Welcome to The Stables, a historic building, unique, elegantly re-vamped, original horse stable, converted into a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom modern villa, located within the widely renowned, historic suburb of Newcastle, The Hill. Originally constructed in 1895, this historic building has been restored between 2020 and 2022 by the current owners.

The owners of the stables have extensively planned the villa, ensuring that they have maintained the historical value of the building, during their renovations.
