local fare. Tucked at the back of the cottage is the fabulous kitchen where a large AGA warms the space and gives you more than enough room to cook up a feast. Even the ground floor cloakroom has a splash of personality with eye-catching wallpaper. Upstairs both bedrooms have their own personality and a sense of easy elegance. Bespoke décor and top-quality beddings make these rooms a real retreat, and you'll have your own en-suite no matter which bedroom you choose.

Stepping outside Stoneleigh the garden is just as lovely. A dining terrace gives you space or an al fresco meal and there is a coffee set with sofa and chairs. It is your own little haven of peace and tranquillity.

Ground Floor

Sitting/Dining Area
Arriving at Stoneleigh you step into the open plan sitting/dining area. Wooden beams above match the flooring and a sumptuous sofa adds a pop of colour. Inside an inglenook fireplace a woodburning stove adds warmth and atmosphere and there are two stools and cushioned window seats. A sheep stool adds some fun to your stay. The dining area is alongside the sitting area, just next to French doors which open to the garden. Letting the outdoors in it's a lovely place for meals together. The table can be laid to seat four to six guests.

Kitchen
With an AGA, eye-catching Belfast sink and exposed stone wall the kitchen is full of intriguing details. You will find everything you need including a coffee machine, microwave and fridge/freezer. It is a pleasure to prepare meals here and the dining area is conveniently close to make dishing up and setting the table a breeze.

Utility
Just around the corner from the kitchen is a utility area. There is a washer/dryer, space to leave shoes and boots and charming horse shaped hooks for hanging coats. A side door takes you out to the garden and gated access to the street.

Cloakroom
At the end of the utility area, the cloakroom is a wonderful surprise. Decorated with a wildlife scene you can spot a giraffe, elephant and more while you freshen up. There is a WC and basin here.
