Seamlessly combining its’ charming rustic character with all the modern requirements of a comfortable 21st-century life, Priory Barn is a superb two-storey barn conversion sitting in semi-rural tranquillity on the edge of Malvern.
Nestled within the small village of Newland, on a quiet no through lane just off the A449 between Malvern and Worcester, this thoughtfully converted country home extends to more than 4,000 sq ft of light, bright and flexible space – it’s just perfect for a family with extensive, mostly open-plan living on the ground floor spanning 56ft in total, four good-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, and approaching half-an-acre of beautifully designed and tended gardens.
In walled seclusion and meticulously maintained, the gardens of Priory Barn are a veritable sun-trap and feature everything from manicured lawns, patios and well-stocked borders to raised vegetable boxes, a rose garden, pretty arbour and a variety of trees and greenery. This stunning outdoor space is perfect for every kind of activity from children kicking balls to family barbecues or entertaining.
Also in the grounds, a possible improvement opportunity presents itself in a brick-built studio with WC which is attached to the garage and workshop – subject to the relevant planning consents, this could easily be converted into a home office or ‘granny’ annexe. Surrounded by the picturesque countryside of the Malverns, it might also possibly lend itself as an AirBnB-style holiday let.
Loads of luxurious space
The front door is surrounded by double-height glass and opens into the impressively light and airy 12x12ft entrance hall which features identical glazing and a door to the back garden on the opposite wall. With beamed ceilings, engineered wood underfoot and an elegant white staircase sweeping up to the first floor, the entrance is neatly delineated from the carpeted sitting room and dining room which flow open-plan to the right and left respectively, creating a modern and comfortable hub to the home.
There’s plenty of space to relax in the 18x28ft sitting room, which becomes a warm and cosy haven in the winter with the Living Flame gas fire alight. It’s inset into a feature brick wall with attractive exposed timbers, tiled hearth and alcove shelving. Whether watching TV, reading a book or just enjoying a well-earned after-work G&T, it’s a lovely double-aspect room.
On the other side of the entrance hall, the dining room is also generously large and perfect for entertaining, for informal suppers or candlelit dinners, handily adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room. Further roof beams and wall timbers add period refinement.
At around 17ft square, the adjoining kitchen is sure to be the beating heart of everyday life with a big central island and bar stools for quick breakfasts or for the children to do their homework while the cook gets busy at the Rangemaster stove with ceramic hob. There’s a cosy farmhouse feel and lots of storage in the white cabinetry with granite worktops while a wall of windows above the Belfast sink overlooks the rose garden – pretty as a picture in the summer.
And so to bed . .
From the entrance hall the stairs rise to the beautiful vaulted landing, glazed on both sides and used by the current owners as a study area. It forks to the left and right, offering further attractive and useful space. A Juliet balcony to the right is an additional feature.
Enjoying westerly views to the Malvern hills from another Juliet balcony, the vaulted ceiling of the principal bedroom and the enviable amount of space (20x18ft) can’t fail to impress. It’s a grown-up haven of peace, perfect for some ‘me’ time and restful sleep. It’s complete with an en-suite bathroom and a big walk-in airing cupboard that provides valuable storage space.
There are three further generously proportioned bedrooms, one with a small en-suite shower room, plus a lovely family bathroom with both bath tub and shower cubicle.
Glorious gardens
The gardens of Priory Barn are the epitomy of ‘glorious’, a sweeping panorama of sheer loveliness with something to view, enjoy and potter around throughout the year. To the rear of the entrance hall the garden faces south-east and there’s a huge expanse of lawn bordered by paving next to the house and raised flower borders on the remaining three sides, all enclosed by brick walls so it’s quiet and completely safe for children to play.
Walking round to the front of the barn and past the double car port with adjoining garden workshop and the previously mentioned studio with WC and verandah, accesses the remainder of this stunning garden and features another big lawn, raised vegetable boxes and a vine and rose-entwined arbour – a beautiful shady spot for sundowners or al fresco suppers.
This life-enhancing garden has various spots to make the most of the sunshine at different times of the day and is a particularly enviable feature of the great outdoors at Priory Barn.
Round and about
Walking, cycling and riding the spectacular landscape of the Malvern hills – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – is a pleasure and there’s endless footpaths and countryside to explore. Priory Barn is close to Newland Common and the popular Swan Inn pub – perfect for walking the dog followed up by a drink and a meal.
Shopping options are numerous with nearby Malvern Shopping Park offering a Morrison’s supermarket, Marks & Spencer, Next, Boots and more. Waitrose is located ten minutes away in Great Malvern where the town centre plays host to a wide range of independent boutiques, restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and the renowned Malvern Theatre.
Education is always a priority for families and some of the country’s finest state and independent schools are found in Malvern and Worcester. The nearest primary schools, Leigh & Bransford and Powick CE, are both just over a mile from Priory Barn and both Ofsted-rated ‘outstanding’ while the local secondary schools are Dyson Perrins Academy and The Chase, both rated ‘good’. Excellent private schools include Malvern St James and Malvern College while, in Worcester, there’s The King’s School and the Royal Grammar School.
Superb road and rail links are a big plus when choosing to put down roots, making Malvern a front runner! Great Malvern and Malvern Link train stations are only a few minutes away with direct links to Worcester (10 minutes), Birmingham (1 hour) and London Paddington (2 hours 15 mins). Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stratford-upon-Avon, Broadway, Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham are all readily accessible from the M5.
