Exposed beams and flagged floors cannot be lost on you as you immerse yourself in this timeless, country home. The spacious, friendly hall welcomes you in; you can imagine having your coat taken from you and being offered a glass of homemade sloe gin.
Break left from the hall and you are in a large and comfortable sitting room with a roaring fire. As you wander from the hall along the flags, you will find yourself in a warm open-plan kitchen/dining room suited to family gatherings or more decadent dinner parties. The Old Granary is a magic place; supremely confident, and the master of both relaxation and sophistication.
As you reach the top of the stairs and break right or left for the bedrooms, it is evident that comfort and privacy is key, with all three bedrooms being attached to an en-suite bathroom. The one-bedroom annexe could easily be reconnected to, and be part of the main house to form a four- or five-bedroom house.
Always practical, there is a large garage with an interconnecting door that leads directly into the house. There are also multiple parking spaces on the property so that vehicles can be parked well away from prying eyes. The property itself is set well back from the main road adding an additional layer of privacy. The village of Stainton in which The Old Granary is situated, has a very friendly and helpful community, underpinned by a refurbished and very active village hall.
The property is located at the front of the village, facing south, and enjoying uninterrupted views across a rural undulating landscape. From its large attractive front garden, it's foreseeable that you might hold a substantial family gathering here, bathed in sunlight and watching the swallows fly overhead. At night you can also enjoy big dark skies from a perfect vantage point.
Barnard Castle is within striking distance if you want a lovely walk to a pub for lunch. It is an ideal location in which to raise a family with a choice of highly-rated primary and secondary schools. It's a busy place with plenty to get involved in if you are relocating here, with a choice of sporting and artistic activities. These include membership to Teesdale Operatic Society, the Choral Society, Barnard Castle Golf Club, The Castle Players Amateur Dramatics Group, U3A, The Bowes Museum and so on.
The town itself is idyllic; a market town with sublime architectural features including, but not limited to, its 14th century Grade 1 listed bridges over the River Tees, The famous Butter Market, The Bowes Museum, Egglestone Abbey and The historic Castle itself. Aswell as being served by mainstream suppliers, there is a large doctors surgery, comprehensive veterinary practice for domestic, equine and farm animals. It is home to many antique shops and artisan bakeries.
The Old Granary is 25 minutes from Darlington Station, which has ample modern-style parking, facilitating a commute to London Kings Cross. It is also just 35 minutes to Teesside International Airport. So in short, The Old Granary is an ideal place in which to raise a large family in good schools, whilst still feeling able to maintain a career. It is completely possible to achieve a good work/ family life balance, whilst you enjoy the countryside AND have the support of town amenities close by. This is a fabulous opportunity to acquire the perfect house in the perfect setting.
