Description - One of two spectacular properties that have been created out of the conversion of this iconic local building encompassing many original features with bespoke high-end fittings throughout and offering homes with accommodation circa 5365 sqft and 4782 sqft plus amazing garden room, garage and carports.
The former offices of grain merchant Campbell and Penty, this iconic Victorian Workhouse has been sympathetically restored to exemplary standards to create two spectacular dwellings. The internal structure has been retained with the original features such as brick arches, daylight tunnels, and high ceilings throughout. These features have been beautifully complemented with a high-end build quality, rarely seen today.

Features of note include the ground floors of both properties feature hardwearing Ostuni Grey antique tumbled limestone tiles in the kitchen and boot room areas. Reclaimed engineered wooden floors have been used in the living areas to complement this elegant floor aesthetic throughout.

The bespoke kitchen, bathrooms and utility areas are of the highest standard. A mix of painted Shaker style and timber cabinets creates a standout focal point within their respective areas. Reclaimed timber clad hallways and feature bedroom walls further enhance the aesthetic of these stunning properties. The upstairs floor covering features a mix of timer and carpet, creating a unique space at every turn.

The main house and ensuite bathrooms are truly stunning. These spaces are an absolute pleasure to walk into, finished to the highest standard with a brilliant balance of colour and design. The outside space is the icing on the cake, a low-maintenance back garden, complemented at the front with a jaw-dropping garden room, garage and carport. This high-quality space is an extension of both properties, offering a truly remarkable living experience.

The Grange - Entrance door leads to the impressive reception hall with timber panelling to walls, tiled flooring with underfloor heating, exposed original timbers, fantastic boot room facilities with built-in wardrobes, storage and hanging racks and exposed brick wall. To the side of the reception hallway is the utility room with floor mounted units, appliance units with marble worktop over, inset double stainless-steel sink with brass mixer tap over. An opening from the reception hall leads to the simply stunning living-dining-kitchen. Features have been made of the original archways and a fantastic brick arch with shelving and built-in kitchen storage units over creates a fabulous bar area. A large inglenook fireplace has been crated with brick reveals and slate and brick hearth and there is an enormous wood-burning stove. The kitchen area has fabulous Shaker-style units with huge central island with marble work top over and bronze Quooker tap. There is a large 5 oven Aga with additional hot plate to side. Further built-in larder unit perfect for coffee making facilities with beautiful inset marble worktop and drawer systems. To either side of the cooking zone, both of which have marble shelving and extensive pull-out drawers. There is a large integrated Fisher Paykel fridge-freezer and off the central island, a timber breakfast bar area. Directly opposite the living-dining-kitchen is the fabulous snug with Victorian style panelling to the walls. This is a super room and could be used by those who want to work from home as it has its own external entrance door. Adjacent to the snug is the office views over the garden and a door from the hall leads to the inner hall with the original staircase off, cloakroom/wc with high-flush wc and wash-hand basin set in pretty vanity unit with Silestone reveals.

The sitting room in The Grange is truly impressive with 3 original side windows overlooking the garden, full height brick fireplace with slate hearth and inset woodburning stove.

As in the Old Grain Store, the Grange has its plant room positioned to the rear of the hall under the stairs. There is a useful storage cupboard housing the hot water tank on the half landing, and the landing as with The Old Grain Store, has some truly spectacular features, including the brick archway, full height skylight and exposed beams. The first bedroom suite can be found to the left at the top of the stairs, again with exposed beams, full height timber panelling to wall and fantastic ensuite shower room. This has a Crittall framed shower, low flush wc, circular wash-hand basin set in pretty vanity unit and wrought-iron effect heat towel rail. There is a further bedroom suite to the far end of the landing with built-in dressing room and storage, gorgeous ensuite bathroom with free-standing slipper bath with brass mixer tap and shower attachment over, large walk-in shower again with brass fittings and rain-forest shower over., circular wash-hand basin set in pretty vanity unit, low flush wc and brass effect heated towel rail. The major feature of this ensuite is the spectacular skylight positioned directly above the free-standing bath, perfect to look at the stars. There are 3 further huge double bedrooms with exposed beam features. The main house bathroom is quite spectacular in The Grange. With freestanding slipper bath and chrome mixer tap and shower attachment over. The open-plan shower would not look out of place in a Roman bath facility with fabulous tiling to 3 sides and individual hexagonal tiling to the floor. There is a circular wash-hand basin set in a double vanity unit, low flush wc and complimentary chrome towel rail.

Outside - The property is approached via gravelled driveway and leads to a double oak-framed car-port and single garage. The centre of this building is a major selling feature being the additional garden room space with oak-framed porch. This is multi-functional and could be used as an entertaining area with bar/barbeque cooking facilities but could equally be utilised as a gym or for those wanting to work from home. From the garden room, a large, paved patio provides an area for seating an entertaining and stone steps lead up to a block paved path that curves through the lawned garden area to the front door. There is attractive Laurel screening and fencing to the sides. To the rear of the property is the aforementioned westerly facing paved patio with gravelled area, raised beds and mature planning to the rear.
