5 bedroom barn conversion for sale

A beautiful, detached, granary conversion, situated on a generous plot extending to just slightly under 1/2 an acre, with fields surrounding it and offering a tranquil place to call home. "The Granary" has been exactly that for our clients for nearly 30 years, during that time they have extended and improved it and are now offering the property to the market for sale as a fine example of its type.

The accommodation comprises of a porch with tiled floor leading into the main hallway with the stairs rising to the first floor. On the right hand side is the main living room with triple aspect windows and all centred around the fire place with a log burning stove in the fireplace. On the other side of the hallway lies the kitchen which entails a space for dining table, a selection of units for storage in solid wood with black granite worktops and tiled splash backs. It also includes some integrated appliances and space for free standing ones as well. The Belfast style sink is located directly in front of the window so owners could watch the wildlife visiting the garden while they wash up!
Moving on through the property is the extension, which can provide multi-generational living but is currently arranged as a dining space with patio doors opening onto the garden. This is a lovely room with exposed stone work giving it a real feeling of homeliness - it would be wonderful at Christmas with the family all circled around the dining table! Next to this is another living room - again featuring a log burning stove, and just off this is a shower room/wc. Stairs lead up to the mezzanine level where another room is located which could provide a wealth of options for use - bedroom, office, playroom, crafting space.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms - The master bedroom has an ensuite shower room/wc. The house bathroom completes the layout and this features a bath with toilet and sink.

Externally, there are two garden spaces - the front garden is predominantly laid to grass with some fruit trees - perfect place for playing with children or pets, whilst the back garden features a space better set for entertaining with a wooden decked area, a brick Barbeque and a wooden out building which would could also offer many different uses. Lastly, the property offers a double garage which also features a very useful store area - perfect for golf clubs, or lawnmower. Just in front of the garage, there is parking for multiple cars.

Rough Lea Farm lies on the outskirts of the Village of Hunwick, which offers some local amenities such as a primary school rated "good" by Ofsted, and a village pub and coffee shop. The village lies between Willington and Bishop Auckland where there are a number of larger shops including national chain supermarkets, healthcare, secondary schooling and leisure activities. The property is surrounded by fields and a great selection of walks are on the very door step.

All in all, this property is a wonderful place to live - for anyone that enjoys the peace of living away from the centre of a town or village, yet these can be reached easily, then we recommend a viewing to experience the fine opportunity that is on offer.
