talbotsGrafton Lane | Upton Warren | Bromsgrove

“Talbots is a Grade II Listed barn that has stood the test of time. My parents were immediately delighted by the rustic charm and unique appointment of this superbly renovated barn conversion, which has easy access to the essential local market-town amenities of Bromsgrove, and the M40, M5 and M42 motorways. Talbots was an inspired purchase, and exudes a profound sense of country ease and tranquility. The manageable gardens seamlessly blend into the exquisite 360-degree panorama of understated rural Worcestershire beauty, with the distant Malverns to the

South-West evocative of a bygone era.”

The entrance hall is spacious and bright due to a large glass frontage. The lounge is extremely spacious with wooden beams and an LPG fired burner that is set into a fireplace with exposed brickwork, making a lovely focal

point.

“The lounge is a fantastic size and perfect for large family get-togethers. The house lends itself to socialising, with its large atrium and open spaces, which need really to be seen to be appreciated.”

The room has views to the front and rear gardens with double doors providing access to the garden. There is a separate good sized dining room with wooden beams.

“The rustic vista to the front and the southern view to the Malverns, the external brickwork and exposed beams with their original Roman numeral markings, and the flood of light to the front atrium offer a sense of timeless pastoral English lifestyle and serenity. Talbots is named after a family branch of the Earls of Shrewsbury, who owned Grafton Manor in the early sixteenth century.”

The kitchen faces the rear garden with a mixture of base and wall units, built in cooker and integrated fridge freezer. The kitchen is large enough for a separate breakfast room area and leads through to the utility room with sink, washing machine, base units and a door into the garden. There

is a downstairs cloakroom with W.C.

The stairs lead up to a spacious landing, the large master bedroom has a separate dressing room area and spacious en-suite with a spa bath, exposed beams and two sinks. The bedroom

enjoys fabulous views of the countryside.

There are three further double bedrooms, all with good amounts of space, light and views. One of these bedrooms also benefits from an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom is modern and spacious with a wooden floor, exposed beams, roll top bath and separate shower. There is plenty of storage space with large built in cupboards in the hallway.

The property is approached down a long shared driveway to the courtyard at the front of the barn where there is ample parking. To the front the garden is part lawn with a pretty cottage style garden and mature trees and shrubs. The rear garden is private and laid to lawn with a patio area, flower beds, mature trees and a pathway providing access into the rear of the double garage. Access to the front of the garages is to the side of the barn
