Description:
The Granary is a beautiful and generously proportioned converted barn located down a quiet country lane on the edge of the village. Careful thought and attention has been put into creating practical yet welcoming living spaces with an abundance of natural light throughout.
The entrance hall with boot room provides ample discreet storage for muddy wellies and winter coats. The kitchen/dining room is clearly the heart of the house and a wonderful room in which to entertain family and friends. The room is superbly laid out around a centre island with a Falcon range oven, plenty of worktop space and storage which includes a handy larder. The dining area works perfectly for everyday gatherings and for more formal dinner parties. The adjacent sitting room works brilliantly as a TV/movie room and flows through to the generous living room with inglenook fireplace and wood burner. This is a lovely room in which to relax in front of the fire after a long country walk and French doors allow for indoor/ outdoor living in the warmer months. There is a further sitting room with French doors giving on to the terrace. This could also make a superb study. Stairs lead up to a double bedroom and with the shower room this wing of the house is superbly laid out for hosting guests or could be used as a self-contained living space for an elderly relative or older children. The ground floor also has a handy utility and cloakroom. Upstairs in the main house is the master suite with bedroom, dressing room and en suite shower room.

The terrace, surrounded by stunning flowerbeds, is perfect for enjoying sundowners in the summer and al fresco dining. To the front of the house there is private parking. There is also a garage and car port.
Vendors' thoughts: “One joy of living here is the tranquillity of the surroundings. Often, all you can hear are the sounds of the birds. A hedgehog, who chose to overwinter in one of the borders, was also a highlight!”
