THE PROPERTY The Granary is a characterful, Grade II Listed, stone barn conversion forming part of the High Waskerley Farm development. The property possesses many period features including exposed stone walls, deep window sills and feature fireplaces but its outstanding feature is the spectacular Gin Gan with its wooden beams and struts and views of the garden. Surrounded by countryside on all sides with spectacular far-reaching views, The Granary is nevertheless close to all the amenities available in Shotley Bridge. A large gravelled driveway leads up to the front of the house which has an imposing, studded, wooden front door leading into an entrance hallway with beams and exposed stone work. Oak flooring runs throughout the entire ground floor with the exception of the Gin Gan. A set of glazed double doors leads through to the sitting room. This is a room full of character and charm with beams, a stone fireplace enclosing a woodburning stove with back boiler and glazed double doors leading out to a patio and feature pond at the front of the house. A further door leads through to the spacious breakfasting kitchen which has cream wall and floor units with cream worktops. There is a double electric oven, a four ring hob with extractor hood, a microwave and a large American-style fridge freezer as well as an integrated dishwasher. There is also ample room for a table and chairs making this the ideal hub of the home. Beams complete the cosy period feel of this room. Returning to the entrance hall, glazed double doors lead into the spacious, beamed dining room with wood and tiled fireplace containing an electric fire. The spectacular Gin Gan is accessed through another set of glazed double doors. A spacious and airy room, oozing with character, the Gin Gan has the original main beam and a stunning cone-shaped structure supporting the roof. The many windows and doors provide views onto the garden areas and a large stone inglenook with unique recesses and woodburning stove adds character and atmosphere to this fabulous room. Also accessed from the entrance hall are a useful WC with a wash hand basin and a utility room/cloakroom containing a washing machine, space for tumble dryer, a range of floor and wall units and a sink. A stable door from the utility room leads out to the communal lawned courtyard at the rear of the property. The upper level of the property is reached via stairs from the entrance hall. The master bedroom is a spacious, beamed room with sloping ceiling and has built-in wardrobes and cupboard space along the entire extent of one wall. An en-suite bathroom with separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin within a vanity unit and WC completes the master suite. From the upper hallway, an exposed stone stairway ascends to another corridor on the right leading to three bedrooms, two of which provide views onto the inner courtyard. A window in the corridor provides lovely views of the garden and the countryside beyond. The accommodation is completed by a modern tiled family bathroom with a P-shaped bath and shower over, integrated wash basin and WC. Two double-doored storage cupboards (one of which is the airing cupboard) built into the hallway provide a useful storage area.

EXTERNALLY To the front of the property is a large lawned area with garden shed, a number of patios providing space to entertain, a pagoda and a garden pond with water feature. In addition there is a stone-built double garage and a handy woodstore. A large, gravelled and gated driveway provides parking for several vehicles. To the rear of the property there is a large communal lawned courtyard. There are a number of communally owned pieces of land shared between the properties included on the development. Note: There is a communal charge of 60 per month per property to cover water, emptying of septic tank, and gardener for the communal areas and a contribution to a sinking fund which has several thousand pounds accrued.
