Find Out A Little More .... - The Old Granary has the distinctive character of a traditional stone agricultural building, with brick-edged arched openings and a pantile roof, whilst internally the conversion has created bright, spacious and highly practical accommodation.

At the heart of the property is a generously proportioned, open-plan kitchen/dining room offering plenty of space for family get-togethers, everyday living and entertaining. A broad arched glazed doorway opens directly onto the south-facing terrace and garden.

The fitted kitchen incorporates a substantial circular breakfast island with inset sink together with integrated appliances including triple ovens, an electric hob, dishwasher and wine cooler. Twin rooflights bring additional natural light from above, while an exposed timber beam lends character to the otherwise contemporary interior. The adjoining utility room provides further practical space and incorporates a wc and basin.

The sitting room is well proportioned and features a glazed arch incorporating two windows and a door opening south, directly onto the garden terrace.

Two double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings benefit from their own en suite facilities. The principal bedroom suite has two rooflights and a walk-in wardrobe, together with a shower room. The second bedroom suite has a fitted walk-in cupboard and a bathroom. This arrangement is particularly convenient for guests or two-person living.

Outside - The Old Granary is set discreetly behind a stone wall with railings and small garden. A private brick-set driveway approaches the property and its adjoining single garage, providing useful off-street parking behind metal gates. The garage measures approximately 17'9" x 8'9" and has an up-and-over door.

To the rear is an appealing, south-facing garden, enclosed by stone walls lined with colourfully planted borders and climbers on three sides and a well-established hedge on the other. An area of lawn is accompanied by a broad paved terrace immediately adjoining the house. Accessed directly from both the kitchen/dining room and sitting room, it provides a sheltered setting for summer dining and entertaining.

The combination of stone boundary walls, lawn and established planting gives the garden an attractive sense of enclosure and privacy.
