Nestled in a tranquil corner of the picturesque and unspoiled village of Oldbury-On- Severn with its vibrant community, The Old Barn offers spacious accommodation (approx. 2778 sq.ft) and a unique blend of traditional charm and modern luxury. Acquired by its current owners in 2014, the property underwent an extensive renovation, transforming it into a stunning home while preserving its original barn character. A notable addition is the single-storey extension, featuring a green ‘garden’ roof and an architect-designed kitchen/dining room. This remarkable renovation has been highlighted in Ideal Home (January 2017) and Grand Designs (September 2018). The Old Barn now boasts wood and stone floors, period-style bathroom and shower fittings, a log-burning stove in the sitting room, bi-fold doors connecting the kitchen to the garden, double-glazed windows, and custom-built window shutters, all blending seamlessly to offer luxurious 21st-century living.
Interior Layout
The spacious reception hall, featuring a turning staircase, provides access to all ground floor rooms. The sitting room is an inviting, well-proportioned space with a fireplace and a log-burning stove. The bespoke kitchen/dining room is a standout feature, with one wall fitted with bi-fold doors that open onto a deck and the garden. The kitchen is equipped with a central island and breakfast bar, quartz countertops, and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, two wine coolers, and a cabinet fridge/freezer. Adjacent to the rear hall is a shower room, a utility cupboard, and a stable door leading to a rear courtyard. Additionally, there is a bedroom and a snug that could serve as a fifth bedroom.
First Floor
Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes a dressing area and an en-suite shower room. There are two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Annexe
The detached annexe, situated across the garden, matches the high standards of The Old Barn. Converted from a stone and tile barn, it features a sitting room on the ground floor and a bedroom with an en-suite shower room on the first floor.
Exterior Features
The property is approached via a gravel parking area accommodating up to five cars. Surrounding the parking area are a single carport, a stone and tile store with timber doors, and an open store with garden storage. A wide entrance overhang offers log storage and leads to a boot room.
The rear garden is beautifully landscaped with an open outlook. Directly outside the kitchen/dining room is a large decking area with bench seating, a pizza oven, and raised beds, creating a perfect space for entertaining. Adjacent is a paved area bordered by box hedging, extending the entertainment space. The garden also includes a level lawn, a log store, and a ‘log cabin’ style building, currently used as a gym but suitable for a home office, studio, or summer house. Additionally, there is a courtyard area at the rear of the property.
