Beauty spot
- Spectacular sunsets can be seen from the west-facing rear garden which boasts sensational views in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The skies are unblemished by light pollution so the spot is perfect for stargazing. During daylight, sheep can be seen grazing on farmland and, every now and again, the flock are joined by sheepdogs who skilfully round them up.
- These views can be taken in from the conservatory, which features a skylight amongst its tile roof. The kitchen and dining room windows also face out onto this lovely scenery.
The home at a glance
- The Granary is set in a plot of land that is one-third of an acre and is surrounded by generous gardens to the front, side and rear. A long driveway, around 45 yards in length, leads from the home to its gated entrance, providing additional privacy. A previous owner installed electrical shutters over the windows to ensure extra peace of mind when leaving the property vacant during trips abroad.
- There are five bedrooms, of which the master includes an en-suite shower room. There are inter-connecting doors between this room and another of the bedrooms, so this has been utilised as a walk-in wardrobe.
- Planning permission has been granted to extend the kitchen and merge it with the dining room to create an open-plan area.
- Both outbuildings, the workshop and gazebo - nicknamed "the bandstand" - have power and light. There is potential for the workshop to become a home office and the bandstand could become a bar. All the way around the front and rear garden, there is water and power.
Location
- English Bicknor Church of England Primary School consistently attains 'Good' Ofsted ratings. After its most recent grading, the inspector commended the leadership team for knowing their pupils and families well. On its doorstep is the village's small Norman church.
- The village hall provides a centre for community activities during non-Covid times, such as Morris dancer demonstrations, tractor drives, quiz nights and talent shows. As there is no pub in the village, the hall frequently opens its bar - particularly around matches involving the village's friendly football team - which is also based at the hall.
