An individual & highly stylish period conversion, perfectly combining striking modern design with much character, to create a sizeable family home on the edge of the village of Wadhurst.
The Granary is one of a small collection of attractive period conversions within the small hamlet of Woods Green. The property was lovingly refurbished and updated by our clients to create a substantial and attractive home with a stylish, light-filled finish to complement the character and origins of the building. The house enjoys well-proportioned rooms and flexible accommodation together with a very high standard of presentation throughout with contemporary fittings and finishes.
Our clients have created a layout that is well-suited to modern family living and entertaining; behind the front door awaits the very impressive, light-filled rear view that incorporates a kitchen/breakfast/dining area and sitting room, a magnificent space of over 50 foot in length that overlooks and opens onto the beautiful, large courtyard garden.
The fitted kitchen has marble work surfaces and a large central island with breakfast bar, provides super preparation space. There is a range of integrated Gaggenau appliances including a large hob, fridge and freezer, including a wine fridge, ceiling mounted extractor fan, coffee machine and split-level ovens, with cupboards and drawers providing good storage.

A utility room and WC are also found on the ground floor.
On the lower ground floor, an expansive 36 foot long room can be used for a number of uses, such as a home gymnasium, games room, or home cinema.
Tucked away the principal bedroom is found to the rear of the ground floor, with sliding glazed doors on one side giving access to the decked terrace and delightful views over the gardens to the rear with a stable door opening to the courtyard garden. There is a large and luxurious en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room which also leads to a mezzanine/study area.

Outside: The Granary enjoys a number of delightful and different outdoor spaces. The courtyard, surrounded on three sides by the property, is an exceptional space for outdoor entertaining with its dry stone walling and central open fire with kitchen garden and stone-built chimney and walk-in hearth. The two enormous olive trees and herbaceous planting immediately transport you to warmer climes.
The decked terrace spans the rear of the house and is accessed via the family room and the principal bedroom, a wonderful spot to enjoy the view over the stream to the gardens beyond.
The garden behind the house is accessed by steps from the decking area with a small bridge over the stream leading onto a generous area of lawn, which is interspersed with established planting and shrub borders, providing colour and interest.
The Granary is approached via an in-and-out driveway which also gives access to an integral garage.

The Granary must be seen to be understood as this property gives very little away from the approach but as soon as you open the door the magic and attention to detail begins to unfold, starting with the view that takes you from the front to the back of the house and to the gardens beyond!
