Tyebeams Stoke Pound Lane | Stoke Pound | Bromsgrove | Worcestershire | B60 4LH

TYEBEAMS Tyebeams is an exceptionally presented brick and timber framed property which was originally constructed in 1760, located in the popular village of Stoke Pound on the outskirts of Bromsgrove. This two-bedroom property has been lovingly refurbished to a very high standard with works including sand blasting of the beams internally, new kitchen and bathrooms, electrics and central heating. Sitting in approximately 3/4 of an acre - the views to the rear are of the surrounding open countryside and the front and rear gardens are low maintenance and have a mature vegetable garden and greenhouse. A new three-bay oak framed garage has been constructed as well as an outdoor kitchen/ entertaining area. Tyebeams has connections to the Canal Trust and Conservation and is within walking distance of the Queens Head Pub.

Ground floor: Entering the property through the magnificent oak front door grants access to the entrance hall, adorned with oak flooring. The sitting room boasts an Inglenook fireplace, a recently added log burner, and the same beautiful oak flooring.

The cottage now features a brand-new kitchen complete with a Belfast sink inserted into the granite and oak worktop, a range cooker, and ample space for a washing machine. The kitchen is further enhanced by a charming stable door.

All rooms have double aspect windows making for a bright and airy atmosphere.

Seller Insight This pristine, compact, 17th century cottage is set on a generous parcel of land within the historic village of Stoke Pound and has links to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal Trust. A delightful, rural, location but within convenient reach of firstrate road and rail links. The present owners have lived here for over two years, during which time the cottage has undergone a major refurbishment project to upgrade and enhance their home.

Now such a delightful cottage, and one which contains a natural, welcoming and delightful ambience. Coming to view the cottage it did require some TLC, but its position along this quiet lane, with its fabulous outlook, plus its potential, was obvious. Before moving into their new home, the owners’ first task was to sandblast the interior of the cottage which immediately enhanced the beauty of its oak frame, alongside such features as the front door and sandstone chimney, all boosting its appearance. Many practical tasks were of high priority for the owners, thereby increasing the beauty, comforts and luxuries of their home. The splendid kitchen reflects their attention to detail and respect for the unique history of the cottage.

The pretty landscaped garden has many attractions, including its quiet courtyard, which is ideal when entertaining, especially with the fully equipped outbuilding being conveniently close, including a large workshop, vegetable garden and greenhouse. In addition, there is an attractive spacious oak framed garage which presently is home to the owners’ vintage cars, but its uses are endless.

There are several delightful walks direct from the cottage, including walking along the canal towpath, or to visit excellent local pubs. Schools in the area are highly rated, with a good choice of both state and independent. The adjacent village of Stoke Prior is where the nearest shops are located, but urban centres such as Redditch and Bromsgrove are close by. There are also several local attractions within easy reach, including excellent garden centres.

It is for logistical, practical, reasons that the owners are saying farewell to this lovely home.

They can feel justly proud in the care and love they have given to the cottage whilst living here and wish its new owners much happiness.*

A substantial vegetable garden yields a diverse range of produce throughout the year and is complemented by a wooden and glass greenhouse. The garden is designed for minimal maintenance and offers a picturesque view of open countryside and distant woodlands. The current owners have transformed one of the outbuildings into an outdoor kitchen and entertainment area, featuring elegant oak and granite finishes, as well as a separate WC. Planning Permission Granted on 23rd October 2023 for conversion of the outbuilding into ancillary accommodation - Ref: 23/00779/FUL.
