The principal elevations consist of a rendered finish under pitched tiled roofs together with painted brick. The pretty principal elevation extends backwards into a deceptively large body of accommodation totalling approximately 5124 sq ft.

The farmhouse enjoys a wealth of original features including feature fireplaces, exposed beam work and worthy of note is the beautiful 19th Trompe l’oeil ceiling and wall artwork. The current owners have renovated the property to a very high standard, seamlessly blending modern comforts into a period canvass.

Outside
Grain House Farm has two points of access. The formal access is via a beautiful gravelled driveway, heralded by a low height brick walling, blockwork entrance splay and cast iron gate. Along the driveway is park railing with an open lawned area to one side and manicured hedging and period brick garden walling to the other. The formal front garden enjoys a beautiful church vista, mature hedging and well stocked beds. The driveway opens out to a large parking area and yard beyond.

There is a pretty side garden with herringbone brick paths alongside the entrance to the kitchen and work/storage rooms. The secondary access is from a flanking lane via a dedicated electric gate allowing larger vehicle access along a concrete road and in front of the modern barn. The barn at nearly 3500 sq ft is a useful building providing seven loose boxes, hay storage, open bay machinery parking and secure storage. A large open grassed area is situated in front of the barn with a sunken dew pond and a decorative circular brick area. Beyond is the all-weather manège and paddocks beyond, one of which includes an avenue of Cherry trees.
