FEEL AT HOME: The Granary in Blackcliffe Farm Mews, Bradmore, is warm and welcoming. Central to the accommodation is
the dining room with its floor to ceiling windows thatwould once,in the building’shistory,havebeen the barndoor. Theopen gallery aboveinjects light
into the first floor bedrooms. Thedining room is at the heartof
the accommodation with the kitchen and, in turn, the utility room leading off. While this arrangement works well, it also offers the opportunity for futureowners to open up to space and create an open kitchen and dining arrangement if that suits their life- style. Thekitchen is fitted with a rangeof
Shaker style units with wood work surfaces as well as appliances in- cluding an integral dishwasher,oven and grill, four-ring gashob and an integral freezer. There’salso space for afridge/ freezer. The utility room has free standing shelving, plumbing for a washing ma-
dining room
chine and space for a tumble dryer. Themixtureoforiginal features
blends beautifully with modernad- ditions within this Grade Two-listed barnconversion and it is surprising just how the exterior of the building and its surroundings have remained unchanged. Afriend of the owner and former
tenant farmer of neighbouring farm land told me thatthis farm and its outbuildings had been farmed by the Bagley family. He remembers that therehad once
been sevenfarms in the village – sadly none remain. He said thatthe building arrange-
ment of the former Blackcliffe Farm had changed little over the years – their conversion into residential dwellings keeping the integrity of the original buildings while providing practical living space. He said the Granary was formerly used forthe storage of animal food
stuff, today it creates a welcoming family home. First floor accommodation is ac-
cessed from a staircase in the en- trance hallway (thereis aground floor cloakroom here). All bedrooms aregood sizes,have
shuttered windows and areaccessed from the galleried landing. Themaster bedroom has the ad-
dition of a refitted and rearranged en suite shower room with underfloor heating as well as a separate dressing room with fitted wardrobes. Thefamily bathroom has abath
with shower hand attachment, WC, wash basin and towel radiator. Outside, the garden is described by
theowner as: “Big enough for garden- ers and has the scope to be further enhanced, and yet is easilymain- tained.” Thegarden is sectioned into a
series of “rooms” and as suchis ideal for catering forchildren playing,
