A stunning refurbishment of a Georgian house with adjacent two bedroom barn conversion

Description

Granborough House offers a rare blend of Georgian grandeur and contemporary luxury, having been the subject of a meticulous refurbishment in 2019. Formerly the home of the Duke of Bedford’s falconer, Granborough House is situated next to The Falconry, a once-separate barn-conversion which now serves as a charming 2-bedroom annexe. The overall plot is about 0.59 acres and includes an impressive frontage set behind electric gates.

The home showcases many original features, including exposed sand blasted beams and timber framework, some using salvaged ship timbers, while offering the comfort of modern living with features such as underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and a built-in Sonos speaker system.

The ground floor features elegant living spaces, including a large kitchen/breakfast/dining room fitted with a high-end Stoves range cooker, an integrated dishwasher and microwave, and pop-up plug points in the kitchen island. Adjacent to the kitchen is a pantry and a versatile playroom/
study, offering a dynamic family space where children can play or do homework while remaining close to the heart of the home. This thoughtful layout allows for both supervision and family
interaction. A snug provides a cosy retreat with a Stovax wood-burning stove, while the utility and boot room offer practical spaces for family life.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite features a vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom finished with Italian marble. Three further double bedrooms and two additional bathrooms complete the upper floors. Secondary glazing throughout the first floor ensures warmth and energy efficiency, while extra storage space has been cleverly hidden in the walls of the landing, ensuring a functional space that maintains the property’s period charm. Exposed brick infilled timber frame on the first floor landing adds to the charm.

The Falconry is a charming and characterful barn conversion,
once used to house the falconer’s birds. Located next to Granborough House with its own entrance, separate garden, and extensive storage space, it’s ideal for extended family, guests, or even potentially as a rental property. The annexe retains it's character with solid oak floors, original beams, an original ladder into the loft, and a vaulted ceiling in the main living area. The current owners have added a side extension, which serves as an entrance porch and utility, as well as an additional bathroom, while the the principal bedroom provides a larger space with a walk-in wardrobe area and an en-suite bathroom. Planning permission has lapsed for a rear conservatory to be built (reinforced concrete foundations have already been laid) and a mezzanine floor to be installed above the kitchen.
