Approximately 1.88-acre plot including formal gardens and adjoining paddock
Set at the end of a private drive and occupying about 1.88 acres, this substantial barn conversion blends rural seclusion with immediate access to Alvechurch village (0.8 miles). The home offers more than 2,700 sq ft of flexible living space, including two en suite doubles, two further bedrooms and a dramatic vaulted kitchen/diner with sliding doors onto a decked terrace and panoramic countryside views. Formal gardens, a paddock and a brick outbuilding extend outdoor possibilities for gardening, hobbies or small-scale equestrian use.
Inside, original barn character is prominent — exposed beams, high vaulted ceilings, inglenook fireplaces and parquet floors create generous, atmospheric rooms. Practical spaces include a home office, utility room, internal garage access and plentiful storage. The layout suits families or those wanting home-working space plus private sleeping wings and flexible reception areas for entertaining.
Important practical points: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation; double glazing dates from before 2002 and the EPC is rated E. These factors, together with the property’s age and construction, mean some thermal and running-cost improvements may be desirable. Council tax is above average. The plot’s scale and rural location are major strengths but also bring maintenance requirements for gardens, paddock and outbuildings.
Chain-free and quietly positioned with very low local crime, this barn is a rare countryside opportunity close to good schools, a train station and commuter routes. It will particularly appeal to families and buyers seeking an established character home with scope to improve energy performance and personalise to taste.
