I was so astounded by the position of the property that I had made up my mind I was going to live here, before I had even stepped inside!” Since moving in, the owner has made various improvements to this picturesque barn conversion. “I have completely redesigned the master bedroom and en-suite,” they say, “as well as installing rustic cast iron radiators in the feature rooms. In 2011, I had the single storey roof completely retiled in reclaimed clay tiles to comply with planning, in keeping with the character of the building.” This is the ideal home for everyday life and entertaining alike. “The beautiful dining room and kitchen are perfect for parties,” says the owner, “opening out onto the garden for al fresco dinners and drinks in the summer months. The arrangement of the house is such that overnight guests can stay in a separate wing of the house on the ground floor, and meet in the morning in the dining room in the centre of the property.” “This is a property which offers a real sense of exclusivity at an affordable price,” the owner continues, “especially given its location. The house sits in a very quiet, tranquil position in stunning surroundings, whilst offering access to the M5 corridor within 5 minutes. Worcester and Droitwich are both within a 5 minute drive, whilst within a one mile radius there are four country pubs including the famous Bowling Green pub restaurant, a Post Office and a general store.” “The dining room is stunning with its vaulted ceilings and exposed 200 year old beams, with doors opening right out from the open plan dining and kitchen area onto the established garden with its large natural pond, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor space.” “The open plan kitchen and dining area offers a very special sociable part of the house that is fantastic for entertaining or just having breakfast with the doors ajar, listening to the wildlife you naturally get being within a conservation area.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an in- sight into life at the property.

There are small patio areas where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine and look out over lovely views. The gardens are not overlooked; so are very peaceful and private.” Stable Barn Pages.indd 14 18/09/2019 10:55 Stable Barn Pages.indd 15 18/09/2019 10:55 LOCAL AREA Stable Barn occupies the corner of a courtyard of barns, which were formerly part of The Martin Court Estate, on the Western fringe of the hamlet of Martin Hussingtree, adjacent to The Church of Saint Michael and AllAngels.
