'Amazing' Tidmarsh Airbnb manor used to be a stables - look inside

The Stable Clock House in Tidmarsh is now a five bedroom period home on the market for £2.1m.

It features functional turret clock that dates back to 1841 and panning permission for an outbuilding which could be converted into Airbnb accommodation.

Liz McLean, head of residential sales at Savills in Newbury, whose team are handling the sale, said: “This unusual conversion has created a quite unique house, with lovely big gardens and a sheltered courtyard.

“It is amazing to see the original clock mechanisms working in one of the first floor rooms, which only adds to the appeal of the house.”

The property is laid out around a charming sheltered courtyard, and viewers will be inevitably drawn to the sitting room and its high ceilings, original wooden beams, large open fireplace and mezzanine gallery.

To one side is a bright bedroom, which has the potential to be used as another reception room.

An original spiral staircase leads to the bedroom in which the mechanical workings of the original 19th century clock is displayed. The same room also offers panoramic views of the gardens and the courtyard.

From the sitting room the accommodation flows naturally into the dining room and on into the kitchen with AGA and useful utility rooms beyond.

The principal suite can be accessed either from the mezzanine gallery or the secondary staircase which also leads to two further bedrooms and bathroom.
