Longbarns Cover.indd 4 07/03/2019 15:33 Longbarns Pages.indd 1 07/03/2019 15:31 Longbarns is an idyllically situated large detached barn conversion with exceptional views across the Worcestershire countryside, as far reaching as the Malvern Hills. Converted to a residential barn in 1987, the property benefits from four bedrooms in the main house and a further separate two bedroom annexe in the courtyard. Beautifully landscaped gardens consisting of 2 paddocks equivalent to approximately 10 acres that are found at the rear of the property. Accommodation Summary Ground Floor • Entrance Hall with stone tiled floor and cloaks cupboard • Spacious Lounge with log burner • Separate Dining Room leading to a generous Conservatory • Well proportioned Kitchen with an Aga, secondary electric ovens, induction hob, built in fridge and space for a dishwasher • Utility Room with sink, boiler, storage cupboards and space for a washing machine • Study/Bedroom Four with En Suite Shower Room Longbarns Pages.indd 2 07/03/2019 15:31 Longbarns Pages.indd 3 07/03/2019 15:31 Seller Insight Converted by the present owners in 1987 from a courtyard of old farm buildings, Longbarns is a unique and very beautiful home that enjoys a glorious rural location on the outskirts of the thriving town of Bromsgrove. “My wife and I had always had a hankering to convert a barn, and when we happened upon this particular property some thirty years ago, everything just fell into place,” says the owner. “We’d been looking for the right project for quite some time, but what really sold this property to us was its quite exceptional setting. It’s tucked away at the end of a long, private driveway and enjoys a lovely open aspect, so we’re afforded the most magnificent views towards Shropshire, Wales and Gloucestershire.” “What we particularly like about barn conversions is the fact that they always have such a super feeling of space, and in Longbarns, although the layout is quite traditional – separate dining room, separate kitchen, separate living room – each space boasts wonderful proportions. There’s also a lovely flow from room to room and the main living areas have a very open feel, which is a layout that is comfortable for everyday living and superb for entertaining. When designing the property, we also wanted to take advantage of this glorious setting so we’ve added a lovely big conservatory, which looks out across the grounds and the quite spectacular countryside beyond. We can sit in there no matter what the weather and just soak in these lovely surroundings.” “The accommodation is arranged around a large gravel courtyard, which was key for us as it means we’re in no way overlooked, and we benefit from having around eleven acres of private gardens and grounds,” continues the owner. “Beyond the conservatory we have a slightly raised patio terrace where we can sit and admire the tremendous views, there’s also a pretty pond and then the rest of the garden, which extends to around an acre, is mainly laid to lawn and edged with mature shrubs, trees and hedging. It’s such a pretty space, and superb for summer entertaining, it’s even provided the most beautiful backdrop to four weddings.” “The sitting room is a lovely part of the house,” says the owner. “It’s very bright and spacious and it’s a fantastic room for a party. On Boxing Day we entertained around eighty guests in there.” “The views from the house are green for as far as the eye can see, so it’s often hard to believe that we’re so close to civilization,” says the owner. “We’re just a couple of miles from the M42, three miles from two mainline stations, we can be in Bromsgrove in under ten minutes and both Stratford and Birmingham in just over half an hour. So, we’re by no means isolated.” * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent. Longbarns Pages.indd 4 07/03/2019 15:31 Longbarns Pages.indd 5 07/03/2019 15:31 The main house was fashioned out of the principal barn and we also created an annexe in a separate outbuilding,” says the owner. “It has two bedrooms and a bathroom, and it’s provided very comfortable accommodation for visiting guests.” Longbarns Pages.indd 6 07/03/2019 15:31 Longbarns Pages.indd 7 07/03/2019 15:32 Longbarns Pages.indd 8 07/03/2019 15:32 First Floor • Master Bedroom, Dressing Area with built in wardrobes and En-suite Bathroom • Bedroom Two with exposed beams • Bedroom Three with exposed beams • Family Bathroom which has recently been renovated Longbarns Pages.indd 9 07/03/2019 15:32 Longbarns Pages.indd 10 07/03/2019 15:32 Longbarns Pages.indd 11 07/03/2019 15:32 Annexe Separate Annexe in the courtyard which has two bedrooms and a full bathroom.

Longbarns Pages.indd 13 07/03/2019 15:32 Longbarns Pages.indd 14 07/03/2019 15:32 The barn has been everything we hoped it would be and we’ve been extremely happy here for the past thirty two years,” says the owner. “But in terms of what we’ll miss most, it will be those tremendous views.” Longbarns Pages.indd 15 07/03/2019 15:32 LOCATION Longbarns is conveniently located in Tardebigge, just a few miles from the village of Barnt Green and the market towns of Bromsgrove and Redditch.

  • Walk K – Finstall and Stoke Prior (6¾ Miles)
    Walk K – Finstall and Stoke Prior (6¾ miles) Although the walk starts at Bromsgrove Station it quickly runs into the lovely countryside of Finstall and Stoke Prior parishes. The Queens Head Pub further along the circuit is a good alternative place to start if you wish to avoid the station. The walk can also link up with Walk E to make a longer 12 mile circuit. Boots are advisable except in driest weather. Parking is available at the start of the walk in the station car park (pay and display). The Queens Head pub may allow walkers to park but please check. Roadside parking is also possible in Woodgate Road at the southern end of the circuit. There are six Geocaches on this walk. The walk should take around 2½-3 hours. 1. Bromsgrove Station – Turn right by the Ladybird Inn and Lodge into Finstall Road and right again into St Godwalds Road by the Fish and Chip shop. Cross the railway at the start of the Lickey Incline – at 1 in 37 the steepest on the mainline in Britain. For many years trains were banked from Bromsgrove by engines such as “Big Bertha”. The housing estate on the right occupies the site of the Wagon Works – once one of Bromsgrove’s largest employers. Rutherford and Scaife were two engineers killed in a boiler explosion. (Their monuments are in Bromsgrove churchyard) Captain Moorsome was the Chief Engineer and advocate of locomotive rather than rope haulage up the bank. McConnel was the Locomotive Superintendent from 1841. Clayton was associated with the Institute which was sited close to the bridge.
