The Potting Shed details
Taking inspiration from its former use, the design scheme weaves in gentle nods to its heritage with white washed walls and quirky features, but with all the home comforts you would expect.
Entering the property through large glazed doors, the open plan living space features a hi-spec kitchen, wood burning stove, sheep skin rugs and a comfy sofa. The large bedroom has a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a bath made for two, heated floors, twin sinks and soft lighting. A secret door from the grounds leads into the historic walled garden with direct access to your very own entrance to the Granary Grill for you to explore and enjoy at your leisure.
If you don’t feel like cooking, the Granary Grill is based around an open plan kitchen and grill and seasonally inspired menus which are created by Head Chef and his brigade. The Grill serves lunch daily and dinner from Wednesday through to Saturday. Over in the Granary Deli you will find fresh bread, quality cheeses, cured meats, homemade cakes and savoury pastries, oils, vinegars, jams and chutneys plus some very special ingredients that you won’t find in the supermarkets. The team in our 1767 Granary Grill & Deli will also prepare your welcome hamper which will include milk, butter, eggs, cheese, biscuits, freshly baked bread and a bottle of wine – all of which are sourced from the food heroes who we work with both locally and further afield.
