We understand moving home is one of the most important decisions you make; your home is both a financial and emotional investment. With Fine & Country you benefit from the local knowledge, experience, expertise and contacts of a well trained, educated and courteous team of professionals, working to make the sale or purchase of your property as stress free as possible.
Nestling within a hidden North Worcestershire valley, Oak Tree Barn has ready access to a varied mix of historic village settlements including Alvechurch to the South (3.5 miles), Barnt Green to the West (3.6 miles), Wythall to the East (3.2 miles) and Kings Norton to the North (3.2 miles). The area is characterised by destination gastro pubs and local amenities, including a variety of sporting clubs. The main service station at Hopwood is also a convenient bonus with a Waitrose.
A lattice of footpaths allow for leisurely country strolls, as does the Worcestershire Birmingham Canal, which dissects Hopwood abutting The Hopwood House pub.
A deceptively spacious semi-detached barn conversion with no less than five bedrooms and three reception rooms, over two floors. The beautifully crafted accommodation is an intoxicating mix of traditional materials with warm limestone flooring and a wealth of solid oak.
Accessed via a private shared, and gated courtyard, Oak Tree Barn has a large South facing garden fanning out to the rear, which provides for a rural setting that belies the fact that the property is only a short drive to the M42 (junction two). The perfect marriage of cosmopolitan accessibility and rural lifestyle.
Ground Floor
On the ground floor the main reception hall has two crafted oak staircases that provide access to the first floor and a fossilised limestone floor, with underfloor heating, providing access to all of the principal ground floor rooms. These include a Lounge with dual aspect, French windows to the garden and centrepiece fireplace. A doorway leads to the beautifully fitted Oak Kitchen/Breakfast Room with quality appliances and central breakfast bar ; again enjoying a dual aspect with rural outlook. In addition, there is a Cloakroom with WC, formal Dining Room, Guest Bedroom suite with Shower Room, Bedroom Five (current play room), spacious Family Bathroom and Utility Room. All the bathrooms are fitted with exqisite Villeroy and Boch suites. The hallway also provides for access to the integral Garage.
• Guest Bedroom Suite with En-suite Shower room• Bedroom Five (currently used as a playroom)• Family Bathroom• Utility Room
First Floor
The principle staircase and landing area to the first floor serve the Master Bedroom with En-suite Shower Room, Bedroom Three with En-suite Bathroom, and Bedroom Four. The secondary staircase rises to the centre of a splendid first floor Reception Room, currently utilised as a study, that could easily become another Bedroom (plumbing is to hand for creating a further En-suite).
“One unique feature of the property is the panoramic views it provides. If you are looking for a property completely surrounded by rural vistas then look no further. Oak Tree Barn provides uninterrupted views of the open countryside from almost every room.”
• Landing• Master Bedroom Suite with En-suite Shower room• Bedroom Three with En-suite Bathroom• Bedroom Four• Reception room (with separate stair access from the ground floor and potential for further bedroom)
“The size and space of each room and the number of en suite bathrooms, all attracted us to the property, and we were very impressed at the quality of the finish.”
Character
The property has been constructed with oil fired underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators to the first floor. The traditional windows, including conservation style roof lights are all double glazed.
“The barn is full of character, from the slate roof and red brick exterior, to the warm oak interior and beamed ceilings. The property was previously a cowshed and milking parlour, and has all the features of a barn conversation.”
OUTSIDE
• Private shared courtyard with gated access to Lea End Lane.• Allocated parking offering ready access to the Integral Garage.• Patio area to the South elevation of the House leading onto the lawned garden with open rural aspect. • A well tendered mature border provides for a welcoming approach to the front door.
The security gates off Lea End Lane provide access to the shared private courtyard and to the property itself with allocated parking and access to the integral garage, which has a personnel door leading directly into the house; so you may escape inclement weather.
The wide open gardens to the rear of the property back on to open fields and provide scope for a green fingered enthusiast or a haven for children to play in. The patio area provides for an outside dining area, as the weather permits and an established hard standing for barbecue and sun loungers. The Oak trees at the Southern tip of the estate provide credence to the name of the property.
LOCATION
Hopwood lies at the heart of the varied village communities of Alvechurch, Barnt Green, Wythall, and Kings Norton. All of which are within 3.5 miles of Oak Tree Barn. The Town of Redditch, approximately six and a half miles to the South, enjoys the significant benefit of its New Town status with the Kingfisher Centre offering one of the largest enclosed shopping areas within the UK and the widest range of household names including Marks and Spencer’s and Debenhams.
High Street Shopping is to be found in the County Town and Cathedral City of Worcester (23 miles), Cheltenham (42 miles), Birmingham City Centre (9 miles), Merry Hill Dudley (13 miles), Leamington Spa (24 miles), Stratford upon Avon (20 miles), Touchwood Solihull (9 miles), Bristol (81 miles) and Cardiff (101 miles).
If education is a priority then Worcestershire is blessed with an enviable mix of schooling at all levels, including a variety of independent establishments, allowing parents to select the right environment for their children’s needs. The “Three tier” model has been retained locally within the maintained sector and fee paying schools of national repute are to be found at Bromsgrove and Solihull.
The M42 motorway (Junction 2,) is only 2.5 miles away, and provides ready access to Birmingham and the surrounding industrial and commercial areas as well as Birmingham International Airport (17 miles), the M40 (9 miles), to London (113 miles), London Heathrow (101 miles) and Warwick Parkway (21 miles). The recently upgraded railway line from Redditch, with a station at Alvechurch, enables access to both the regional and national network and is a popular commuting station for both Birmingham and The South West and Worcester. There is also a Railway Station at Wythall.
“We have loved living in a rural setting, where you can walk straight into the countryside from the house and also access shops, villages, restaurants and pubs within a few
minutes”
