Location:
The Granary is around four miles from Ross-on-Wye, a popular market town. The high street features an assortment of supermarkets, reputable schools, shops, independently owned boutiques, a range of restaurants, welcoming pubs and various leisure facilities.
The village of Glewstone itself includes the esteemed Glewstone Court Country House which houses a two Rosette-award restaurant. Another extremely well-regarded eatery, The New Inn at St Owen's Cross is two miles away. In 2023, the restaurant was awarded three AA Rosettes for Culinary Excellence and named the Best Restaurant with Rooms England 2023-2024 at the prestigious AA Hospitality Awards.
The Granary is also close to a series of major road networks; the A40 is around half a mile away and the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. Meanwhile, motorists heading in the opposite direction can journey towards the M4 at Newport which gives access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross, and this gives good access to the M5.
The home at a glance:
This beautifully presented barn is tucked away in a tranquil corner of the countryside. The home boasts far-reaching views of rolling farmland and exhibits unspoiled vistas across Much Marcle, Ross-on-Wye, May Hill and The Doward hills - but a network of main roads is easy to reach.
The main entrance to the residence leads into an expansive, dual-aspect sitting room. On one side, there is a wood burning stove which gives a delightfully cosy ambient warmth during the colder months. On the opposite side, a cased opening leads through into the substantial, dual-aspect fitted kitchen which includes plenty of neutral-coloured floor and eye-level units, a fan oven and ceramic hob with extractor fan, space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine, space for an under-counter fridge and a recently-fitted Worcester combi-boiler.
A set of glass doors at the far end of the sitting room leads into a rear hallway - which gives access to a cloakroom on the left, a staircase on the right and the conservatory at the far end. In October 2022, a thermal insulated solid roof was put on, keeping the room warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The space exhibits magnificent views beautifully and is large enough to serve as both a dining room and a snug.
The first floor of the property is split in a wonderfully quirky layout - and all three double bedrooms are found on this level. They each contain vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and Velux windows, making them feel tremendously bright and airy.
The staircase in the rear hallway leads to two of the bedrooms and this splits off into two forks. The left leads to a dual-aspect double bedroom which carries a splendid view over the surrounding rural scenery as well as an en-suite shower room. The right-hand fork leads to the master bedroom and this room has an en-suite bathroom - complete with a four-piece white suite. In the right-hand corner there is a little door - nicknamed the "hobbit hole" which gives easy access into the third bedroom.
This third bedroom is also accessible from a spiral staircase in the sitting room. This staircase leads to a galleried landing which presently serves as an office space. The third bedroom boasts a built-in wardrobe and the flue for the wood burning stove runs through the room, so it captures the warmth.
The outside space:
Outside the front of the home, there is a suntrap courtyard. A wooden deck is surrounded by a close-board fence, giving total privacy, therefore the area lends itself perfectly to an outdoor lounging space.
The garden - encompassing a patio and lawn - wraps around the side and rear of the property. The side area is south facing, so the garden enjoys views of both sunrise and sunset over the spellbinding surroundings. Beyond the garden, there is a small paddock, which is the ideal size to keep a couple of animals.
In terms of parking, there is plenty of room on the driveway to park several vehicles. The breezeblock carport - which is adorned with timber cladding - has a lockable workshop on the side and a boarded loft, giving a wealth of storage space.
