Surrounded by nature and rolling fields, The Granary is a beautiful, 2115 sq ft sophisticated 3/4 bedroom sandstone Grade II barn conversion, one of only four luxury homes within the exclusive East Thirston Farm Steadings. The key to this modern home's palpable sense of history is its authentic materials, elegant sandstone exterior, traditional slate tile roof, stone flagged flooring, exposed brick work, solid oak joinery and handsome architecture. The Granary's interior is styled with touches of contemporary opulence, which lift the earthy architecture of this incredibly skilfully built home.

4 Bedrooms 4 Bathrooms 2 Reception rooms 7 Miles Single detached garage, private block paved driveway Beautifully landscaped gardens to the front, side and rear

The Granary is a 2115 sq ft  3/4 bedroom, luxurious and exquisitely designed Grade II, two storey barn conversion in the heart of the Northumberland countryside, less than 2 miles north from the village of Felton and only 11 miles from the market towns of Alnwick and Morpeth respectively. Being one of only four properties in a private farm steading, just off a country road, this home is a place to enjoy an unexpected oasis of peace and privacy. The property provides a real feeling of timeless luxury.

Every space has been given a lot of love and attention. You can feel it the minute you step into the house. The downstairs spaces are perfect for throwing a party as the large living room offers plenty of room for dinner guests and get-togethers. The rear elevation is set against a back drop of rolling hills and dreamy countryside vistas. The entire design of this property is contemporary but has an utmost respect for tradition. The builder, as well as the owner, has managed to unite the humble and the high-end, with the way this stylish home features a mix of country charm and contemporary interior design.

Recently further improved (hard to do with such a lovely home) with a re-fitted luxury kitchen, utility room, en-suite and other tweaks make The Granary a property truly worthy of the statement ‘ready to move into’.

The Granary is a property that won’t fail to impress even the most discerning of buyers. The exceptional quality of the build and attention to detail combined with the beautiful interior styling of this country chic bolt-hole makes for the ultimate escape to the country. The fact that the entire property has been decorated with designer wallpaper and paint, means you have an oasis of style to move straight into.

The Granary is accessed from a lane and then through an electric five bar country gate onto a private block paved driveway, where there is ample to room to park several cars. The driveway has lighting along the sides and the five bar gate has lighting to the lane. There is also a single garage to the rear of the property and accessed from the other driveway.

What Propology love about The Granary and East Thirston:

There is a wonderful flow in this home and the contemporary finishes add to the luxurious feel. We love the new stunning bespoke kitchen and open-plan living room and dining area, which offset the property’s grandeur with a homely, characterful edge; and we love the spa-style bathrooms too! We really like the fact that the property has a carefully considered mix of materials too, which includes everything from classic sandstone, stone slate roof tiles, solid oak, stone flooring and timber beams and trusses. The beautifully landscaped garden is somewhere we would love to sit out in whilst enjoying the picturesque views, and with the westerly aspect you’ll be able to admire the sunsets in peace and quiet with just the sounds of the evening wildlife in the distance. This is a property to make your home and create lifelong memories with family and friends.

The location of The Granary puts a huge tick in the location box being less than 2 miles away from Felton where you can pop to The Running Fox to get your morning loaf of bread or sample one of the best afternoon teas you will ever have!
