SITUATION

The Granary is accessed down a little driveway, off the lane that runs through Combe Hay. The setting is a magical spot and very private.

The village of Combe Hay bene?ts from the excellent Wheatsheaf Restaurant, a church, and is surrounded by beautiful countryside which forms part of The Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The valley that runs through Combe Hay with its brook is charming. The neighbouring village of Wellow offers a village shop, primary school, public house and church, whilst the beautiful City of Bath is close by providing an extensive range of restaurants, shops and activities.

The property is well placed for commuting with easy access to the M4 and the wider motorway network. The area is renowned for the quality of its private and public schooling, including Beechen Cliff, Monkton Combe, Prior Park and King Edwards.

DESCRIPTION

The Old Granary was originally converted in the early 1980s by our client’s family. They have loved living at the property and it is now ready for its next phase of evolution. It is very well laid out and offers considerable scope to purchasers to remodel to their specification, subject to any necessary consents being granted.

Entering via the front door, you are greeted by a generous entrance hall to the right of which is a downstairs cloakroom. This leads through to a wonderful reception/dining room with a door straight out to the side garden.

To your left you go through to a light and airy south facing sitting room with triple aspect and French doors out to the gardens. There is a fireplace with Jetmaster inset.

Off the dining room is a really good-sized kitchen, to the rear of which is a well-planned utility room, where the oil fired boiler is located. Leading on from the kitchen, and a really attractive feature of the house, is an open-sided garden room, which we love. Ideal for summer outside dining, this area could easily be completely enclosed, but creates a special feel to the house.

A staircase from the dining room takes you up to the bedroom accommodation. On the landing there is a door that leads outside to the original stone staircase; this is another charming feature. There is a very large master bedroom to the right hand side of the landing which has fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. To the opposite end of the landing is bedroom two, also a superb and generous size, with triple aspect and views to the south. There are two further bedrooms and a shower room. A landing airing cupboard houses the hot water cylinder.

Externally

The gardens have been well-loved over the years. There are many mature herbaceous and perennial plants surrounding good sized lawns. To one side is a vegetable patch and hexagonal greenhouse.

To the front of the house there is ample driveway parking and a useful double car port, built of stone with a tiled roof. To the rear of the building is an oil tank.
