The Watkins House

The Home

Off the beaten path in Northern Granville County stands a majestic farmhouse. Built in the 1800s, this home has stood the test of time and offers an immense amount of history and elegance. The charming wrap around front porch and gorgeous stained glass transom above the front door provides a warm welcome to all visitors. This home is full of ornate details that make it unlike anything you have ever seen. The interior of the home has been remodeled to make it open and spacious while maintaining many of the original details. Many of the spaces still have the original pine wood flooring, original plaster walls and carpentry details throughout. This 4800 sqft space offers a full kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a vanity room and lots of open space downstairs to accommodate any event. 

The Land

Adding rustic charm, a mid 1800’s smokehouse featuring doors with a unique herringbone pattern stands to the north as well as a mid to late 1800s outbuilding, featuring  a front gable metal roof and a board and batten door. Massive oak trees shade the home, while rolling green fields extend to a wooded forest line. With over 18 useable acres, The Watkins House and Shadowing Oaks venue offer plenty of outdoor space for your wedding, baby shower, family reunion or corporate event.
