2025 discounted rates - A building is going to be converted at the farm, nearby to The Stables during 2025, the owners are offering 15% discount off all prices during 2025 to compensate for any inconvenience this may cause. Please note, the trades people will only be working during Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm. The bulk of noisy exterior works will have been completed during Jan to April '25 (when the property is closed) so it will mostly be interior works (electrics, plumbing and flooring etc.) with a little noise disruption is expected.
