Upper Battenhall, Worcester, WR7

A contemporary barn conversion in a rural setting

Description

Formerly a disused steel framed cattle barn Steel Barn has been thoughtfully converted to create a stunning family home, ideal for family life and entertaining. The owners carefully considered every detail from the number of sockets, designing plenty of storage space and wiring CCTV to designing the layout and future proofing the property with an air source pump, a central concrete block wood burner to retain the heat and a solar and battery system.

The property is perfectly situated to take advantage of all that Worcester has to offer whilst still offering a rural life style.

The spacious and well-presented accommodation is set out over one floor and comprises:

Entrance hall
Principal bedroom with en suite and dressing room
Bedroom two with en suite
Bedroom three with en suite
Bedroom four with en suite
Open plan sitting/kitchen and breakfast/dining room
Kitchen area with two double ovens, steam and conventional microwaves, hob with pop-up extraction, built-in fridge/freezer, dishwasher, wine cooler washing machine
Concrete Contura log burner with hidden flue
Utility room with storage
Gym/playroom/office/cinema room or self-contained annex with utility and shower room

Of particular note is the open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with extensive full height glass affording views over the garden and land. This is very much the heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of cabinets and includes a 12-foot island which provides extra food preparation and storage space.

The house sits at the front of the plot with the gated entrance and parking for several vehicles to one side. There is a good sized garden with a substantial paved terrace which is partially enclosed by mature hedges. An opening in the hedge allows views across the paddock and beyond. There is a very useful secure steel outbuilding for garden storage.
