Description

The Granary Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire an idyllic country home perfectly suited to equestrian living, combining beautifully appointed accommodation with excellent grazing land, stabling and outbuildings.

The Property
Set amidst glorious countryside and enjoying far-reaching rural views, this charming stone barn conversion offers the ideal balance of comfortable family living and practical horse ownership. Extending to approximately five acres, the property has been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of its exceptional outdoor facilities whilst retaining all the warmth and character of a much-loved family home.

Inside, exposed beams, natural stone and generous living spaces create an inviting atmosphere throughout. At the heart of the home, the elegant sitting room features a striking fireplace with multi-fuel stove, providing the perfect space to unwind after a day spent outdoors. The adjoining garden room, with its bi-fold doors opening onto the gardens, seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living and enjoys lovely views across the grounds.

The dining kitchen combines rustic charm with modern practicality, featuring quality oak cabinetry, a range cooker and integrated appliances, creating an ideal space for family life and entertaining. A versatile study offers excellent home-working potential and could also serve as a fourth bedroom, while the ground floor bathroom is beautifully appointed with bath over the bath shower.

The first floor provides a superb principal suite, complete with a walk-in dressing room and stylish en-suite facilities. Two further generous bedrooms are complemented by an additional en-suite wet room, ensuring comfortable accommodation for family and guests alike.

For equestrian enthusiasts, the outdoor facilities are a particular highlight. Direct access from the gardens leads to a well-maintained five-acre paddock with field shelter, providing excellent grazing and space for horses or ponies. To the rear, two hunter stables, together with a hay barn benefiting from electricity and mains water, create practical and highly desirable equestrian infrastructure rarely found with properties of this calibre.

The mature gardens offer a wonderful setting in which to relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside, featuring lawns, patios, a greenhouse and polytunnel, while the dedicated boot room and utility area provide invaluable practical space for country and equestrian life.

Whether you're seeking a family home with land, a small equestrian holding or simply the dream of countryside living with horses on your doorstep, The Granary Cottage offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in a peaceful and picturesque setting.
