The GranaryThis stunning, newly converted, stone-built farm building is located in the sought-after village of Newland, which is well known for its prominent church, often referred to as ‘the cathedral of the forest’.

“The Granary was one of several farm buildings in the village, including a farmhouse, which had been in the same family for generations and had eventually fallen to wrack and ruin,” explains Dave. “Another barn and the farmhouse were sold separately for renovation and, eventually, I and two neighbours formed a development company and bought The Granary outright with a view to doing the same. Our intent was somewhat altruistic as we just wanted to see the building become an attractive element in the village environment once more.”

“The building had been a granary and a mill and, in the first place, we had to apply for conversion to residential use,” continues Barrie. “The project was then one of reconstruction rather than just renovation as the walling had to be rebuilt and the whole structure re-roofed. However, this did enable us to ensure a high standard of insulation and facilities. We wanted to create a ‘21st Century’ family home with an emphasis on functionality, which was also finished to a high standard. So the bespoke oak-framed windows are triple-glazed and the doors are all solid, engineered oak. All bathrooms and the entire ground floor have under-floor heating; the reception wing, which includes a large living room and a family or dining room, has polished oak flooring, while the wing comprising the dining kitchen and utility room has limestone flooring. The four bedrooms are carpeted.”

“Exposed ceiling beams are a feature throughout, while the living room also has a feature fireplace with a wood-burner,” elaborates Ian. “The living room has French doors opening to the south-facing sunken rear terrace, which can also be accessed by external stone steps from the en suite master bedroom. The dining kitchen is a large open plan space with a walk-in pantry and an adjoining cloakroom and a utility room; integrated appliances include a Rangemaster range cooker. Upstairs, a second bedroom has en suite facilities, while two more share a four piece family bathroom.”

“Outside, steps lead up from the rear terrace to an enclosed area of lawn from which further steps drop to a front terrace, a large lawn and a parking area,” adds Dave. “There’s scope to develop a lovely garden and there’s space to build a carport or garage, subject to consent.”

“Newland is a delightful village,” concludes Barrie. “The church is such a landmark that it often features in published walks of the area and is host to all kinds of concerts and theatrical events, while the village hall is home to a variety of clubs and societies. The Ostrich pub has a renowned restaurant and is run by the Good Pub Guide’s “Licensee of the Year 2016”. Neighbouring Redbrook has a primary school, while Coleford and Monmouth offer excellent retail facilities and a range of schools, including Haberdashers’ Monmouth. We feel the Granary is ideally placed to make a lovely family home.”*
