Beautiful - Stylish - Rural - Elegant
A stunning thatched barn conversion in a lovely rural area with a fully enclosed garden and a large meadow woodland to enjoy.
The thatched Deepwell Granary is part of a stunning Grade II listed building dating from the C16th to serve the farm small holding at Deepwell.
This cottage has a private enclosed garden and there is also a large wildflower meadow and wooded garden to enjoy with campfires, hammocks, seating and a bell tent to dream away the sunny days.
Deepwell, where the owners also live, is set in the pretty vale of Buxhall. This is a magical countryside retreat.
Deepwell Granary is happy to accept dogs.
The entrance to the Granary is via the private off road car park and through to the enclosed garden with its fire pit and outside seating area.
The front door takes you into a hallway, with the luxury shower bathroom to one side and then into the main room.
Downstairs is a large double height open plan room with the original timber frame exposed, and a large floor to ceiling window with views to the garden.
The comfortable sofa faces a cosy gas flame fire - this being a sensible alternative to a wood burning one due to the ancient thatched roof :) The room forms an L shape and within that is a modern well laid out kitchen.
Leading from this beautiful and airy ground floor is an open staircase which brings you to the gallery level, containing the luxury bedroom and reading area, this overlooks the open plan area beneath and out onto the garden.
Well behaved Dogs are always welcome, please refer to this web page All About Bringing Pets for Charges, Rules and how this cottage may suit your pet.
You have your own private enclosed garden to enjoy meals, or sit beside the fire pit and relax with an evening drink, there is even a ‘cocoon’ to get into and swing from the tree in.
Just off the drive to the Granary you enter a magical two acre area of grassy woodland glades, lawns and orchard. Here you can take a stroll around, swing from trees, lie in a big hammock, or light up the fire pit and enjoy a sun downer by the pretty French table and chairs, and enjoy the views over the rolling countryside.
If you are feeling a bit more active then you can play boules, badminton or croquet as there is ample space and all equipment is supplie.
Set in the rural Vale of Buxhall, surrounded by gentle rolling hills and views across the fields; Deepwell Granary is in an area of beautiful countryside, woods and arable farmland.
There are plenty of footpaths for walking, local picturesque villages to visit and good pubs to investigate.
You can walk across the fields to The Buxhall Crown which is just 25 minutes away, for a well-earned pint and a very decent meal.
The restoration and renovation of this historic listed building was carried out by local craftsmen specialising in Historic renovation, they made use of many reclaimed materials where possible and used many traditional building methods.
The cottage has its own waste water treatment system.
The owners are keen gardeners and have lovely vegetable areas and friendly free-range chickens which help supply eggs to the guests.
The grounds are a haven for many birds and small animals and a patient guest will see a wide array of wildlife there.

After four months in lockdown this was the perfect place to spend a few days. A beautiful cottage in a lovely part of the country.
Deepwell Granary is the perfect cottage for a couple with a dog. Lovely romantic open space with lots of light from expansive windows during the day, and lights in the evening. Secure garden for the dog and lots of walks, including a pleasant walk over the fields to the pub.

We have had a lovely peaceful stay. The 6' bed is very comfortable - watch out for the deer from the bedroom window early evening. Thank you Murray & Sophie.
This luxurious cottage exceeded our expectations. It is furnished with a high level of artistic and design flair. The bed is roomy and very comfortable, and the adjoining dressing room area is an unexpected pleasurable space. The cottage is full of surprises - the private secluded garden had a fire pit which we used every evening, bringing us closer to contact with nature which we were looking for. As artists, we really appreciated the creative minds behind the development of this outstanding place.
