1 Grange Barns is an exceptional barn conversion, offering large, light, and spacious family sized accommodation, with many period features. This attractive mellow red barn is well designed, providing flexible living arranged over two floors, with scope for further extension into the abutting garaging, subject to the necessary consents.
The large galleried entrance hall sets the scene for this contemporary house, with a sublime mix of modern fittings, balanced seamlessly with quality period features. Black brick flooring throughout the hall is complimented by the timber beamed ceiling, whilst the large arch topped picture window to the rear, floods the area with natural light.
From the hall, the property opens to a wonderful, newly fitted bespoke “Rempp Küchen” kitchen with a full range of wall and floor units with resin work top and substantial central breakfast island. Finished with stainless steel Smeg range cooker, Hotpoint dishwasher and fridge, and designer mixer tap with filtered water feature. Dual aspect doors provide the opportunity for alfresco dining to both the front and rear gardens.
Beyond the breakfast kitchen, bedroom four currently doubles as a gym and benefits from a separate WC. Bedroom three is a good size double, located on the ground floor directly from the entrance hall, with ensuite shower room.
A wide set, painted wooded staircase leads to the generous landing, lit to the front by an arched topped window, affording far reaching views of the gardens and countryside beyond.
The length of the first floor is open to the eaves with exposed trusses and beams, showcasing exposed brick walls and timber detailing. A mixture of large picture and portal windows flood the area with light, creating a feeling of space and grandeur.
Traditional features continue into the sitting room, with log burning stove and statement fireplace surround, painted wooden floors and triple aspect windows.
The principal suite is well proportioned with fitted wardrobes leading to a dressing area, with delightful ensuite bathroom off, including full size bath and shower over. Bedroom two is located on the first floor with additional ensuite shower room, completing the ample accommodation.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
An impressive tarmacdum shared entrance drive leads to a private parking and turning area for several cars. The double garage and outbuilding to the side housing the further single garage.
Externally, the high evergreen hedge with solid wooden double gates leads to the front of the property. This elevation has a wide stone flagged terrace with alfresco dining area, accessed off the kitchen. A stone path leads under a wisteria adorned arch with herbaceous beds to either side, with path leading to two areas of interest. The first, a semicircular walk with clematis and rose arches, further flower boarders enclosed by yew hedging. The second, a large gravelled and stone alfresco dining space, overlooked by an attractive rose and passionflower festooned sandstone gazebo, with wooden seating.
The gazebo overlooks the potting shed and further enclosed courtyard, housing fruit trees, vegetable, and herb gardens. To the side of the formal gardens lay a large area of lawn with greenhouse, enclosed by hedging. Tucked away from view is the netted hard tennis court, overlooked by a walled seating area. A number of mature fruit trees can be found beyond the orchard providing a variety of apple and plums and an established edible fig tree in the courtyard.
Beyond the garden, the paddock is accessed via the main drive, with the large outbuilding located separately at the end of the private track. This outbuilding has power and light, serving as a great office space with additional integral garage, providing scope for an annexe, subject to the necessary consents being obtained. Next to the outbuilding is a timber chicken shed, with further storage and attached log store. Contained within the paddock are two timber outbuildings.
LOCATION
1 Grange Barns is one of four exclusive barn conversions, with number 1 being at the rear of the courtyard, located at the end of the no-through drive. Woodseaves is an idyllic hamlet with a post office and primary school, as well as several public houses close by. The village lies close to the popular market town of Market Drayton which is flanked by calm waterways and rolling farmland. Market Drayton is a buzzy North Shropshire town on the banks of the River Tern with – as the name suggests – a strong tradition of markets. The Wednesday market dates to 1245, having originally been established by the Abbot of Combermere as a place to sell the abbey’s produce. Nowadays, the lively street and indoor market attract shoppers from all over the region. The town’s indoor Market Hall also hosts a weekly Saturday market, there is a monthly artisan market held around the historic Buttercross in Cheshire Street and even an annual “floating market” in summer at Talbot Wharf on the Shropshire Union Canal.
Market Drayton is also known as the home of gingerbread – in the early part of the 20th century, there were four gingerbread bakers in the town. Billington’s Gingerbread still makes and sells spicy gingerbread fingers to a closely guarded recipe.
Additionally, larger towns such as Shrewsbury and Whitchurch are located within an easy drive, offering a wider array of amenities and a number of well-regarded schools in the state and private sector. The house offers very good road links, via the nearby A529, A41, the M54 and M6/M5, for commuting in any direction.
Train services are available at Prees, Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford, Telford, Shrewsbury and Crewe, with links to Chester, Wolverhampton and Birmingham. There is also direct trains to London Euston from Stoke-on-Trent or Stafford in under an hour and a half. Airports are at Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and East Midlands.
