The Property

South Barn is an impressive detached Grade II Listed barn conversion, thoughtfully converted by the current owners to create a substantial and highly individual family home. Constructed of attractive Cradley stone with timber detailing, the property forms part of a small and attractive collection of converted barns and the original farmhouse.

Approached along a shared driveway, South Barn enjoys an excellent degree of privacy and is accessed via double timber gates opening onto a generous gravel driveway providing extensive parking.

Positioned adjacent to the driveway is a substantial range of useful outbuildings beneath a pitched tiled roof, incorporating three open bays together with two enclosed bays fitted with light and power, offering excellent storage and versatility.

Stone cobbles lead to the hardwood entrance door opening into a welcoming reception hall with attractive tiled flooring. The accommodation benefits from oil fired central heating and wooden double glazed casement windows and extends to in excess of 3700 sq ft across two floors. Full fibre high speed broadband is available at the property, supporting seamless remote working and contemporary lifestyles.

The property beautifully captures the character and individuality expected of a barn conversion of this calibre, with exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and original architectural features combining effortlessly with practical family living.

The reception hall provides access to a cloakroom and boiler room before leading into a dual aspect reception room/office, offering a flexible and versatile space suitable for a variety of uses.

The principal sitting room is a wonderfully spacious through room centred around an attractive wood burning stove set within a stone fireplace and tiled hearth, creating a warm focal point. Exposed timbers continue throughout the room, reinforcing the barn's charm and character.

The formal dining room/family room features exposed stonework and provides an excellent setting for entertaining and family gatherings.

An inner hallway creates a striking central feature of the home, flooded with natural light through impressive glazed barn doors opening onto the patio and complemented by a magnificent vaulted ceiling which creates a wonderful sense of openness. Beyond, beautiful south facing views unfold over the gardens and towards the Malvern Hills and May Hill.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and storage cupboards together with an oil fired Range Cooker and space for additional appliances. This is complemented by a practical utility room.

Positioned at the far end of the property, the breakfast room enjoys triangular glazing to the south facing aspect, perfectly framing the outstanding rural views and creating an ideal everyday living space. There is access onto a west facing patio.

To the first floor, a wide staircase rises from the inner hallway to an impressive galleried landing with vaulted ceilings and exposed original timbers, including the historic crook beams of the original barn.

Arranged around the landing are a collection of generously proportioned double bedrooms, all designed to take advantage of the exceptional south facing views across the formal gardens towards British Camp and the Malvern Hills beyond.

The principal suite offers a spacious bedroom complete with dressing area and en-suite facilities.

A guest bedroom at the far end of the house also benefits from its own en-suite, whilst two further double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The property further benefits from excellent storage provision throughout, both internally and externally.

The Grounds

The gardens at South Barn are a particular feature of the property and lie predominantly to the rear, enjoying a desirable southerly aspect and taking full advantage of the exceptional views.

Extending directly from the property is a generous patio area providing an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the tranquillity of the setting. Lawns extend beyond, interspersed with beautifully planted borders and beds displaying colour and interest throughout the seasons.

Stone steps descend to the principal lawn, enclosed by established hedging and perfectly positioned to enjoy the far reaching countryside vistas.

The gardens incorporate a variety of mature trees including Silver Birch and fruit trees, together with an ornamental pond and attractive water feature flowing towards a larger sunken pond.

To the eastern side of the property is an additional patio area accessed from the breakfast room. Beyond lies a formerly productive enclosed ornamental garden featuring miniature Italian style hedging and established planting.
