Summary
Nestled within the sought after hamlet of Rowney Green, this outstanding three/four bedroom barn conversion enjoys a delightful rural setting while remaining less than two miles from the highly regarded village of Alvechurch. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners, the property has benefited from a series of improvements including a refurbished kitchen along with a luxury bathroom and en suite. Characterful features abound throughout, with exposed beams and vaulted ceilings to the first floor, complemented by a striking double height open aspect entrance foyer with impressive floor to ceiling windows that flood the interior with natural light. Set within approximately 0.34 acres of attractive grounds, the property offers both front (south-east facing) and rear gardens, a double garage and an electronically gated driveway. Despite its peaceful countryside setting, the home also benefits from FTTP (fibre to the premises) internet, making it perfectly suited for modern living and working from home.
Description
The accommodation opens immediately into an impressive and expansive open plan living space, centered around a striking double-height entrance foyer with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interior with natural light and create a wonderful sense of space on arrival. This substantial room is thoughtfully arranged into two distinct zones: an inviting living area featuring a wood burning stove, and a slightly lower level dining area that provides a superb setting for entertaining. From this central hub, a separate lower-level sitting room offers a more intimate retreat and benefits from access to both the front and rear gardens.
The contemporary kitchen enjoys the comfort of underfloor heating and is fitted with a breakfast bar, extensive cupboard space, elegant quartz worktops and space for a range oven. A door leads directly out to an external courtyard area which adjoins the main rear garden. Integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and extractor fan.
A striking set of open riser stairs rises to the first-floor mezzanine landing, where a soaring beamed ceiling creates an impressive sense of character and scale. The entire first floor enjoys fantastic vaulted ceilings. From the landing, there are delightful views down into the open plan living space below and out towards the front garden through the dramatic floor to ceiling windows.
The principal bedroom features Velux windows, fitted wardrobes and exposed beams, along with a stylish modern en suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, a large storage cupboard off the landing, and a sumptuous family bathroom complete with underfloor heating, Velux window, freestanding bathtub and a walk in shower with rainfall head. A further area off the landing, defined by a wide archway (without a door), provides an excellent space for a home office but also offers potential to be adapted as a fourth bedroom if required.
Outside
The wrap around gardens are a particular highlight of the property. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a planted border and benefits from fenced boundaries on two sides with mature trees infront, and a brick wall along the remaining boundary. The south-easterly facing front garden features a decked seating area immediately outside the front door, alongside a lawn with planted borders. The property also benefits from an external electric supply and garden tap.
A generous stone chipped driveway sits behind electronically operated gates and provides ample parking, in addition to a double garage.
The property is approached via a shared driveway, with a bridleway passing through.
