5 bedroom barn conversion

The Granary is a beautifully situated property set in well-tended garden grounds, set in the quiet hamlet of Mid Kelton, a short distance from the stunning Threave Estate and just a couple of miles from the popular town of Castle Douglas.

This former coach house was converted approximately 16 years ago and now offers an impressive family home, with garaging, generous driveway and a lovely garden.  The house offers bright, versatile and very spacious accommodation over two levels, with high quality fixtures and fittings to include American oak floors, a wood burning stove, arched windows, slate floors and en suite bath/shower rooms to three of the bedrooms.

Set back from the quiet road, the property is accessed via a gated gravelled driveway, with ample parking and turning, and access to the double garage.

ACCOMMODATION

There are two entrances into the property.  The main entrance is located at the head of the driveway, with arched glazed door and side panels.  The front door opens into a welcoming reception hall, with oak floor and carpeted stair rising to the first-floor galleried landing. There is also an understair cupboard and storage room located off the hall, with fitted shelving, slate floor and this room houses the boiler and hot water tank.

The kitchen enjoys a dual aspect and a slate floor and features an excellent range of fitted red gloss units with complementary worksurfaces.  There is an LPG gas Rangemaster oven, ceramic sink, integrated dishwasher and a built-in breakfast bar.  Immediately adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room, providing storage and plumbing for white goods, and access to the exterior, and a ground floor WC. 

The kitchen leads through to the fabulous double height dining room, which is a superb entertaining space.  This room enjoys American oak flooring and a dual aspect, with two large arched windows to the side elevation, French doors to the terrace and garden and oak stairs which rise to the mezzanine study above.  Double doors open from the dining room into the sitting room, which is another generous space, again with American oak flooring, a large wood burning stove and French doors that open to the terrace and garden. 

The mezzanine study boasts fitted bookshelves and leads through to the principal bedroom suite, which comprises a large bedroom with dual aspect and lovely views of the rolling countryside, a fitted walk-in wardrobe, and a tiled ensuite bathroom, with freestanding bath and generous shower cubicle. 

The remaining bedrooms are accessed from the main reception hall.  The ground floor double bedroom is an excellent size and is situated to the rear of the house, while the front room is presently used as a snug/family room but could equally be a fifth double bedroom if required.  There is a modern tiled shower room located off the hall, to service these rooms.

Carpeted stairs rise to a galleried landing with shelved storage cupboard and access to the loft space.  There are two large double bedrooms on this level, both with dual aspects and ensuite bath/shower rooms. 

OUTSIDE

A gated entrance, set back from the road, opens into a generous gravelled driveway, with parking for many vehicles.  There is a double garage, with two sets of timber double doors, concrete floor, power and light.

The garden wraps around the house, and enjoys the sun for the majority of the day.  The garden is fully enclosed with a combination of hedging and wall, so ideal for children and/or pets. The present owners are keen gardeners and they have created a wonderful outdoor space. It comprises areas of lawn, natural/wild areas, raised flower beds, log store, greenhouse and potting shed. As well as a paved terrace for al fresco entertaining, there is also a purpose-built timber ‘Sitooterie’, where the current owners enjoy barbecuing and hosting friends.
