House For Sale £600,000
In a stunning area of quiet country walks and unspoilt views, The Old Granary is the largest of an exclusive development of luxury barn conversions and offers a wealth of stunning period features such as vaulted ceilings, a minstrels’ gallery, and wonderful exposed oak beams. The property's charm and character have been thoughtfully balanced with exquisite interior design, resulting in an ideal fusion of modern family living while preserving the original barn's unique personality.
Spanning three levels, this generous home offers five double bedrooms, three bathrooms, a beautiful breakfast kitchen and open pantry/laundry area. Additionally, it features an excellent study, a spacious living room with double doors that lead to the enchanting rear gardens, which house an attractive summer house and a bridge spanning a stream, leading to a small paddock and offering access to superb country walks.
Approached through the second courtyard of Shurnock Barns, The Old Granary stands out as the grandest among these attractively converted properties. From the moment you approach the entrance, you can clearly see the immaculate presentation with the smart Indian slate terrace and steps leading up to the solid Idigbo front door.
Once inside, you immediately appreciate the stunning décor and presentation, along with the high-quality finish that utilizes the beautiful colour palettes of Farrow & Ball. This theme continues throughout this delightful family home. The light and airy reception hall, with its high vaulted ceiling, offers a perfect contrast with fabulous exposed beams beautifully juxtaposed with the more contemporary Neville Johnson staircase, and smart slate-tiled flooring. Accessible from the reception hall is the guest WC and cloakroom, along with a superb study featuring a picture window overlooking a very tranquil rear garden and unspoilt views—a perfect place to work in peace and quiet. The exceptional living room, with its exposed beams and feature corner fireplace, is generously sized and exquisite in décor, making it ideal for relaxation and entertaining. Double French Idigbo doors provide direct access to the outdoor terrace.
The breakfast kitchen exudes both elegance and practicality. It offers ample space for the family to dine together, and the open-plan layout creates a wonderfully sociable hub of the home. Stylish units and Silestone countertops deliver a luxurious finish. High-end appliances include the smart Rangemaster Leisure Gourmet 5 gas burner with an extractor above, a Hotpoint integrated dishwasher, a Bosch under-counter freezer, and a 1.5-bowl sink with a mixer tap. In the open-plan area leading to the laundry space, there are lovely old beams and exposed herringbone brickwork, perfectly complementing the kitchen's design. This area also provides excellent additional storage, along with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and an American fridge freezer.
Ascending the stairs to the first floor, you encounter the charming minstrels’ gallery on your left, a delightful period feature of The Old Granary. The high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams define the spacious first-floor landing. From here, you gain access to the principal bedroom suite, beautifully decorated and equipped with a superb range of bespoke fitted wardrobes. The luxurious en-suite features a top-quality modern shower enclosure, a hand basin, and a WC, all adorned with stylish contemporary Porcelanosa tiling. On this floor, you'll also find two additional excellent bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a second study. The well-proportioned family bathroom is also located on the first floor, boasting a bathtub with a shower attachment, a hand basin, and a WC, all adorned with Porcelanosa tiling. The light and airy landing leads to a second staircase that takes you to the top floor, where two more spacious bedrooms are situated, sharing a separate shower room.

Accessed from the double doors leading from the living room and a door from the study are the secluded rear gardens. Stepping onto the elegant Indian slate terrace, ideal for outdoor gatherings and al fresco dining, you enter a charming retreat from the bustling world. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with a variety of flower beds and mature shrubs and trees, including Peonies, Lilacs, Roses, and Holly. As you move from the lawned area, you arrive at the delightful summer house, a prominent feature of this outdoor space. It's fully insulated, heated, and equipped with electricity, making it suitable for year-round use. The summer house features Karndean flooring, a ceiling fan, and double-glazed windows on both sides of the double patio doors that lead to its own Indian slate terrace. From here, you can cross a small wooden bridge over Brandon Brook, leading to the enclosed paddock area surrounded by a mature Beech hedge. In the far corner, there's a wooden gate that grants access to the rest of the estate grounds, providing opportunities for scenic walks and access to open countryside beyond.
