GRANGE FARM BARN
Grange Farm Barn combines the original period charm of exposed timbers and vaulted ceilings with impressive lifestyle and business potential, all arranged around a generous central courtyard setting.

The striking reception hall immediately sets the tone, featuring a double height vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, and brickwork. A staircase rises to the first floor, and doors lead through to the kitchen/breakfast room, with separate doors to the study and cloakroom.

To the left of the reception hall, the kitchen is well appointed with steps leading down to the breakfast room with built-in cloak cupboard, and from here a door leads to a partly covered courtyard. Another door leads into a second kitchen where a stable door then opens to a further courtyard garden.

To the right of the reception hall opens into a stunning reception room centred around an exposed brick double-sided fireplace with inset wood burner. The dining room enjoys a wealth of natural light, overlooking the garden. It is partly open to both the living and sitting rooms with vertical beams separating the spaces, creating a flowing yet characterful layout ideal for entertaining. The sitting room continues the exposed brick and timber theme, again benefiting from the double-sided fireplace. The living room features bifold doors opening onto the main garden providing excellent natural light.

An inner hall leads to the principal bedroom with bifold doors to the garden and a large walk-in wardrobe. Directly opposite is the particularly luxurious bathroom, featuring a raised quadrant Jacuzzi bath, wet room shower, and double vanity sinks.

The principal staircase leads to bedrooms three and four, both with ensuite shower rooms. A second staircase leads to a landing with a deep fitted wardrobe (concealing access to bedroom four), and an additional principal suite with large ensuite shower room.

THE ANNEXE

A beautifully appointed self-contained annexe offering excellent multigenerational or income potential. The annexe hosts to the ground floor a kitchen, sitting room, and cloakroom, while to the first floor are two ensuite bedrooms, with one featuring an external staircase access.

WORKSHOP & LEISURE COMPLEX

A substantial and highly versatile two-storey workshop building arranged around an impressive double-height central bay with full height windows to the front elevation rising to the first floor, offering flexibility, whether for business use, hobbies, storage or leisure.

FURTHER OUTBUILDINGS & EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES

The property is exceptionally well served by a comprehensive range of additional outbuildings, making it particularly attractive for equestrian, business or storage needs. There are five stables set within a covered stable block with concrete pads, and further enclosed paddock areas. A driveway runs to additional storage areas to the far corner of the plot. Collectively, these structures offer exceptional flexibility for vehicle storage, agricultural use, workshop activity or commercial-style operations (subject to any required consents).

OUTSIDE & GROUNDS

The property is approached via a gated driveway with an entry phone system, providing both security and privacy. In addition, a separate tarmac driveway serves the annexe, allowing independent access where required.

Beyond this is a generous paved patio area and dedicated outdoor dining space serving the pub building, ideal for entertaining on a larger scale. There is also a substantial pond with a decked seating area, previously home to koi carp, which sits opposite the pub and annexe, creating an attractive and tranquil setting within the heart of the development.
