5 PARK FARM BARNS

Barn 5 is a beautiful and picturesque barn that exudes charm and character. The property has been tastefully decorated and maintained to a high standard. The barn is set within the grounds of Park Farm Barns, a small collection of barns which were converted in 1996. This delightful mid-terrace property has three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and gardens to the front and rear and has a single garage. Park Farm Barns are located in the village of Oddingley and is within easy reach of Droitwich Spa, Worcester and the M5 Motorway.

Ground Floor:

The property is approached through a wrought iron gate into the attractive front garden. The barn has recently undergone a makeover with new hardwood windows and doors fitted throughout.

The front door leads into the quarry tiled hallway which has a guest cloakroom with WC. Located off the hallway is the kitchen which has a range of solid wood units, complementing granite work surfaces and a Belfast sink. The kitchen overlooks the rear patio area and features a wealth of integrated appliances with a range oven.

The sitting room is entered off the hallway and has a large Inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove, beautiful flagstone tiles and solid wood cabinetry. There is space for a large dining table and chairs and this room has double aspect windows which have lovely views across the front and rear elevations. A french door provides access to the garden from the lounge.

Seller Insight

Positioned just north of the small village of Oddingley, a short distance northeast of the historic town of Worcester, number five Park Farm Barns is positioned at the back of an attractive development of seven barn conversions. Converted in 1996 by a reputable developer, it is accessed via a private driveway leading off a quiet country lane and includes good sized gardens and rural views. With its cottage style on the ground floor and airy vaulted ceilings on the first floor, the property has a great deal of character and makes the perfect country home.

“I have always preferred properties with some character and the barn has this in abundance – we especially love how it cleverly bridges the gap between cottage and barn to offer a cosy yet spacious home” say the current owners.

Excellently located to enjoy a quiet country life filled with peaceful days and country walks to local pubs, it is also conveniently close to junction six of the M5 and just under fifteen-minutes from the centre of Worcester.

“The location was a huge draw; one can step out the front door and take the dog for a walk or get in the car and be in town or at the gym in a matter of minutes. The local villages have some great amenities too; Crowle has a lovely community managed shop selling homemade food while Tibberton has a good primary school” the owners continue. Worcester, renowned for its excellent schools, has a good variety of state and fee-paying provision for all ages.

“From replacing all windows and doors with solid oak internally and sequoia externally – a hybrid style – and landscaping the garden to full Farrow & Ball colour consultant painting throughout we have kept the place very up to date. The galleried landing/study area with its vaulted ceilings and great views over the garden and to the fields beyond is a wonderfully peaceful area. The barn is perfect for entertaining and has a very sociable feel. Living in a small community gives a feeling of safety and comfort; everyone helps each other out when needed yet we enjoy a good amount of privacy. Trench Wood Nature Reserve and the Worcester and Birmingham canal are both within walking distance and we love that we don’t have to get in the car to head out into the countryside. We’ve found that living surrounded by nature and birdsong is very calming and good for the soul.”*

First Floor:

The landing area features a wonderful picture window and a seating area with a vaulted ceiling, overlooking the front gardens. The high ceilings offer a sense of space and light. The main bedroom has an ensuite shower room and fitted wardrobes and it benefits from two further generous double bedrooms, which share the well-appointed family bathroom.

LOCATION

Park Farm Barns are situated in the rural village of Oddingley which is within close proximity of the market town of Droitwich Spa, and the cathedral city of Worcester. Droitwich Spa has all the amenities any family would require including supermarkets, schools, doctors surgeries, dentists, shops and a good selection of pubs and restaurants.

The cathedral city of Worcester, lying on the banks of the River Severn, is some 6 miles south providing for high street and boutique shopping, and characterised by one of England’s great cathedrals, county cricket ground, racecourse and university.

The M5 motorway provides for ready access to Birmingham and the surrounding industrial and commercial areas, as well as Birmingham International Airport and the M40. London is best accessed by the M40, via the M5/M42. The M5 south also provides for commuting to Cheltenham and its racecourse, Gloucester and Bristol. Worcestershire Parkway Railway Station, situated to the east of Worcester, off junction 7 of the M5, is intended to increase the capacity to London as well as reduced journey times. This has already had a significant impact on Worcestershire’s accessibility to the capital and other regional centres.

If education is a priority, then Worcestershire is blessed with an enviable mix of schooling at all levels, including a variety of independent establishments, allowing parents to select the right environment for their children’s needs. These include Bromsgrove School, Malvern College and both The Kings Schools and Royal Grammar School closer by at Worcester.

For days out and recreation, Barn 5 is well placed for ready access to the north Cotswolds and Broadway, as well as Stratford-upon-Avon, Great Malvern and the Malvern Hills, and Ludlow.
