3 bed country house for sale

Bockleton Road, Oldwood, Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire WR15

An exceptional Grade II listed 14th Century barn conversion offering modern open plan living in an idyllic rural setting with planning for a separate annexe.

Crook Barn is a home of rare character, where the honest craftsmanship of its origins sits in harmony with a thoughtful modern sensibility. Set within a private and peaceful rural setting, the barn has been sensitively arranged to celebrate its most fascinating original features: An abundance of exposed timbers, generous volumes and a striking double-height ceiling. The result is a house that feels both grounded in its past and entirely at ease with contemporary living.

At the heart of the home lies a beautiful open-plan kitchen, sitting and dining room, a wonderfully sociable space with a natural flow from one area to the next. Above, the vaulted ceiling rises to full height, its exposed beams on display, while a galleried bedroom looks down over the living space below. The kitchen is fully fitted with solid oak units and a double Belfast sink, and centres on a Rangemaster cooker with induction hob, together with a range of further appliances. It is a room for long family breakfasts, relaxed suppers and easy entertaining alike.

The accommodation is versatile and well considered. On the ground floor, a double bedroom with a modern en-suite offers an ideal arrangement for visiting guests or multi-generational living. An exceptional solid oak staircase rises to the principal bedroom, a galleried room beneath a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, full of light and character. A further double bedroom is accessed from a separate staircase and also benefits from its own modern en-suite bathroom.

The property is highly efficient and well insulated with an EPC rating of B.

Outside
The barn sits within gardens and grounds of around an acre in total, enveloped by rolling countryside. The setting is idyllic, private and wonderfully peaceful, with a sense of space and calm that is increasingly hard to find.

The surrounding landscape brings the changing seasons right to the door, and the grounds offer plenty of room for children to play, for gardening ambitions to take shape, and for simply enjoying the quiet of the countryside.
A particular feature of the property is an exceptional outbuilding with planning permission for conversion into a three-bedroom annexe. It offers considerable potential for multi-generational living, holiday letting or a variety of other uses, subject to the necessary consents. There is parking for a number of vehicles.

Situation
Crook Barn is set back off the Bockleton Road within its own grounds, and is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. The property is just a short drive from the market town of Tenbury Wells which offers many facilities including a variety of shops and services, a library, a doctors’ surgery, a cottage hospital, cinema, swimming pool and gym, and a range of clubs and societies.
