THE BARNSThe Barns is a stunning conversion, situated in the pretty village of Gringley on the Hill. The present owner lived in the village and had seen the two dilapidated, old barns, and thought they would make a fantastic conversion project for her. Six months later the property came onto the market, The Barns was purchased and the meticulous restoration began. Today, it is an impressive family home with a luxury of space, and a relaxed sophistication that is perfect for both living and entertaining.

Seller Insight Gringley on the Hill is a friendly village and the ideal environment for a young family. There is a good primary school

and a thriving community centre which offers a wide range of clubs and societies. The village is conveniently situated between the market town of Bawtry, with an eclectic choice of boutiques and restaurants, and Gainsborough, home to Marshalls Yard Shopping Centre and Gainsborough Old Hall, a medieval manor house open to the public which has welcomed such famous visitors as Henry VIII.

The old storage barns had been unoccupied for many years, but the present owner realised the vast potential to create large open spaces conducive to family life. And the layout of this special house has been designed with loving attention to every area.

The entire home has a light and warm atmosphere. The three main living areas of kitchen, sitting and dining rooms are generous, inviting open plan spaces. The magnificent sitting room has a definite wow factor. The beams, exposed brickwork, wood burner, galleried overhang, high ceiling and windows that allow the room to be drenched in natural light, combine to form a chic room for both complete relaxation and formal entertaining. The double aspect offers views to the quiet front lane and fields where horses graze contentedly, or beautiful countryside panoramas to the rear.

The second barn has not been needed by the present owner. However it is a blank and adaptable canvas that waits to be transformed into an independent living space or extension to the house. It has been restored to make it weather proof and secure, and for the family it is the perfect party venue. It has been the setting for a wedding and a memorable New Years Eve party.

The aspect from the garden: The garden is a tranquil oasis, where the lawn, gently fringed with trees, stretches away from the house, before giving way to superb views across the surrounding countryside. It is a pleasure to sit on the various patios, and enjoy an al fresco meal and drink in the charm of your surroundings.*



The well equipped kitchen is the busy daily hub of the home. It is where family and friends gather for informal

meals or relax in the comfortable chairs. The dining area is found in the glazed area between the two barns, and the reception hall is also a place to sit and play the grand piano. It is a calm, yet sophisticated setting.



The staircase is in the dining area, and leads up to the bedrooms, which have the same charm as reception rooms. The master bedroom suite with dressing area and en suite is a private adult sanctuary, with the

remaining four rooms at the other end of the barn.


The time has come for the owner to downsize but she takes away very happy memories of fifteen years at The Barns. It is an unconventional but exquisite home that has provided a

superb living experience.
