Downing Gardens, Stone, ST15

In the heart of the charming town of Stone lies Downing Gardens, a residence that feels plucked straight from an English period drama, a setting Lady Mary herself would find rather agreeable… just without the servants’ quarters. This two-bedroom detached bungalow offers single-storey living for added convenience and accessibility, with interiors that are both warm and inviting.

Step gracefully through the front door into a generously sized lounge with an inset gas living flame fire. The perfect spot for those lazy Sunday mornings with a nice cup of tea. Glazed sliding doors lead through to a welcoming conservatory, embracing indoor-outdoor living and fitted with heating, ensuring it remains a serene retreat in every season.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen, full of convenience for comfortable living. Fitted with white cabinetry, that offers ample storage, space for essential appliances, and a stainless-steel single drainer sink, it’s a space equally suited to preparing a simple breakfast or a supper worthy of the Crawley’s themselves.

As you retire to the sleeping quarters, you will see two generously sized double bedrooms, filled with plenty of natural light. The master bedroom offers a spacious retreat where soft light filters through, setting the perfect tone for peaceful mornings and restful nights. The second bedroom is equally as comfortable, versatile enough to serve as a guest room, hobby room, or serene study for those moments of quiet. The wet room is thoughtfully designed, complete with a wall-mounted wash hand basin, WC, and electric overhead shower.

Beyond the interiors, the charm of Downing Gardens continues. To the front, a tandem tarmacked driveway, complete with a carport, leads to a handy single garage, ready for one’s carriage or, more likely, the modern motor vehicle. A front garden greets you upon arrival, with a plush lawn surrounded by mature shrubbery, setting the tone for the property.

At the rear a delightful garden room forms the perfect link between the conservatory, garage, and garden. This versatile space lends itself beautifully to afternoon reading, quiet reflection, or a touch of potting and planting, all while overlooking the serene greenery beyond. The rear garden itself is a colourful haven, set in a South-East orientation, with a charming patio area ideal for relaxing or entertaining, and the remainder a lush lawn worthy of Downton Abbey’s finest garden party.

Perfectly situated within the desirable town of Stone, a short walk away from charming boutiques, an array of delightful eateries, healthcare clinics, dentists and food shops. For those with places to be beyond the estate, excellent travel links, including the A34 and A51, walkable bus routes, and Stone train station, provide effortless passage to destinations near and far.

A residence of quiet refinement and enviable convenience, Downing Gardens is, quite simply, a home even the Crawleys would approve of.
