Grade II listed granary conversion with notable period features
A striking Grade II listed granary conversion offering expansive, versatile accommodation across an extremely large floor area. The property blends original agricultural character—exposed roof trusses, oak flooring and brickwork—with modern interventions such as a farmhouse-style kitchen, glazed oak staircase and double glazing fitted after 2002.
Set within a huge plot with gardens to three sides and a gated tarmac driveway, the house includes two detached outbuildings: a purpose-built gym and a traditional double garage with upper-level workshop/storage accessed by external stairs. The layout suits families or buyers seeking ancillary space for hobbies, home working or light business use, with two bedrooms on the ground floor (including the principal suite with en‑suite) and two further first-floor bedrooms around an open-plan living/dining area with balcony.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks that affect running costs and renovation scope. The building’s Grade II listed status will restrict external and some internal alterations and may add cost and delay to upgrades. Walls are solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, the main heating is oil-fired boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are very slow, and there is a medium flood risk for the area. Council tax is above average. These factors are important for long-term running costs and any modernisation plans.
Overall this is a character-rich, adaptable home on a very large plot with substantial ancillary buildings. It will suit purchasers who value historic character and generous space and who are comfortable managing listed-building constraints and some ongoing maintenance and utility considerations.
