Summary - SWALLOWS BARN BROCKHILL LANE ALVECHURCH BIRMINGHAM B48 7ED
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Historic barn conversion on 1.3 acres with flexible annexe and gated privacy.
Grade II listed barn conversion, circa 3,795 sq ft
An imposing Grade II listed barn conversion set on about 1.3 acres at the top of Weatheroak Hill, Swallows Barn delivers nearly 3,800 sq ft of adaptable family living with strong kerb appeal. The conversion (2007) combines original barn character — exposed beams, double-height living space and a mezzanine — with contemporary fittings such as a bespoke Miele kitchen, Quooker tap and a ground-source heat pump. Almost every ground-floor room opens to the south-facing garden and large patio, ideal for entertaining and family life.
The layout includes a flexible south wing that can function as an annexe: a vaulted sitting room, utility, double bedroom and shower room. A detached double garage and a three-room timber outbuilding provide practical workshop, gym or home-studio options. The long gated driveway, formal landscaping, greenhouse, vegetable beds and mature trees (including a sequoia) emphasise the estate-like plot and privacy.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property’s Grade II listed status restricts alterations and will affect planning and maintenance choices. Waste is managed via a private reed-bed septic system rather than mains drainage. Heating is mainly via a ground-source heat pump with an oil-fired boiler as backup and underfloor heating only to part of the ground floor. The large plot and listed fabric bring higher upkeep and running considerations despite low local crime and a very affluent area.
This home suits a family or multigenerational household wanting space, countryside adjacency and flexible accommodation, or a buyer seeking a characterful executive residence close to Alvechurch and transport links. The combination of strong internal space, outbuildings and a substantial south-facing garden represents notable long-term lifestyle value, provided buyers accept listed-property constraints and private drainage arrangements.
