The Granary, West Torrington

The Granary is an immaculately presented, late 19th Century barn; intelligently converted to provide high-quality accommodation over 2700 sq ft, with original features throughout sympathetically incorporated. These include original flagstone slabs laid to floor the entrance hall/dining room, used when the buildings were a working farm; while local craftsmen created units for the kitchen, living room, utility and dressing room and much of the property is decorated with Farrow & Ball paints.

Part of a four-strong development, the property is located in a rural position with a courtyard style, south-facing garden; front lawn, gravelled drive and double garage plus store. The property enjoys views to the North and West across arable farmland beyond the hedged boundaries; the distinctive silhouette of Lincoln’s hill-top, Norman Cathedral visible on the horizon.

Accommodation begins with a centre-piece, full height dining hall, with galleried landing above; accessing the wide kitchen, and spacious lounge, with utility and entrance space completing the ground floor. The first provides four bedrooms, including master with en suite, walk in wardrobe and mezzanine storage space; bedrooms two and three also with en suite shower rooms.

West Torrington is a rural hamlet located north of the popular Georgian market town of Horncastle; within four miles of well-serviced Wragby. A greater range of amenities can be found in the town of Market Rasen, while the county city of Lincoln is just 15 miles away.
