The Space:
Enter through the beautifully landscaped garden into the striking entrance of The Granary, where double-height, floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the interior with natural light. The welcoming hallway, complete with practical boot and coat storage (just down the stairs), leads seamlessly into the heart of the home — a vast, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area designed for culinary experiences and entertaining.
Designed with both beauty and purpose in mind, the kitchen is effortlessly refined. A serene palette of earthy greens and natural wood finishes is elevated by a striking contemporary glass structure that frames uninterrupted garden views. Every detail has been carefully considered — from statement pieces to premium appliances — creating a space as functional as it is elegant.
Original beams crown the living and dining area, where ambient lighting and curated artwork provide warmth and texture. A restored open fireplace anchors the space, inviting cosy evenings by the fire. Just beyond, a few steps lead down to a snug — a sumptuous, cocoon-like hideaway perfect for quiet reading or film nights, layered in soft textiles and steeped in historic charm.
A discreet utility room and guest WC are tucked just off the entrance, blending convenience with thoughtful design.
Upstairs, the exposed brickwork staircase with bold black and timber detailing leads to the first floor, home to two beautifully appointed king-sized bedrooms. An expansive family bathroom provides comfort and style on this floor, complete with a walk-in rainfall shower and a bath, ideal for long, restorative soaks.
Continue up to the second floor and discover the family suite: an expansive king-sized bedroom with an adjoining room featuring a pull out daybed — perfect for younger guests or quiet reading. The en-suite bathroom is a true highlight, featuring a luxurious freestanding bath with sweeping sunset views across the garden and surrounding countryside, as well as a walk-in shower.
For those desiring additional privacy or space, The Granary includes a charming annex, sleeping two further guests. This separate retreat offers all the style and comfort of the main house and features a king-size bed that, like all beds throughout the property, can be configured as twins to suit your group. Complete with its own en-suite bathroom, the annex is an ideal option for grandparents, teens, or friends seeking a little solitude within the setting of a shared stay.
The beautifully landscaped garden features modern outdoor furniture and a BBQ area — an ideal setting for relaxing evenings or entertaining guests al fresco.
