Description
One of two spectacular properties that have been created out of the conversion of this iconic local building encompassing many original features with bespoke high-end fittings throughout and offering homes with accommodation circa 5365 sqft and 4782 sqft plus amazing garden room, garage and carports.
The former offices of grain merchant Campbell and Penty, this iconic Victorian Workhouse has been sympathetically restored to exemplary standards to create two spectacular dwellings. The internal structure has been retained with the original features such as brick arches, daylight tunnels, and high ceilings throughout. These features have been beautifully complemented with a high-end build quality, rarely seen today.
Features of note include the ground floors of both properties feature hardwearing Ostuni Grey antique tumbled limestone tiles in the kitchen and boot room areas. Reclaimed engineered wooden floors have been used in the living areas to complement this elegant floor aesthetic throughout.
The bespoke kitchen, bathrooms and utility areas are of the highest standard. A mix of painted Shaker style and timber cabinets creates a standout focal point within their respective areas. Reclaimed timber clad hallways and feature bedroom walls further enhance the aesthetic of these stunning properties. The upstairs floor covering features a mix of timer and carpet, creating a unique space at every turn.
The main house and ensuite bathrooms are truly stunning. These spaces are an absolute pleasure to walk into, finished to the highest standard with a brilliant balance of colour and design. The outside space is the icing on the cake, a low-maintenance back garden, complemented at the front with a jaw-dropping garden room, garage and carport. This high-quality space is an extension of both properties, offering a truly remarkable living experience.
The Old Grain House
Entrance door leads to reception hall/boot room with bespoke fitted storage cupboards encapsulating the whole wall, stone flag flooring with underfloor heading throughout the whole of ground floor, hallway leading to inner hall with timber panelling to walls and exposed brick archway leading to amazing open plan living-dining-kitchen with feature stone fire surround and hearth inset wood burning stove, fabulous bespoke kitchen with arched storage built into the walls creating an individual storage area, perfect for coffee making facilities etc. The kitchen itself is from the Main Pine Company and encompasses a wide range of wall and floor mounted units, both timber and glazed. Large central island with attractive marble top and inset sink unit with Quooker tap, timber breakfast bar area with additional storage, fantastic larder unit with integrated Fisher Paykel large fridge/freezer, stunning Aga with extractor over. A door leads from the rear of the kitchen-living area to a fantastic westerly facing patio, this enables prospective purchasers to enjoy evening alfresco dining.
To the opposite side of the living-dining-kitchen is the stunning sitting room with Victorian style panelling to the walls and timber flooring. Further along the hallway is the next reception room which could be an office or playroom, again with beautiful timber flooring and underfloor heating, cloakroom/wc with high-flush wc and elegant wash-hand basin with marble top and splashback, utility room with floor mounted appliance cupboards with marble worktop over and delightful copper sink with matching mixer taps. To the end of the corridor is a further room, multi-functional but would be perfect as an office/study. To the rear of the hall a doorway leads to the rear entrance hall and back door. The plant room is found to the rear of the property and houses the manifolds for the underfloor heating and boiler.
The staircase is a particular feature of both properties, being the original staircase from the workhouse and the Campbell and Penty offices. On the half landing is a useful storage cupboard. The main landing is truly spectacular. There are brick feature arches and stunning roof light add to the wonderful nature of the property.
The main bedroom suite is found to the right at the top of the staircase, this stunning room has exposed beam ceiling, panelling to one wall and windows overlooking the garden. There is a fabulous ensuite shower room off, with timber Parquet flooring, amazing Jade coloured tiles, shower cubicle with bronzed Crittall effect screen, circular wash-hand basin set in huge timber vanity unit, all enhanced with bronzed heated towel rail.
There is a guest bedroom with further stunning ensuite shower room and three further large double bedrooms. The house bathroom is truly spectacular with free-standing slipper bath, separate shower cubicle with Crittall effect panelling on the site, double wash-hand basins set in pretty vanity unit. A feature has been made of the original exposed brick walls and beams to ceiling. This is truly luxurious.
Outside
The property is approached via gravelled driveway and leads to a double oak-framed car-port and single garage. The centre of this building is a major selling feature being the additional garden room space with oak-framed porch. This is multi-functional and could be used as an entertaining area with bar/barbeque cooking facilities but could equally be utilised as a gym or for those wanting to work from home. From the garden room, a large paved patio provides an area for seating an entertaining and stone steps lead up to a block paved path that curves through the lawned garden area to the front door. There is attractive Laurel screening and fencing to the sides. To the rear of the property is the aforementioned westerly facing paved patio with gravelled area, raised beds and mature planning to the rear.
