East Foscote, near Grittleton

This excellent period barn conversion is situated down a quiet country lane within a rural setting comprising just a handful of other properties. Situated 1 mile from the village of Grittleton, The Old Granary is believed to date back to the 1700s as part of of Neeld Estate. The property is tastefully presented throughout offering superb family-sized accommodation whilst externally it has the great addition of a large garden plus a 0.84 acre paddock.

The accommodation extends to over 2,000 sq.ft. arranged over two floors. At the heart of the ground floor there is a wonderful open plan kitchen/dining/family room. The traditional timber fitted kitchen features an Aga while the family room has a cosy wood-burning stove. The separate living room boasts charming arched windows and doors spilling out the garden, alongside a matching fireplace. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility/boot room with rear access. There is a downstairs double bedroom whilst upstairs there are three further bedrooms. The principal bedroom is accompanied by both a dressing room and en-suite. The family bathroom has been recently updated.

The Old Granary is set behind natural stone walling and timber gates opening to a large parking forecourt complete with an attached garage. The rear garden is a fantastic feature of the property laid mostly to lawn with an orchard at the foot and a seating area overlooking a pond. A private path leads directly from the garden to the paddock. There is also the benefit from a vehicular right of way into the paddock. The paddock suits a range of needs perfect for a smallholder seeking the good life.

In February 2024, planning permission was granted to create a first floor extension over the garage adding another bedroom, dressing room and en-suite. (Planning reference: PL/2023/08573)
