Great views of lawns and gardens from home, patio seating & sky-lighted tea room
This is a charming, two-story home across from the 1835 Congregational Church in historic South Britain and the surrounding foothills at the border of Litchfield County.. It is an easy 75-minutes away from NYC by car and 2 hours by bus.
The two-story carriage house was built in 1795 as part of the main house. The first floor space for the carriage is now a very large living room and adjacent television viewing area (bedroom 3 at night). A kitchen and dining room wing was added with views out to the grounds. The second floor is reached by an open stair. The former hayloft and stable master's quarters are now a super-sized master bedroom, a sun-room office with windows facing 3 directions, a second smaller bedroom, a modern bathroom with shower, and a washer/dryer area.
Adjacent to the Carriage House is a 450 sq. ft. sky-lighted 3-Season Room (April to December) with a profusion of plants, an over-sized fire place, lounge and dining seating, buffet and bar, and views opening to to the lawns and gardens. This space is perfect for parties, meetings, conferences, buffet dinners, even weddings on the lawns. This space, if available, can be rented by the day if you would like to have it.

Spent long weekend here with our dog who loved the big lawn the the nearby dog park, which is enormous. Jay was a great host and we played tennis with him as well as some drinks. Fascinating host with great stories. Would definitely rent again.

We loved staying here with our toddler. Jay was a great host and offered us a bottle of wine upon arrival. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The house is only 10 min. from our family and we loved having friends over to eat outside after the baby went down. And she loved running around the beautiful yard and playing in the gazebo. We will be making Jay's carriage house our home away from home next time we go back to visit.

The carriage house is in a great spot if you are staying in the region. Lovely gardens provide a tranquil outdoor setting.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were so happy to visit our son at Waterbury, which is only a short drive away. The host is very nice and welcoming. I highly recommend.

First time visit to Connecticut, the Carriage House was the way to go. Very cold outside, but warm and welcoming inside. Lovely furnishings, pristine accommodation, parking right at the door set off the street made for easy coming and going. Quiet, and well stocked. Backyard patio and backyard are comfortable and with the timing we had of a full moon and clear skies was a real treat. Kitchen and bath nicely stocked. Very nice and comfortable living room and dining area. Would happily stay here again.
