Seller Insight

Occupying a corner plot on a small private development of 14 rural homes with its own private green, this sizeable home with a separate annex and wraparound garden has been built in a traditional barn style with a modern layout.

Completed around 20 years ago it has since been subject to several quality updates and an excellent kitchen extension. “Sitting at the back of the development in a large courtyard with two other properties its position is superb. Whilst the front feels a little more social the rear is incredibly private; the large, mostly lawned garden, leads to fields with grazing sheep and a neolithic mine. We have stunning views as far as the Malvern Hills and it’s a great spot for nature. Whether outside on the patio or sitting on the sofa in the large kitchen area – with or without the bi-fold doors open – one can watch all manner of wildlife, from deer and woodpeckers to nesting barn owls. We also love watching the changing season”, explain the current owners.

Despite the wonderful feeling of rurality, the property enjoys good links with Birmingham, the M5, M42 and M40 motorways, and the airport. It is also only 5 minutes from Aston Fields, a village fast becoming a culinary hotspot due to a wealth of quality restaurants and bars. The property is also within striking distance of several good schools.

“The back of the house faces south-west, and sunlight comes into every single window. Every bathroom has been updated with Villeroy and Boch fittings and we have fitted a stunning Neptune kitchen. When we extended the kitchen, we added a ceiling lantern which ensures the space is flooded with light; the open plan kitchen diner has double aspect views.”

“The garage is technically for three-cars, however we have turned two bays into a fully fitted gym, above which is a self-contained annex – this space is ideal for teens or multi-generational living.”

“We have changed every window in the house to aluminum; weather facing - we felt it important to make sure they were easy to maintain. The house is also well insulated.”

“Our neighbours are lovely, and everyone is happy to take parcels in and put the bins out when you’re away. Together we host a range of communal events, from summer barbeques to Christmas drinks. It’s such a friendly and safe place to live.”

“The nearby Birmingham and Worcester canal provides great walking opportunities.”*
