A host of high quality fixtures, fittings and finishes can be discovered such as the must-have AGA, essential for every country home, solid wood internal shutters, Farrow & Ball paint and a range of bespoke fitted furniture & carpentry to name but a few.

Granary Fields is a private cul-de-sac of just six individually designed properties of similar stature. Granary Farmhouse is accessed via the opening off the Holme Hale Road and is approached through a five-bar gated entrance opening onto a shingle driveway, which intersects the pleasant lawned front garden. To the front of the property there is a generous amount of off-road parking space which also leads to the front of the triple garage. The grounds extend to approximately 0.4 acres (STMS) in total, the majority of which is laid to well-manicured lawn with mature borders containing a wealth of beautiful plants, shrubs and small trees. Another area of the garden, to the side of the trellis fencing, contains 4 raised beds, a central pergola bathed in climbing roses and also houses a timber shed/log store. Boundaries are defined by hedging and fencing and to the rear you will find beautiful unspoilt views over the surrounding countryside in almost all directions.
