5 bedroom detached house

The Granary is a splendid five-bedroom period property, converted from a farm building to provide spacious and thoroughly pleasant living accommodation, in a rural setting. The property features four reception rooms and attractive décor, which is complemented by exposed timber beams throughout.

The main reception room is the well-proportioned, dual aspect drawing room, which has two sets of French doors opening onto a paved south facing courtyard area, as well as an impressive brick-built fireplace, fitted with an electric stove. There is a formal dining room, also with French doors onto the courtyard area, and a useful study, while the comfortable family room and kitchen and breakfast room are connected in an open-plan layout, with the kitchen featuring solid oak wooden units, black granite worktops, a split butler sink and a range cooker, as well as space for a generous breakfast table.

On the first floor there are five double bedrooms, including the generous principal bedroom, which has its own dressing area with fitted storage, and an en-suite bathroom with a separate shower unit. There is one further bedroom en-suite, which also has fitted storage, plus a family bathroom.

The property is set in a rural location, six miles from the North Yorkshire market and spa town of Knaresborough. Knaresborough has a good selection of local amenities, including a variety of shops and supermarkets, a post office and several pubs and restaurants. Harrogate has a wider variety of shopping, plus an array of excellent leisure facilities, including the superb Harrogate Golf Club, and cultural facilities, including cinemas, theatres and galleries.

Outstanding-rated schooling in the area is available at Marton-Cum-Grafton CofE Primary School and Meadowside Academy in Knaresborough, and for secondary, St. Aidan’s and Harrogate Grammar School, both in Harrogate.

The area is well connected by road, with the A1(M) just two and three quarter miles away.

At the front of the property, a five-bar timber gate opens onto a tarmac driveway, which provides plenty of parking space and leads to the attached garage. There are well maintained lawns to the side and rear of the house, while towards the rear, at one side is the courtyard area, with paved and gravel terracing, while to the other side there is a lawn, bordered by hedgerow and post and rail fencing.
