Description

Grade II listed farmhouse in a private and tranquil village setting with a detached annexe and around six acres of grounds. Old House Farm stands in the Worcestershire village of Naunton Beauchamp, in a discreet and private setting. Dating from the early seventeenth century, this Grade II listed former farmhouse is timber-framed beneath a tiled roof. It's distinctive black and white elevations give the house an immediate sense of history. The main house extends to approximately 1,948 sq ft of accommodation, with four bedrooms and three individual reception rooms. A detached one-bedroom annexe adds another 650 sq ft, whilst the garage, workshop and extensive carport bring the total floor area to approximately 3,368 sq ft. Beyond lies a particularly useful collection of stables and smaller outbuildings, set within approximately six acres in total. The architecture is rich in character, yet the layout of the house is highly practical for contemporary living with generous living accommodation and plenty of space to work from home. The approach is through gates onto a broad gravelled drive, where the main house, annexe and outbuildings form an attractive, loosely arranged courtyard. Mature trees soften the boundaries and provide a rural backdrop, whilst the historic character of the architecture immediately sets the tone. The farmhouse is of early seventeenth-century timber-framed construction with gabled dormers, casement windows and a tiled roof. The entrance opens into a central hall, with the staircase rising ahead and the principal reception rooms arranged around it. The arrival feels homely and welcoming. This is a house full of character features, that has evolved naturally over four centuries of family life. Three impressive reception rooms give the ground floor both flexibility and space for all the family. At approximately 15 ft by 15 ft 5 in, the study offers a great home office, with an open fire and views out to the garden. It could work equally well as a library or family room. The principal sitting room is the largest reception space, extending to approximately 20 ft 5 in by 14 ft 2 in. Exposed timbers and a fireplace bring warmth and texture, whilst French doors provide a direct connection with the garden. Its scale allows for comfortable everyday living as well as for larger gatherings with family and friends. The dining room sits beyond, forming a natural link between the sitting room and kitchen. Well proportioned and having windows on two sides, it is ideal for dinner parties without feeling detached from the rest of the house. The kitchen is a substantial room of approximately 21 ft 7 in by 12 ft 2 in. Granite work surfaces provide generous preparation space, whilst the Firebird oil-fired range cooker, which was installed in 2020, also serves the main house's heating system. Further appliances include a two-zone induction hob and an Indesit microwave oven. A wood burner, installed in 2021, gives the room a particularly welcoming feel. There is space for informal dining, and doors to the outside make the kitchen practical for accessing the outside space as much as for cooking and entertaining. The adjoining utility room provides a practical space and incorporates a downstairs cloakroom. The staircase rises to a large central landing, from which the four bedrooms and a family bathroom are arranged. The principal bedroom with an ensuite shower room occupies one end of the house and measures approximately 15 ft 5 in by 13 ft 3 in. Its windows draw in views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. Three further bedrooms provide useful flexibility for family and guests. A family bathroom serves these rooms and includes a bath and separate shower. Exposed beams, changing ceiling lines and the outlook across the countryside retain the character of the house upstairs. Standing away from the main house, the annexe is a particular feature of Old House Farm. Arranged over two floors and extending to approximately 650 sq ft, it has an open-plan living area with a kitchen on the ground floor plus a large bedroom and en-suite bathroom above. The accommodation is self-contained, allowing guests or extended family to have their own front door and a degree of independence.
