The Granary – A Landmark Home in the Heart of Whiteparish with Versatile Living & Income Potential

The Interior

The main residence offers a warm and inviting blend of traditional craftsmanship and intelligent design, with approximately 3,000 sqft of internal space (excluding outbuildings). Through oak double doors, you’re welcomed into a spacious central reception hall with tiled flooring, creating a grand yet homely introduction to the property.

The formal Drawing Room flows seamlessly into an impressive Conservatory, a beautifully light-filled dining area with garden views, perfect for hosting larger gatherings. The Sitting Room offers a more intimate retreat, featuring exposed brick and oak panelling that adds character and warmth. At the heart of the home is the expansive Kitchen/Breakfast Room, fitted with bespoke painted oak units, Corian worktops, a sociable built-in dining bench, and a comprehensive range of appliances including a range-style cooker, integrated microwave, fridge, and dishwasher. Adjoining this space is the stunning David Salisbury-designed Orangery—a tranquil, sunlit room that opens directly onto the private garden terrace, ideal for morning coffee or evening entertaining.

A spacious Family Room sits adjacent, offering flexibility for everyday living, while a Utility Room and cloakroom complete the main ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, a generous galleried landing leads to three beautifully appointed double bedrooms. The Primary Suiteis a luxurious retreat with a large bedroom, dedicated Dressing Room, and an en-suite shower room. The Second Bedroom also benefits from en-suite facilities and built-in storage, while the Third Bedroom is served by a luxury Family Bathroom with freestanding bath and modern finishes.

The Tithe Barn, Barn Cottage & Annexe

Beyond the main house lies the restored Tithe Barn—a truly awe-inspiring structure with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams, and a cathedral-like ambience. This remarkable space has previously hosted musical performances and charity events, and includes a substantial office/workshop area with mezzanine level—making it suitable for creative or commercial pursuits (subject to consent). Lapsed planning permission once allowed for part-residential use, offering yet more potential for the future.

To one side, the charming Barn Cottage provides fully self-contained living with its own private walled garden and driveway. The accommodation comprises a cosy Sitting Room, Conservatory (featuring an original well), spacious Kitchen/Breakfast Room, two double bedrooms, and a modern bathroom—ideal for guests, rental, or multigenerational living. There's also a Utility Room and Cloakroom, providing practical day-to-day comfort.

A third living space—the Annexe—completes the offering. Constructed in green oak with floor-to-ceiling windows, this stylish studio includes a Living/Bedroom Area, oak Kitchenette, and sleek Wet Room, making it an inviting and versatile addition to the property.

The Garden & Frontage

Approached through electric gates framed by traditional brick and flint walls, the sweeping gravel drive leads you past manicured borders and lawns, with a central fountain adding a touch of grandeur. To the side, a former cart barn offers ample storage and parking options, including a stable, making the grounds perfect for equestrian or outdoor pursuits.

The gardens are a true sanctuary. Landscaped with care and attention, spacious lawns and vibrant planting schemes flow around the home, culminating in a secluded sun-trap terrace accessed via the orangery. A fantastic party barn—once another cart barn—has been transformed into an all-weather entertaining space, ideal for summer soirées, festive celebrations, or quiet evenings under the stars.

Every inch of the outside space reflects the same quality and character found within the main home—offering a peaceful, private setting with year-round appeal. Adjacent to the home is a three quarter acre paddock enclosed by post and rail fencing with separate field shelters.
