Description

High above the village of Wixford, on the historic Oversley Castle Estate, sits this extraordinary 15th-century Tudor barn, meticulously restored and converted into a striking four-bedroom home. Once owned by Thomas Cromwell, chief minister to Henry VIII, this former agricultural building is now a thoughtfully modernised home with breathtaking views across five counties. Set behind electric gates on a private estate, the barn unfolds over three storeys and is full of character, with original timber beams, vaulted ceilings, and generous proportions throughout. A three-storey entrance hall makes a dramatic first impression and leads to four reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen, and expansive windows that frame the surrounding countryside. The kitchen features a large central island, Siemens Studioline appliances, and twin Quooker taps.The interiors strike a balance between old and new, with a contemporary palette that lets the building's heritage shine through. Modern upgrades include Heatmiser underfloor heating, Tewke intelligent lighting controls, air-conditioning in the bedrooms and annexe, and a built-in Sonos sound system. The principal bedroom comes with its own ensuite and dressing room, while two / three further bedrooms share two additional bathrooms. A separate guest annexe offers flexible living space with its own kitchen, home office/bedroom, and shower room. Outside, a large terrace runs along the back of the house, overlooking rolling lawns and far-reaching views. There's also an enclosed courtyard with off-street parking, three storage rooms, and a double garage with an EV charging point. The estate sits just outside Alcester and within easy reach of Stratford-upon-Avon, offering access to country walks, historic pubs, and a thriving local food scene. The nearby villages of Alcester has a good range of facilities, while more extensive shopping, dining, leisure and cultural facilities can be found in the nearby town of Stratford-upon-Avon, which is home to the famous Shakespeare Theatre. Stratford-upon-Avon has an excellent range of schools including Stratford Girls Grammar School and King Edward School. The A46 and A422 are easily accessible, providing connections to the nearby M5, M42, M40 and M6. Rail services are available at Honeybourne, Stratford-upon-Avon, Worcester, Evesham and Warwick providing frequent services to Birmingham and London.
