DESCRIPTION

The Old Granary is a charming and characterful barn conversion, originally part of the neighbouring farm buildings, converted in the late 1980s and subsequently extensively renovated. The property has been in the current ownership since November 2023, during which time the sellers have made a number of thoughtful enhancements, including the installation of a substantial wood-burning stove, elegant Jim Lawrence light fittings, and electric entrance gates.

The ground floor has been remodelled to create an additional bedroom accessed from the sitting room. Ground floor Bedroom 3 is currently utilised as a craft room but could easily be reinstated as a bedroom if required. The original garage has been converted into a well-insulated workshop and subject to minor alterations, offers excellent potential to be repurposed as a garden room or home office.

The original building is believed to have been of timber construction, with the conversion sensitively incorporating a steel frame beneath a traditional tiled roof. Throughout the conversion, meticulous care was taken to enhance and reinstate period features, including exposed beams, while seamlessly blending these character elements with modern standards to create exceptionally comfortable accommodation throughout.

The large windows and entrance doors were replaced approximately four years ago with bespoke timber-framed units incorporating modern glazing. In 2023, the oil-fired boiler was replaced and a pressurised water system installed. During the same period, engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating was fitted to the sitting room and bedroom 5/dining room, alongside upgraded roof insulation, further enhancing comfort and energy efficiency.

This impressive barn conversion combines stunning design, exceptional craftsmanship, and thoughtful versatility, offering a unique opportunity to enjoy luxurious living in a beautiful, rural setting.

Stepping into this fabulous barn conversion, you are greeted by a spacious, fully glazed entrance hall, which creates a light, airy, and striking first impression. From here, access the ground-floor bedroom accommodation, a staircase leading to the first floor, and a doorway into the elegantly designed sitting room.

The expansive (27’5 x 18’6) sitting room boasts engineered oak flooring, underfloor heating, and a central brick-built chimney breast with a newly installed, large wood burner. French doors to the east allow the room to seamlessly connect with the beautifully landscaped garden, perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The open plan design flows effortlessly into the adjacent dining room/bedroom 5.

The dining/bedroom5 (18’0 x 12’8), is currently used as a bedroom but offers excellent potential for use as a formal dining room or additional living area. Like the sitting room, it features engineered oak flooring and underfloor heating. French doors provide direct access to the rear garden, enhancing the space’s natural light and connection to the outdoors.

The heart of the home, the kitchen (16’5 x 23’11), is an inviting, open space with a vaulted ceiling and exposed, painted timber beams. Double aspect views to the east and west, alongside four Velux windows, flood the room with natural light. The travertine tiled flooring complements the hand-built cabinetry by the renowned Bryan Turner Kitchens. Every detail in this bespoke kitchen has been carefully crafted, including the granite countertops, central island with breakfast bar, wine chiller, wine rack, built-in microwave, undermounted sink, and even a discreet refuse bin system. A stylish range cooker adds charm and practicality.

A separate utility room, with ceramic tiled flooring, is located just off the kitchen. An enclosed porch leads to the spacious (17’11 x 17’1) workshop, providing abundant space for storage, projects, or hobbies.

An open staircase rises from the impressive entrance hall to a first-floor landing, leading to the principal bedroom suite positioned at the western end of the barn. The generous main bedroom (15’5 x 19’2) enjoys excellent proportions and a calm, private outlook.

A thoughtfully designed dressing area links the bedroom to the ensuite bathroom, offering excellent flexibility. The layout allows the bathroom to be enclosed and used exclusively as an ensuite or alternatively accessed from the landing to serve bedroom two (13’7 x 17’1), which is located directly opposite. This adaptable arrangement provides both privacy and practicality, ideal for family living or guest accommodation.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached from the country lane (Wramplingham Road) via a gravelled driveway, over which the neighbouring property enjoys a right of access. Electric gates, installed by the current owners, provide secure and private entry to the driveway at the front of the barn.

A newly erected double garage with loft space offers excellent potential and, subject to the necessary planning consents, could be converted into ancillary annexe accommodation. Double gates from the driveway open directly into the garden, enhancing both access and privacy.

To the front of the barn is a landscaped, gravelled parking area, while the exceptional gardens lie to the east of the property. This beautiful outdoor space incorporates a historic horse pond, expansive lawned areas, and a wealth of mature trees and shrubs, all complemented by a charming summer house.

A large, decked terrace seamlessly connects the garden to the barn and provides a variety of seating and entertaining areas. This space is directly accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, and dining room/bedroom 5, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

Further enhancing the east side of the property is a suspended walkway that wraps around the barn and extends over the pond, forming a striking and unique feature within the garden. The gardens are truly magical and must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
