A characterful five bedroom granary conversion with immense potential, set in gardens and grounds of about 7 acres.
The Granary is a detached unlisted conversion occupying a lovely position with gardens and woodland of some 7 acres and bucolic views towards Ashburnham. Situated in An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, off a country lane, this timber framed property is thought to date in part, back to the 16th or 17th century with a later Victorian addition, and we understand it was converted in 1988, using reclaimed and locally sourced oak for the beams and bespoke staircase.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers potential purchasers the opportunity to update, whilst the surrounding gardens and woodland also have scope for landscaping.
Off the entrance hall are two reception rooms including a split level, south facing sitting room with wood burning stove (and back boiler for the first floor radiators) and a family/dining room enjoying views over the rear pond and gardens. Also located off the hall is a study, a WC, and within part of the brick built Victorian extension, a generous store room which in turn leads through to a side hall and the garage/workshop.
The kitchen/breakfast room, with brick floor, has fitted cupboards, electric point for oven and a wood burning stove (with back boiler for hot water and radiators downstairs). It too enjoys views over the gardens and direct access. There is an adjoining utility room, both rooms having space for white goods.
A bespoke oak staircase leads to the first floor where there are five bedrooms, several with ladder access to mezzanine/platforms. There are two bathrooms, one of which is en suite to the main vaulted bedroom.
Outside, The Granary is approached via two separate drives, one to the west of the house which leads to the garaging and the other to the east where there is further parking and access to the front of the house. Outbuildings include a dilapidated agricultural building and an old greenhouse. The gardens total about 1 acre and extend to the rear of the house, where there is a manmade pond with bridge, which continues to the gardens, which adjoin neighbouring farmland. The woodland stretches along the western boundary.

This conversion not only offers lovely views, but it also presents the opportunity to update and perhaps even incorporate an annexe (STP)
