Description
This characterful and spacious former farmhouse offers beautifully balanced accommodation across three floors, thoughtfully designed for modern living while retaining a charming country feel.
Upon entering through the formal front entrance hall, you're greeted by two elegant reception rooms positioned either side—both enjoying views over the picturesque front garden. To the right, a refined dining room with a gas fire creates the perfect setting for entertaining, and features a discreet hatch leading to a heated cellar ideal for storage. Opposite, the lounge offers a welcoming retreat with a wood-burning stove and double doors opening directly onto the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
To the rear of the home, a country-style kitchen/dining room enjoys an abundance of natural light through twin skylights and offers views over the private rear courtyard garden. A side door adds convenience, while an adjoining office provides a quiet space to work from home. The ground floor also benefits from a well-equipped utility room and guest WC.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises a spacious master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a sleek en suite wet shower room. Two additional bedrooms—each with built-in storage—are served by a stunning family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bathtub. The loft has been converted to create two further generous double bedrooms, both with large Velux windows, and a stylish second wet shower room.

Outside
Externally, the property is accessed via a private shared driveway (with only one other home), leading to its own secure, gated drive with ample parking. A wrap-around paved area adds functionality, while the mature south-facing front garden offers a tranquil woodland setting. To the rear, the courtyard garden provides a secluded outdoor space, complete with a useful garden shed—an ideal spot for relaxing or alfresco dining.
Vendor’s Thoughts: ‘We've been incredibly happy to call this house our home over many years and it has been the perfect place to raise our family. Tucked away from the lane in the picturesque village of Blackwell, it offers a wonderful sense of privacy, and security that is hard to find. Being set back from the road gives real peace of mind, knowing that children and pets can safely enjoy the garden and outdoor space.
One of the things we have loved most is the setting. Surrounded by nature, it is not unusual to spot deer, foxes and a wide variety of birds, making it feel like a countryside retreat while still being close to everything you need. The area is ideal for walking, with beautiful routes right on the doorstep, whether you're enjoying a stroll or heading out with the dogs.
Despite its secluded feel, the house is exceptionally well located. Barnt Green's excellent amenities are just a short distance away, and the nearby train station and motorway links make commuting and travelling straightforward.
This home has given us many wonderful memories over the years, from family time in the garden to enjoying the surrounding countryside and village community. It offers the perfect balance of rural charm, convenience and privacy, and we hope the next owners will love living here and create as many happy memories as we have.’
