4 bedroom character property for sale

“As old becomes new, two homes come into view” - The Talbot & Granary derives from an old coaching in, dating back as far as 1647, steeped in history and now meticulously renovated into the spectacular homes they stand as today.

We're excited to announce the launch event for The Talbot & Granary Friday 18th October 5.30pm - 7.30pm! - Reach out to us to be added to the Guest List!

The original building would have served as a halfway house between London and the docks in Liverpool meaning lots of freight and carriages would have passed by horse & cart regularly through the village stopping at the inn! Throughout the years since, so much has taken place here, from the Spencer family undertaking their own renovations, Charles Dickens staying here referencing such within one of his novels, and an original priest hole remains to the corner of one room!

Well renowned local developers Renovo Homes have now produced two breathtaking homes of exceptional proportions offering something often unheard of - the chance to purchase a nearly 400 year old property with the benefit of 10 years warranty!

The Granary itself forms a versatile four bedroom home of excellent proportions including an annexe space which makes this historical yet high quality home perfect for a number of different buyers whether thats you needing to house additional family, have separate space for teenagers or even work from home with the ability to use the annexe space as a studio for example.

The accommodation in this home is vast, arranged over three floors and is home to one of the stand out features of the whole Talbot & Granary development - The Glass Box! This space provides access to all floors, including an array of extra rooms to the basement.

Taking centre stage, is the open plan living kitchen dining room which features a spectacular range of high quality units and a large centre island which extends out into the glass box! Additionally this space offers room for multiple large pieces of furniture in the living area, which enjoys a focal point of a cast iron log burner within a brick surround. Back through the hallway within the box is a Utility Room & Cloakroom WC.

Rising up to the middle floor, you will enjoy the views though the immense windows on the rear elevation, over the garden and beyond to the rolling countryside in the distance. This floor houses Bedroom Two & Three, together with a spacious principle family Bathroom.

An internal staircase leads on to the upper floor, where the incredible Master Suite occupies the whole space, with large bedroom, off which lies an in & out dressing room! Furthermore, there is a spacious Ensuite where the freestanding bathtub is perfectly angled to take in arguably the developments best views.

Beneath the main hallway, lies the Boot Room. This handy space also provides access through into various Basement rooms. There are three main rooms, one being a plant room. You could easily gain further living accommodation or just enjoy the vast amount of storage.

Moving over to the Annexe, the ground floor comprises a sunken snug which could provide a number of uses. As it is accessible from the living space of the main accommodation, it could easily be an additional sitting room. Others may prefer to use as a work / hobby space or even a cinema room! From here there are glazed doors which open out onto the Annex’s own courtyard garden. External steps then rise into the upper level of the Annex where you will find a large bedroom, store room and bathroom.

Externally, the garden has been beautifully landscaped to include an attractive full width stone patio area which flows seamlessly from the same tiled flooring of the kitchen and hallway! Beyond the patio lies a large lawn. The garden is enclosed by a well appointed brick wall surround with gated access onto the parking beyond. The courtyard garden is mainly gravelled and provides additional pedestrian access.
