“A fantastic feature of the house is some very high ceilings; the main bedroom ceiling has a height of fourteen feet and the morning sunshine fills the room with light.”

“The property is surrounded by tall, well-established, trees and feels very private and coupled with the rolling countryside and excellent views this is a lovely place in which to live.”

“Over the years we have hosted disco nights and covered over the pool to provide a dance floor and entertainment facilities. We have happy memories of family celebrations, neighbourhood gatherings and numerous fund-raising events for various organisations.”

“The property has a wealth of storage space including a large walk-in cupboard, 3 other spacious cupboards and vast loft storage.”

Barnt Green encapsulates an intoxicating mix of accessibility and lifestyle in a village that retains a timeless charm. In fact a recent article in the Sunday Times (November 2016) was quoted as saying ‘when considering the best villages in the Uk to live ‘Barnt Green, just south of Birmingham, can rightly consider itself a cut above: it is hundreds of feet above sea level in the Lickey Hills, known as “little Switzerland”. The village has fashion boutiques, a good butcher and great schools, and you can zip to the city centre or the airport on the motorway in 30 minutes’. This thriving settlement, established as a result of the coming of the railways during the reign of Queen Victoria, has evolved as a result of its wonderful setting in the hills of North Worcestershire and its proximity for easy commuting to Birmingham and a range of important commercial centres within central England. The village is now blessed with a full range of local amenities, including a bustling shopping area, destination pubs and sports and recreational facilities. Barnt Green gives its name to both a long established cricket club and sailing club, and the excellent Blackwell Golf Club is also close by.

On the edge of Barnt Green lies the Lickey Hills, a haven for wildlife and stunning woodland this 524 acre park offers the most wonderful recreation area for all the family. With a golf course, children’s park and fabulous walks across Lickey Ridge, Beacon Hill and the hilltops, this is an area of outstanding natural beauty for all to enjoy.

In addition to the “Cross-City” railway line (Redditch to Lichfield, via Birmingham Grand Central) and the Birmingham to Worcester line, the village is strategically positioned for ready access to the motorway network – this enables fast onward travel to London and the South East and Birmingham International Airport, now an internationally recognised hub for travel to most major European cities as well as Asia and North America.

The property is only a short drive away from high street shopping and recreational facilities. Retail destinations within easy reach include central Birmingham, Solihull (Touchwood Shopping Centre), Worcester and Cheltenham. If education is a priority the village has a sought after primary school, St Andrews Church of England, from where children can progress to secondary schooling within the Bromsgrove District. The ease of access to the railway network also makes Barnt Green village a popular family location for those seeking access to the independent schools sector with children travelling daily to Worcester (King’s School Worcester and Royal Grammar School), Bromsgrove (Bromsgrove School) and Birmingham (The Schools of King Edward IV).
