An impressive converted-barn residence set within approximately 1.6 acres of southerly-facing gardens, orchards and paddock-style grounds. The property combines generous living spaces and original oak beams with modern comforts including a bespoke country kitchen, a heated swimming pool with swim jets, and an energy-efficient self-contained oak annex — ideal for guests or multigenerational living.
The house offers four large double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and principal-suite dual-aspect views over the grounds. Ground-floor slate floors, a log-burner in the living room, and a solid-wood garden room create welcoming, characterful reception spaces. Practical features include a utility room, multiple heating systems (radiators and underfloor heating) and double glazing (install date unknown).
External amenities are a standout: an oak-constructed triple garage (planning approved to convert to ancillary accommodation), a high-security triple-bay stable block, bee hives, wildlife pond, orchard, large patio, cedar gazebo and landscaped outdoor living areas. The plot’s size and layout provide scope for gardening, equestrian use, or further leisure development.
Notable considerations: the property dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, which can mean higher running and improvement costs. The EPC is a C and council tax is Band D. The large, characterful fabric and multiple outbuildings will require routine maintenance and selective updating to meet the needs of some modern buyers.
Positioned in Lickey End near Lickey Hills Country Park and within easy reach of schools, rail and motorway links, this home will suit families seeking a rural-feel property with significant space and flexible accommodation, or investors interested in the approved ancillary conversion and holiday or long-term rental potential.
