About The Granary
The Granary is a first-floor barn conversion on a remote fen farmstead near the conservation village of Dunsby in Lincolnshire, with, literally, no neighbours for miles apart from the owners. It sleeps four in two bedrooms, holds a three-star rating with a Gold award, and was converted with a deliberate eco policy: generous insulation, re-used original materials, carefully chosen new ones and photovoltaic panels on the workshop roof that generate more than the flat uses.
Original stone steps outside take you up to the front door and into a large entrance hall, with one door to the fully tiled shower room and another to the living area. That living space has sealed real wood floorboards and a double-height ceiling with original beams. Two windows give spectacular views over farmland to distant hills, and two more look across the large garden and the wildlife pond. The lounge area has two sofas, a coffee table and a television with DVD, and a snug alcove holds another sofa and a feature stove for candles. The kitchen has custom-built units and an old baker's dresser that works as a room divider, with a large pine table and four chairs in the dining area.
The two bedrooms lead off the far side of the living area, one a double and the other twin beds that zip-link into a king-size; both have fitted carpets, wardrobes and blackout-lined curtains for holiday lie-ins. Beds are made up with duvets appropriate to the season, with extra throws and pillows in the lounge cupboard along with a stack of fluffy towels.
Outside are large mature gardens with a patio, furniture, a pond, croquet, an orchard where you can pick fruit and a birdwatching area, plus parking for two cars. The setting is quiet enough that barn owls and kestrels hunt the neighbouring uncultivated fields, with Canada geese and mallards on the ponds and badgers, deer, hares and the occasional fox about; the fen sky makes for remarkable sunsets, and the pink light floods into the flat. There is also a rare two-seater Lincolnshire privy on the property for the curious. The owners are qualified ESOL teachers and offer English lessons for overseas visitors. Bourne, a market town with supermarkets and restaurants, is about ten minutes' drive and Peterborough under an hour, with London an hour further by train. Belton House, Burghley House, Grimsthorpe Castle, Easton Walled Gardens, Woolsthorpe Manor, Barnsdale Gardens and Stamford are all within reach, and the Fens, the Wolds and the coast give three distinct landscapes close at hand.
