A charming country retreat, situated in secluded grounds of approximately 1. 6
acres, nicely located between Kinlet and Cleobury Mortimer. It boasts the most
fantastic range of diverse outbuildings, including a stone cottage and barn
with conversion potential, double garages/workshops, a stone wood store and a
four - bay carport/tractor shed.
**Description**
This country home dates back to the mid - nineteenth century. The cottage enjoys
mature grounds of circa 1. 6 acres, alongside the most impressive array of
outbuildings you are likely to see. These include double garages, workshops,
tractor sheds, a charming stone cottage with adjoining stone and wooden barn,
which are believed to predate the property by 100 years. These extensive
buildings will appeal to a wide audience as they offer a myriad of uses and
development angles. The remarkable gardens surrounding the property feature
expansive lawns, a greenhouse, a vegetable patch with raised beds and ample
space for a grass tennis court, which was previously in situ.
Those with a passion for motor vehicles will be hard - pressed to find better
storage and workshop space, while anyone with designs on creating ancillary
accommodation for relatives or an Airbnb will relish the potential here. The
main residence is a spacious three - bedroom home, featuring a large rear
extension that gives the property a particularly expansive ground floor
footprint. There is plenty of scope to add more bedrooms and increase the
square footage, subject to relevant planning permissions being sought.
The property is accessed via a country track, best approached from the
Stottesdon Road end. About halfway down, you will find the entrance to New
House Farm on the left, marked by double wooden gates that open to reveal an
extensive driveway capable of accommodating many vehicles. This driveway leads
to the garaging and other outbuildings.
From the driveway, a side porch provides access to the property and leads to
the kitchen, centered around an oil - fired Rayburn, with multi - aspect windows
that bring in plenty of natural light. The kitchen features matching wall and
base units, a dishwasher and an electric oven with a gas hob above. For those
desiring a larger kitchen, there is ample scope to increase the space, either
by extending to the rear or knocking through into the adjoining room.
The room adjacent to the kitchen is multi - functional and can be used for
dining, sitting or as an office. It boasts a window to the front aspect and a
doorway to an inner hallway leading to the rest of the ground floor
accommodation.
This inner hallway features a large storage cupboard, stairs rising to the
first floor and doors leading to the main living room, snug and WC.
There is a fantastic living room which is a wonderfully spacious and
characterful area, featuring a lofty beamed ceiling, arched gothic - style
windows overlooking the grounds and a door flowing nicely onto the rear
terrace. This room also benefits from a large fireplace housing a wood burner,
wall lights, wood flooring and a glazed door accessing an adjoining
conservatory.
The UPVC double - glazed conservatory is generously sized and leads out to the
formal gardens.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of the downstairs is a cosy snug centered around
an Inglenook fireplace with an inset wood burner. It also features wood
flooring and panelling, with a glazed door providing access to the gardens.
A good - sized cloakroom/WC with plumbing for a washing machine completes the
ground floor accommodation.
First floor
On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom accessed
via the landing, which is brightened by three windows and includes a useful
airing cupboard housing the boiler.
Bedrooms one and two are spacious double rooms, both featuring fitted
wardrobes/storage and windows overlooking the grounds.
Bedroom three is another double room with a Velux skylight and a loft hatch
accessing the roof space.
The bedrooms are serviced by a first - floor family bathroom featuring a
panelled bath with a shower above, a pedestal washbasin, a low - level WC, a
heated towel rail and a Velux skylight.
Gardens and grounds
The grounds of New House Farm are extensive and beautifully planted with a
myriad of native and exotic trees, including silver birch, oak and fruit
trees, as well as acers, to name but a few. This stands as a testament to the
owner's passion and vision for this fantastic outdoor space. Spanning
approximately 1. 6 acres and offering complete privacy, the grounds envelop the
property on all sides, featuring formal gardens and expansive lawns, with
ample space to house a grass tennis court as was previously in situ. Alongside
the cottage, a raised stone terrace borders the side and rear, creating an
ideal spot for al fresco dining, surrounded by stone - walled boundaries.
Additionally, there's a sheltered gravel seating area covered by a pergola and
another decking area.
Steps lead down from the terrace to extensive lawns interspersed with an
impressive selection of mature trees, including Japanese acer, eucalyptus and
sycamore, among others. Tucked behind the stone cottage and barn is a large
and secluded vegetable patch with a polytunnel and raised beds. There is also
a useful greenhouse included within the grounds.
Outbuildings
The outbuildings present a promising prospect, offering numerous possibilities
for both development and storage. Directly opposite the cottage and accessible
from the driveway are three sections of interlinked double garages/workshops.
All of them feature wooden double doors, providing ample space for housing
vehicles of various types. These spaces will undoubtedly appeal to those with
a passion for keeping and working on vehicles and machinery.
Adjacent to the garages is a detached stone cottage and adjoining stone and
wooden barn, both reportedly dating back to the mid - seventeenth century. This
presents an exciting opportunity for development, as the impressive
outbuildings are ideal for conversion into self - contained accommodation,
perfect for an Airbnb or for housing dependent relatives. The stone cottage
and barn are two storeys in part and consist of a combination of stone, brick
and timber.
Opposite the stone cottage and barn stands another characterful stone
outbuilding, comprising two parts currently used as a wood store and a tool
shed. Beyond this, nicely tucked away at the far end of the driveway, are two
extensive outbuildings. One serves as a four - bay carport/tractor shed, ideal
for storing various machinery and vehicles. Finally, there is a substantial
building made of stone, brick and timber, once again offering a vast amount of
storage and/or workshop space.
**Location**
New House Farm enjoys a wonderful rural setting, perfect for those seeking a
tranquil lifestyle surrounded by nature. Baveney Wood is a leafy hillside
housing a small collection of cottages and homesteads, each nicely spaced out
to provide privacy and seclusion for every property. Despite the distinctly
rural feel of this location, it is not remote. The villages of Kinlet and
Stottesdon are only 1. 9 and 3. 6 miles away respectively, both offering
convenient amenities such as country pubs and primary schools.
Cleobury Mortimer, the nearest town, is less than 3 miles away, providing a
broader range of services, including a larger Co - op store, numerous smaller
shops and cafes, as well as many pubs and restaurants. The town also features
a medical centre and the well - respected Lacon Childe school, which at the time
of writing, holds a 'good' Ofsted report.
Baveney Wood is an excellent location for those who desire peace, tranquility
and direct access to the great outdoors. From this spot, numerous places are
easily accessible, with rights of way and bridleways leading in all directions
through neighboring countryside to local beauty spots such as the Wyre Forest
Nature Reserve, Severn Valley and Clee Hills.
