Granborough House is a sympathetically restored Georgian family home combining period character with thoughtful modern upgrades. The layout centres on a large country-style kitchen/breakfast/dining room that links to a pantry and versatile playroom/study — ideal for family life and open-plan living. Ground-floor comforts include underfloor heating, a snug with a wood-burning stove, utility and boot room, and integrated Sonos audio.
The first-floor principal suite features a vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes and an Italian marble en-suite; three further double bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the upper floors. Secondary glazing and insulated storage built into the landing improve warmth and practicality, while recent renovations (2018) preserved exposed oak beams, an original fireplace and other period details.
Outside the landscaped grounds are a major selling point: large patio, formal lawns, a fire-pit seating area, and a high-quality shepherd’s hut currently used as an insulated home office (included in the sale). Gated driveway with ample parking, motion-sensor lighting, alarm and CCTV add security. The property is freehold, set in an affluent, very low-crime hamlet with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Considerations: the house sits in a rural hamlet feel rather than a suburban street — great for privacy but more car-dependent. One nearby secondary school, Fulbrook, is currently rated as “Requires improvement”; local primary schools have good Ofsted ratings. The property is offered either alone or alongside a neighbouring annexe, which may affect purchase options.
