Styling

The deigners of Mayfield had a vision of a particularly charming, uniquely styled property. Their idea was to create a modern, ergonomic and ecological living space, styled as a traditional rural building. We took their ideas as the basis for The Stable. If you come to site, you might notice the influence of the early designs. It has English larch cladding (very strong), meticulously applied to a timber frame structure. It has hand-made bricks with some integrated and contrasting rendering. It has locally source clay pantiles on the roof, and wooden (largely oak) features. The building itself is made with highly sustainable building materials. If you visit the site, you will not only see the precision in both the design and the build, and may notice some of the sustainability goals. You will see the high quality wooden features, both inside and out, which characterise this beautiful living space. The original designs were developed into what we see today, our Technical Architect and team. Great team!

Layout

The layout of The Stable has been designed with modern living in mind. On the ground floor, you will see that the kitchen/diner space is at the centre of the living space. There are three adjoining rooms. One is a utility room, with all the space needed for whitegoods (washer, dryer etc), sink etc. The second is a walk-in larder, so as to allow all stores (shopping etc) to be hidden away but also accessible. The third is a ‘Jack and Jill’ washroom and wc. There are three further living spaces of note. Firstly, there is a huge living room with quadruple glass doors opening out into the garden. This is designed to embrace the outdoor living, reaching out into the garden area. The doors are precision-fit and are double glazed with security locking. This living space has light coming from the roof window, fitted with electrically operated blinds. Secondly, there is an office/downstairs bedroom, with a ‘jack and jill’ washroom ad wc. The idea here is that the property is designed to cater for different scenarios. For instance, if used as an office, this room provides a perfect backdrop and space for a well appointed multi-user office area. It also can be used to accommodate disabled or elderly living. Or just simply a second family room, playroom, gym or cinema room. There are double glass doors which look through the ‘link area’ to the gardens. The ‘Jack and Jill’ facility provides dual functionality, ensuite facilities and also a convenient downstairs downstairs facility. Thirdly, the ‘link area’ has been designed as an additional living space. It has been designed to be a sitting area, just off the kitchen. It has been designed to fit a sofa or other dining facilities. It was designed to have a dual function of a relaxed ‘coffee and scones’ area, and also to link the kitchen to both the large living room and to the office/downstairs bedroom. You may notice again the large precision fitted double glazed doors which look out onto the garden area. One of the features of The Stable is the double storey mezzanine which has the feature oak staircase to the first floor. You might also note that the ground floor also includes an integral double garage, equipped with power and workbenches. It has wooden walls, which means that hanging stuff up is a doddle (e.g. bikes etc). You will also see that in the garage there is a ‘service room’, which allows the heating system to be located in a single space, away from the living space. The kitchen has modern ‘finger print proof’ units, with bi-fold doors to the garden. The kitchen has been imported from Germany. It is coloured black and dark oak to contrast the porcelain ‘rustic look’ floor tiling. Included and integrated are larder fridge, double height freezer, double electric oven with electric hob, microwave and wine cooler. There is also a breakfast bar for relaxed everyday dining! There is underfloor heating in the main living spaces, complimented by radiators in other areas. The source of energy is from modern heat pump technology (Daikin). This technology allows for greener energy. There is no fossil fuel (gas, oil) in the property. Immediately at the top of the stairs, you will notice two way landings, which has the effect of separating the different bedrooms and spaces. There are 4 main bedrooms on the first floor. Three of these have ensuite facilities. There is also a generous shared family bathroom. All four bedrooms have been carefully designed to overlook the back (garden and fields beyond). This allows a stunning backdrop. The master bedroom has double Juliet doors and balcony. Great for those lazy Sunday mornings! The master bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, and a large ensuite and dressing area. Bedrooms 3 and 4 both have ensuite facilties, and bedroom 2 is designed to potentially be used as a study or office. The layout is a bespoke design, purposefully slightly quirky to maintain the traditional feel. You will notice the high quality natural finishes. All bathrooms have underfloor heating, and there are high spec radiators in other areas. The Stable benefits form making use of modern heat pump technology (Daikin). This technology allows for greener energy. There is no fossil fuel (gas, oil) in the property.

It has an ensuite is elegantly appointed with a 3-piece suite, including a low-level WC with an 'Asian-Style' bidet/douche attachment, a vanity hand wash basin, and a shower cubicle. Fully tiled splashbacks, an electric heated towel rail, and a double glazed window to the front aspect complete this luxurious space. On the first floor there are 3 further bedrooms, two with en-suites.

Location

The Stable is located on the outskirts of Market Rasen. You may have heard about Market Rasen from the famous racecourse! Market Rasen is in fact a small market town right in the middle of the county, with easy access to Lincoln itself and a plethora of other market towns, seaside and coastline. Lincolnshire has great history, with lots of old churches and antiquities that seem to pop out of glorious countryside. The region contains two prominent upland areas, which cross the county from north to south. Lincoln Edge is the more westerly, and is the narrower of the two. It is a limestone escarpment which rises abruptly on its western side. It is this that city of Lincoln is built. Separated from the Lincoln Edge by a clay lowland are the Lincolnshire Wolds. This is an area of rolling chalk hills. Between the Wolds and the coast lies an area known as the Lincoln Marsh. At its southern end it merges into the low-lying area of the Fens, which surrounds The Wash and has been the scene of drainage and reclamation efforts since Roman times. Lincolnshire’s most well-known nature reserves include Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve, Whisby Nature Park Local Nature Reserve, Donna Nook National Nature Reserve, RSPB Frampton Marsh and the Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve. Although the Lincolnshire countryside is intensively farmed, there are many biodiverse wetland areas, as well as rare limewood forests.

Gardens and views

You will see that there is a lovely sized garden to the rear, overlooking a farmers field and St Martins church beyond. To the front, you will find a lovely block paved driveway, with space for several cars, and a double garage. There is a lovely long side area, which we earmarked as a potential 'allotment'!

The Region

Perhaps the most noticeable characteristic of Lincolnshire, is the market towns. Beautiful locations, undiscovered charm, friendly people, fabulous food… all can be found in the picturesque historic market towns and village hamlets of Lincolnshire. The name ‘Lincolnshire’ is of course from the city of Lincoln, whose name literally means ‘lake/pool colony’. It combines the brythonic word ‘lynn’ with the Latin word ‘colonia’. This translates to ‘town by the pool’. The water which flowed into the fields enabled Lincolnshire to develop its farming, the produce of which was sold in the markets of the county. The high quality produce resulted in a reputation drawing traders from other parts of the country. The history of the county continues to this day, making it one of best counties for markets, and fresh produce. Lincolnshire offers a fabulous retreat to economical and ergonomic living. But it is also ‘on the map’! • 20 minute drive to Lincoln • 50 minute drive to Hull • 120 minutes to Robin Hoods Bay • 150 minutes to Newcastle • 90 minutes to Malton

Frontage

Here is a picture of the front of Mayfield during construction. The idea has been to create a unique design as if it is a traditional stable, but one that that incorporates contemporary style 'eco' living. The skills of the craftsmen are in the detail. It is this detail that you can more fully appreciate in a site visit! You can use 'contact us' on this site to arrange a site visit!
