Outside, the sunny garden is very well established and benefits several mature trees including some rare specimens. “The foxglove trees are very rare and produce an incredible display of colourful blossom in spring that overpowers even the wisteria clambering up the back of the house!” we are told. Canadian maples feature around the large, gravelled front drive, along with lavender bushes and many more trees and shrubs. “There are big peonies and climbing roses – loads of colour in spring and summer – all well established and very beautiful,” they say. A five-bar gate at the back of the drive – and a timber door in the wall – lead to an open-fronted garage for three vehicles. At present this makes an excellent games area with plenty of space for a pool table and a ping pong table. The walled garden behind the property is very private. “It’s an oasis for birds and wildlife; we see pheasants, deer, red kites circling above, swallows nesting in the games room, and there is every bird you might imagine. It’s also been a wonderful home for my old bantam hens!” says one of the owners. “The back door opens onto a farm track where you can enjoy fantastic walks – I go over the railway and let the dogs off the lead and they can run for miles; the property really is a little gem.”

The Granary is in a superb location for schools with Deeping St.
