ABOUT THIS HOUSE

O

riginally part of Hosehill Farm, The Granary is a wonderfully private and tranquil oasis with magnificent views over the simply stunning gardens and views beyond of Hosehill Lake. Located at the end of a long

and private gravelled driveway, there is a courtyard comprising the main house, Barn annexe, car port and garaging and additional annexe building. There is an enchanted feeling of being ensconced away in a secluded and sophisticated world of its own and this is only magnified by walking from the courtyard through the arched gateway and into the magnificent gardens with breath taking views of the lake. This is a truly special and rare position that needs to be seen to be believed.
