Description

A striking five-bedroom barn conversion, with light-filled interiors, flexible family living, generous gardens and far-reaching countryside views. Brooklands is a substantial contemporary barn conversion in the rural hamlet of Bushley Green surrounded by a broad sweep of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire countryside. Completed in 2019, the house was created by the current owners from an old agricultural building on their land, retaining the long, low character of the original footprint whilst introducing vaulted spaces, generous glazing and a distinctly modern way of living. The home is arranged predominantly across the ground floor, with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living room, a separate sitting room, home office and practical service spaces. Upstairs, there are two bedroom suites located alongside a galleried landing that works equally well as a games room or quieter retreat. At the front of the house, the former pigsty has been absorbed into the conversion to form a substantial, characterful sitting room. Its proportions are generous, its outlook is broad and the Maestro gas fire provides a strong contemporary focal point. The current owners use this room as a cinema space, a role that makes good sense: it feels comfortably removed from the busiest part of the house yet remains closely connected to the central hall. Triple-aspect views are a particular feature here, reaching across fields towards Bredon Hill and the Cotswold escarpment. The larger open-plan living space at the rear has a different rhythm. Here, the kitchen, dining and sitting areas share one expansive room, with bi-fold doors opening the interior to the garden and fields beyond. It's a sociable home, the scale allows each area to hold its own identity, whilst the second Maestro gas fire brings warmth and focus to the sitting end. Remote-controlled day and night blinds, extensive glazing and the south-westerly outlook allow the room to change character with the seasons. The kitchen is the current owners' favourite space, largely for the view across the garden to the open fields beyond. Fitted out by Parlour Farm Kitchens, it combines painted cabinetry with quartz worktops and a large central island, creating a generous working space at the centre of the room. An electric Aga anchors the cooking area, whilst the island forms a natural point for food preparation, informal entertaining, breakfast, and overseeing children doing their homework. This is a kitchen designed to be part of the day rather than screened from it. The dining table sits comfortably between the working kitchen and the garden doors, with the living area beyond, so a quiet breakfast and a full house are handled with equal ease. Practical the heart of the home rooms sit close by: a separate laundry room, boot room and guest cloakroom, together with direct access outside. This arrangement keeps the open-plan room composed whilst giving the house the storage and working space a rural family home needs. A dedicated home office sits just off the kitchen and living room, providing a useful degree of separation without feeling remote from the rest of the house. Its position beside the rear entrance and boot room also makes it practical for anyone who receives occasional visitors or works flexibly from home. Upstairs, the galleried landing is far more than a circulation space.t offers room for games, reading, study or as an informal sitting area, and gives access to extensive fitted cupboards and walk in attic storage. The current owners describe the upper storage area as fully lit, with no ladder required, and the roof is well insulated. This is the sort of quietly useful space that allows the main rooms to remain orderly. Three bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor allowing Brooklands to also work particularly well for multi-generational living. The principal bedroom is dual aspect, with fitted wardrobes and a well-proportioned en suite bathroom containing both a bath and separate shower. Two further double bedrooms share the family shower room and are arranged together beyond the entrance hall. The two double bedrooms on the first floor, each have their own en suite shower rooms. Bedroom four is especially generous and includes fitted wardrobe storage, whilst bedroom five sits beside the galleried landing. The arrangement gives guests or older children a floor with a real sense of independence, without separating them completely from the life of the house below. The bathrooms were installed as part of the 2019 conversion and include Harvey George cabinetry, Beswick Stone tiling and fittings sourced from Victorian Plumbing, with Farrow & Ball paint colours used in the scheme. The result is cohesive and contemporary, with practical layouts and good water pressure.
