DESCRIPTION

The Granary is an exceptional family home, beautifully converted and thoughtfully refurbished to offer versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, complemented by a self-contained one-bedroom annexe.

Upon entering, a welcoming tiled entrance hall sets the tone for the interiors beyond. To the right, the impressive kitchen and dining room has been carefully designed to combine style with practicality, with the dining area forming a social space that flows effortlessly into the Kitchen. Beautifully appointed, the kitchen features a Belfast sink with Quooker tap, range cooker, wine fridge, and a central island providing generous preparation space. Beyond, the utility is equally well equipped with extensive cabinetry, sink, and plumbing for a washing machine, while a stable-style door provides convenient access to the front.

To the left of the entrance hall, the dual-aspect sitting room is a bright and inviting space, filled with natural light. With exposed beams and wooden flooring underfoot, the room is both warm and characterful, centred around a striking log burner set within an impressive inglenook fireplace, framed by a timber lintel. Two sets of French doors, one opening onto the dining terrace and the other to the front, allow for effortless indoor-outdoor living.

Leading off the sitting room, the snug provides a more intimate retreat. Dual-aspect windows frame attractive views across the garden and countryside beyond, while a feature olive tree sits within a glass-enclosed atrium, with door access, offering a subtle reference to the nearby Roman Fort remains and adding a unique architectural touch.

Ascending the main staircase, to the first-floor landing, the elegant principal bedroom enjoys far-reaching views over rolling Rutland countryside. The room benefits from fitted wardrobes providing ample storage, along with a well-appointed ensuite featuring a walk-in shower and vanity unit.

Moving past a convenient storage cupboard, further along the landing are two additional double bedrooms, both well-proportioned and offering generous storage, with deep-set windowsills and warm wooden flooring. The bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, fitted with a bath and shower over.

A secondary staircase leads to a spacious upper landing, complete with a study nook overlooking the garden and a further storage cupboard. From here, two double bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, each enjoying fitted storage and a sense of privacy.

Complementing the house, the former stables have been thoughtfully converted to create a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, offering superb flexibility for extended family living or guest accommodation. The annexe is arranged around an open-plan living space, with bifold doors opening directing onto the dining terrace and garden beyond, as well as two additional sets of French doors to the side. The kitchen is fully fitted, with an integrated fridge freezer and plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine. To the rear, a wet room with rainfall shower and freestanding bath completes the accommodation.

OUTSIDE

Electric gates open onto a generous gravel driveway, providing ample off-road parking and a welcoming arrival to both the house and annexe. A garage offers additional storage and practicality, complemented by an EV charging point.

To the front, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, creating an attractive setting for the property and enhancing the overall sense of space. To the side, a well-positioned dining terrace is accessed directly from the sitting room via French doors. With the addition of outdoor heaters, this area provides an ideal spot for both relaxing and entertaining, making the most of the privacy and seclusion the garden affords. The garden also benefits from a charming summer house, offering a versatile space ideal for use as a home office or peaceful retreat.
