Property description

The Granary Barn is a fantastic barn conversion, very competitively priced in the current market and one of a number of award winning conversions completed by Carlin Construction in the 1990's. The accommodation is impeccably presented throughout having been altered and enhanced by the present owners since their own occupation, who are reluctantly selling their beautiful home.
During the property's conversion character features were retained including many original timbers and brickwork, there are natural materials including slate and oak flooring, the property has gas fired central heating and is in excellent decorative order throughout. The entrance hall features a fantastic vaulted ceiling, there is an inglenook fireplace in the large living room. The attractive first floor galleried landing features exposed timbers with a range of built in storage cupboards and leads to the master bedroom with its own ensuite. The second guest bedroom also has an ensuite and study area, there are two further bedrooms and superbly fitted family bathroom.
The property is one of a number of individual conversions within this Vale of Belvoir village. Its gardens abutt open countryside, enjoying views over adjacent field and lake. The gardens have been landscaped featuring raised timber decking and pergola, flagstone patio areas and mature shrubs and plants.

The village of Elton has a church and public house with restaurant, it lies fairly close to the A52 which provides excellent road access to the cities of Nottingham and Leicester, the A1 and M1. The neighbouring village of Orston has an excellent primary school and secondary schooling can be found in Bingham at Toothill, or in Grantham with the King's Grammar School for boys and South Kesteven Grammar School for girls.
