General purpose barn and oak‑framed triple garage; ample parking

Set in an idyllic riverside hamlet, The Old Granary is a substantial five‑bedroom converted granary offering a rare mix of character and productive land. Stone elevations, exposed beams and large arched openings create light, airy living spaces centred on a bespoke Mark Wilkinson kitchen and a garden room with panoramic river views. Mature gardens, two lakes, an orchard and meadows create a private country setting across 10.32 acres — ideal for a family small‑holding or nature‑minded buyer.
The grounds include a substantial general purpose barn, an oak‑framed triple garage, fishing rights and two shepherds huts with a proven short‑let income stream. Solar PV and solar hot water reduce running costs and provide an income contribution, and the property enjoys excellent mobile reception and very low local crime.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the property relies on oil‑fired central heating and stone walls that likely lack modern insulation, broadband speed is very slow, and council tax is high (Band G). The listing records a high flooding risk; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves via the full flood and insurance information and seek independent expert advice where necessary.
Overall, The Old Granary suits buyers seeking a distinctive country home with strong outdoor amenity and income potential from holiday lets and fishing. It will appeal to those prepared to manage a large rural estate and to invest selectively in energy efficiency and connectivity improvements.
