Seller Insight

Welcome to Moorcroft Barn, a picturesque barn conversion nestled down a quiet lane in a quaint village, offering a perfect blend of rural tranquility and proximity to Worcester City Centre.

“After an extensive renovation, the south-facing aspect of Moorcroft Barn became a captivating feature, bathing the interior in all-day sunshine. This transformed the barn into a bright and welcoming home, requiring minimal upkeep, allowing more time for enjoyment, say the current owners.

The oak framed extension, an epitome of summer enjoyment, opens onto a patio, creating an ideal space for gatherings and BBQs. The picture window frames uninterrupted views of the vibrant garden, adorned with colourful plants and a captivating Wisteria. In winter, the lounge, with full-height windows and a log burner, exudes warmth and cosiness.

A comprehensive renovation reconfigured the downstairs, introducing an office, utility/ boot room, and downstairs WC. Swapping the lounge and kitchen enhanced the spatial dynamics. The addition of the oak frame extension maximised the potential, creating a well-designed and functional space. The decor resonates with a country living aesthetic, maintaining the rustic feel of a barn conversion. The property caters to an equestrian lifestyle, with porcelain tiles for easy maintenance and dedicated offices with high-speed broadband for efficient work-from-home setups.

Known for hosting delightful BBQs and family gatherings, Moorcroft Barn has witnessed numerous joyful moments. As a south-facing property it enjoys abundant natural light, creating a bright and airy ambiance throughout the day. The garden, a haven of flowers and colours in summer, offers a serene escape with the gentle sounds of nature. The installation of an automated gate and electric vehicle charger adds convenience and security.

Sinton Green boasts a welcoming community, where neighbours quickly become friends. A new nearby pub adds a charming touch, providing a gathering spot for the community. Sinton Green’s rural charm extends to pony sightings and quiet lanes, offering opportunities for riding and walks. The village’s proximity to Worcester City provides a perfect balance of rural living and access to city amenities, schools, and services. Embrace the local community, as the friendly and helpful neighbours contribute to a sense of belonging.

Moorcroft Barn awaits its next custodians, offering a tranquil and well-crafted home for a lifestyle of comfort and enjoyment”.*

Ombersley has been recently named among the ‘most desirable’ places to live in in the UK, according to the Telegraph.
