5 bedroom detached house for sale

The Granary is a charming detached family home that was converted from a farm building. It still retains plenty of original character, including its brick and weatherboarded elevations outside, and exposed timber framing and wooden flooring inside. The Granary has a double height entrance hall with stairs which split at the first landing, joining both wings of the house with a glazed study area. The ground floor has two main reception rooms, the largest, 32ft. The room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber eaves and doors which open onto the garden. There is also a comfortable drawing room adjoining the kitchen, which could be used as a bedroom if required. The kitchen itself has farmhouse-style units and an Aga, as well as space for a breakfast table. There is one double bedroom en suite on the ground floor, with the first floor providing a further two double bedrooms and a dressing room, which could be used as a single bedroom or a nursery. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, with the first floor also including a family bathroom.
