SET IN ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER AND CAREFULLY PRESERVED VILLAGES BORDERING THE WOBURN ESTATE, A PERIOD FARMHOUSE WITH APPROXIMATELY 17 ACRES OF GARDEN, PADDOCKS AND WOODLAND.

The launch of Granham House to the market offers purchasers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire an unlisted period farmhouse with delightful grounds and acreage in a truly unspoilt location.

Granham House has been well cared for and being unlisted offers excellent scope to enhance, extend and remodel to create a superb home for modern family life.
The property is approached via a private driveway and leads to the farmhouse and principal garden with views beyond to the paddocks and woodland.
Leading from the formal garden some 7 acres of paddock are ideal for horses/ponies and livestock and those that enjoy rural hobbies. Lying beyond these there are 10 acres of woodland initially planted in 1989 with beech, ash, crab apple, whitethorn and cherry with a further 1,000 oak trees planted in 1995, all of which is affectionately known as ‘Basils Wood’.
