The Old Stackyard — The Old Stackyard

Set within a discreet and private position in the charming hamlet of Pilsgate, this beautifully appointed stone-built home, known as Granary Cottage, is offered to the market with no onward chain. One of five exclusive barn conversions created in 2006 from a former farmyard, the property offers predominantly single-storey accommodation, blending rustic character with modern comforts to create a peaceful and highly practical countryside retreat. The majority of the living space is arranged on the ground floor, making the home particularly appealing to those seeking the ease and convenience of lateral living, with the added benefit of a first-floor suite providing flexibility and privacy when required. The home is approached via a glazed sunroom; this versatile, light-filled space is currently used as a reading area and provides an inviting introduction to the property and a tranquil spot to enjoy all year-round. This leads seamlessly into the beautifully appointed kitchen, finished with granite worktops and equipped with high-quality integrated appliances including twin Neff ovens, a Miele dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and gas hob. There is ample space for a breakfast table, and a practical adjoining utility room which is flooded with natural light from Velux windows. An airing cupboard and gas boiler are accessed off the kitchen. Another door accesses the utility room with a door directly leading to the double garage with a electrically operated door. The principal sitting room is a particularly inviting ground-floor space, featuring exposed stone walls and a characterful brick inglenook fireplace housing a gas-fired log burner. French doors open directly onto the garden, while overhead Velux windows ensure the room is filled with natural light throughout the day. From the inner hall, two well-proportioned ground-floor bedrooms are accessed, including a double guest bedroom with contemporary en suite shower room, extended in 2014 and benefitting from underfloor heatin
