5 bed barn conversion for sale

Stockwood, Worcester B96

Expansive single-storey living, dedicated leisure spaces and landscaped grounds combine at this distinctive conversion, with countryside views and substantial garaging.

Description

Serenity combines an generous kitchen, living and dining space with separate living and cinema rooms. Five bedrooms occupy a distinct wing, served by four bathrooms (with a fifth shower room in the detached garage), including a principal suite with a walk-in wardrobe. A detached triple garage adds a workshop, upstairs storage and a gym and fifth shower room. Landscaped gardens, terraces and gated parking surround the home within approximately 1.1 acres. An additional 6.3 acres across Stockwood Lane are available by separate negotiation.

The living accommodation
An extensive island with breakfast seating anchors the kitchen, complemented by grey cabinetry, pale worktops and a separate pantry. A built-in hob, bank of ovens and integrated wine fridge support cooking and entertaining while keeping the kitchen open to the adjoining living spaces.

Broad bi-fold doors connect the living area to the garden, opening up the long elevation to the lawn and countryside beyond. A pellet burner adds warmth and a textured stone feature wall gives this part of the open-plan room its own identity without interrupting the shared space.

At the opposite end, the dining area enjoys windows on two sides and bi-fold doors to the terrace. Its generous footprint allows a substantial dining table while maintaining a direct connection with the kitchen for larger gatherings.

The dedicated cinema room brings a different atmosphere, with dark finishes and concealed accent lighting creating an immersive setting. Separated from the main open-plan accommodation, it allows film evenings to continue independently of activity elsewhere in the home. The cinema equipment is available by separate negotiation.

Double doors from the entrance hall lead into a separate living room, where a broad window overlooks the garden. Its position away from the kitchen and cinema provides a quieter reception space that could also accommodate a study or library.

The utility continues the kitchen’s cabinetry and tiled flooring, with a sink, worktop and cupboards alongside an integrated washing machine, dryer and fridge. An external door offers useful garden access, while the adjoining boiler room keeps further service equipment apart.

A glazed entrance porch opens into a broad hall with wall panelling, textured stonework and circular rooflights. A large storage cupboard serves the main circulation space, with a separate cloakroom providing a WC and vanity basin close to the entrance.

The bedrooms and bathrooms
At the end of the bedroom wing, the principal bedroom combines a substantial sleeping area with space for a separate seating arrangement. Dual-aspect windows overlook the grounds, while an external door gives the suite its own connection to the garden.

A separate walk-in wardrobe extends alongside the bedroom, with hanging rails and shelving arranged along its length. Keeping dressing space apart from the main room allows the bedroom itself to retain its open proportions.

The principal en suite pairs a freestanding bath with an extensive walk-in shower accessible from either end. Twin countertop basins sit above a vanity unit, complemented by a WC, large-format wall tiles and an illuminated mirror.

The spacious second bedroom has a broad garden-facing window and its own en suite shower room, creating a comfortable guest suite away from the main living spaces. The shower room includes a glazed enclosure, vanity basin and contrasting tiled finishes.

The third and fourth bedrooms are similarly sized doubles, each with a wide window overlooking established greenery to the rear. Their comparable proportions offer a balanced arrangement for family bedrooms, with enough space to incorporate a desk alongside bedroom furniture.

Both bedrooms have direct access to a shared Jack and Jill bathroom. A freestanding bath and separate glazed shower provide a choice of bathing facilities, complemented by a vanity basin, WC, illuminated mirror and large-format tiling.

The fifth bedroom offers another generous double room with a garden outlook. Its adjoining shower room includes a glazed enclosure, vanity basin and WC.

The garden
Approximately 1.1 acres surround the home, with broad lawns, established trees and hedged edges framing views across neighbouring countryside. A pond and less formal areas beneath the trees add variety, balancing the open lawn with quieter corners.

The terrace extends the main living space outdoors through bi-fold doors, with a covered seating area on the upper level. Steps and glass balustrading lead down to a sunken dining terrace with a built-in pizza oven, designed to provide shelter from the wind.

Accessed directly from the principal suite, a separate patio defined by a large olive tree combines large paving slabs with gravel, raised beds and established shrubs. Stone-filled gabion walls create a sheltered courtyard setting, while a pergola defines another seating area apart from the main lawn and entertaining terrace.

The driveway and parking
The detached garage building provides three vehicle bays behind individual roller doors, together with a separate workshop. This combination offers substantial space for a car collection, maintenance projects or hobbies. Rainwater from the garage roof is collected in an underground tank for watering the garden.

Stairs from the workshop lead to an extensive first-floor storage area beneath the pitched roof. Exposed roof timbers and Velux windows characterise this additional space.

With its own external entrance, the gym incorporates a sauna and adjoining shower room. There is potential for an annexe here, subject to obtaining any necessary planning and building regulation approvals. The sauna is available by separate negotiation.

Gates set between stone-filled walls open onto an extensive driveway, with gravel parking and paving.

The land by separate negotiation
Available by separate negotiation, approximately 6.3 acres lie across Stockwood Lane from Serenity. The open grassland is edged by hedgerows and established trees, offering an opportunity to acquire additional land alongside the home.

Held under a separate freehold title, this land may appeal to buyers with outdoor or equestrian interests, subject to suitability and any necessary consents. It is not included within the sale of the home and its approximately 1.1-acre grounds.

Agent Note
An additional 6.3 acres across Stockwood Lane are held under a separate freehold title and are available by separate negotiation. The cinema equipment, sauna and hot tub are also available by separate negotiation.

Fees

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues which individually are more than 1% of the agreed purchase price and are highlighted in a survey and were not evident or drawn to the attention of you, the Buyer, prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over, subject to a minimum reservation fee of £750. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer.

Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and/or the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property. The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained. A further fee will be levied on any subsequent reduced offer that is accepted by the vendor. This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.

Compliance and Verification Fee

A Compliance and Verification Fee of £85 plus VAT (£102 inc VAT) per individual purchaser or related party requiring anti-money laundering, identity, source and proof of funds or financial verification checks is payable upon acceptance of an offer and receipt of the reservation fee.

This fee represents the cost of compliance administration and verification services undertaken in connection with the proposed purchase including anti-money laundering checks, sanctions screening, source of funds verification, proof of funds checks and associated compliance procedures.

The Compliance and Verification Fee shall be deducted from the reservation fee monies held by Andrew Grant.

No compliance or verification work shall be commenced until the reservation fee has been received in cleared funds.

The Compliance and Verification Fee becomes due immediately upon acceptance of the offer and receipt of the reservation fee and shall become non-refundable once any compliance or verification work has commenced, irrespective of whether the transaction subsequently proceeds to Exchange of Contracts or completion.

Where all or part of the reservation fee is refundable under the reservation fee terms, any Compliance and Verification Fees incurred shall first be deducted from the monies returned.
