BREAKFAST KITCHEN - DRAWING ROOM - DINING ROOM FOUR BEDROOMS - EN-SUITE - HOUSE BATHROOM DELIGHTFUL GARDEN - GARAGE
The property occupies an ideal position for commuters. Circa 3 miles North West
of Bromsgrove it offers easy access to the M42 and M5 motorways and is a short
drive to Bromsgrove, Droitwich and Kidderminster town centres. Surrounded by
open countryside there are many beautiful walks from its doorstep.
The original barn dates back some 200 years and the charm and history has been
retained yet the sympathetic conversion and recent updating means the property
meets the modern family’s needs.
It is approached from Woodcote Lane via a private drive with a parking area and
turning area at the top. The drive passes an established landscaped tiered garden,
well stocked with a variety of mature shrubs, trees and heathers, and leads to a
further parking area, garage, a paved patio area (ideally situated to take advantage
of the sun) and a path to the front door.
Below a covered porch a partially glazed arched front door opens into a
light-filled welcoming RECEPTION HALLWAY.
Arched windows to the left and right of the matching front door ensure that the
hallway is light and airy in all seasons. Italian ceramic tiled flooring flows
through into the breakfast kitchen and downstairs cloakroom.
Magnificent BREAKFAST KITCHEN: 18’0” (max) x 14’4”
This luxurious expensively fitted Smallbone of Devises handmade kitchen is a
recent addition. There is an array of wall and base mounted units and granite
worktops; two fridges, a freezer and space for a washer dryer. It also contains
built-in top-of-the range Siemens appliances – compact oven with microwave
oven; plate warmer; main oven; extractor hood and a 90cm x 52cm induction hob
with flexible zone area. Its impressive central island comprising a Kohler
Deerfield Sink, plumbing for a dishwasher, and a lowered oak table is an
extremely efficient workspace. The kitchen incorporates the previous utility
creating a modern open plan room which meets today’s stylish needs. There is
plenty of natural light from its two arched windows and partially glazed back door
which opens onto the rear patio and garden.
Downstairs CLOAKROOM
Benefitting from the continuation of the high quality ceramic tiled floor it has a
built in low-level WC and wash hand basin.
VAULTED DRAWING ROOM: 23’5” x 18’7”
Two steps lead down into this stunning light filled room. Five arched windows,
three of which are ¾ height, face the front and back gardens and catch the sun
all day. A high gable end arched window ensures that the mid-day sun streams
in. A charming vaulted ceiling and exposed beams help create an elegant space
while retaining a cosy charm during the winter evenings.
The chic stone fireplace is a relatively new addition and is certified for use as
a conventional fire.
FORMAL DINING ROOM: 18’6” x 14’0”
This elegantly presented room has two full walls of windows with French doors
that give access to both the front and rear of the property. It is well proportioned
and ideal for entertaining.
A flight of stairs from the dining room gives access to an attractive light-filled
first floor landing. It is enhanced by arches and a wall of full-height windows
with roof lights above which face the back garden, allowing the morning sun
to bathe the area. The landing is also equipped with a bespoke built-in wardrobe.
All upstairs rooms display the original exposed beams and, with the exception of
the landing, have vaulted ceilings. An efficient mega-flow water system has been
fitted which provides high pressure fresh water throughout the property thus
eliminating the need for cold-water holding tanks.
MAIN BEDROOM: 13’8” x 10’4”
Full-height windows with roof lights above overlooking the front garden retain
the feeling of light and space. There is a very useful recess which houses bespoke
mahogany drawers.
EN-SUITE
Facing the back garden, this partially white tiled room has white sanitary ware.
It contains a built-in bath below a roof light, low-level WC, Mira shower, twin
hand basins and an airing cupboard.
BEDROOM 2: 11’7” x 8’10”
The exposed beams and vaulted ceiling add character to this charming room
which overlooks the front garden. There is access to the roof space, a built in
wardrobe and large roof light.
BATHROOM
Recently refitted this delightful room perfectly marries old and new. The ‘OldeWorlde’ charm of its original exposed beams, vaulted ceiling and roof-light
contrast with contemporary tiling and a modern white suite comprising a hand
basin set on top of an oak vanity unit, corner bath, low-level WC and a corner Mira
shower.
BEDROOM 3: 12’1” x 9’1”
The roof light overlooks the front elevation. Its original exposed beams and vaulted
ceiling add character. There is access to the roof space.
BEDROOM 4: 9’3” x 9’0”
Currently being used as the home office/study it too benefits from exposed beams,
a vaulted ceiling and roof light.
GARAGE
Accessed from the driveway at the front of the property through double doors and
from the rear patio through a partially glazed arched door, the garage is currently
being used for storage but has potential for a number of uses.
GARDEN
Both front and back gardens are easy to maintain. At the front of the property
is a mature landscaped tiered garden with delightful sitting areas that get the
sun all afternoon and evening. The back garden, which is accessed both via the
side of the property and the kitchen, receives the morning and late evening sun.
It is a delightful enclosed space with a large patio area, the rest largely laid to
lawn with a large patio area and mature well established borders.
