Located in the picturesque rural hamlet of Bournheath, Housmans Barn offers a substantial four-bedroom barn conversion with extensive renovation potential. The property, which has been thoughtfully extended over the years, retains significant period features while providing a spacious family home on approximately 1.15 acres of private grounds. The history of the area adds character, given its connection to poet A.E. Housman.
The driveway offers ample off-road parking and leads to an integral garage, with mature trees ensuring privacy from the lane. Inside, the home welcomes you via an enclosed porch leading to a guest WC and into the expansive lounge characterized by a vaulted ceiling with skylights and exposed beams. From here, access is available to both a formal dining area and an integrated garage.
The kitchen/diner is equipped with an Everhot electric range cooker and ample work surfaces; this area seamlessly connects to a utility space and flows into a large study or reception room that steps up to a stunning second sitting room—an addition that boasts original features from its former life as a cowshed.
The ground floor includes a generously sized bedroom with en-suite facilities, while the first floor encompasses three additional spacious double bedrooms alongside a sizeable family bathroom.
Externally, the garden provides tiered lawns, a characterful patio perfect for entertaining, and impressive outbuildings—including a fully powered workshop built to high standards—offering additional possibilities for conversion into living spaces or studios. The outdoor space features diverse landscaping including natural woodland paths and an orchard of dwarf fruit trees.
Bournheath offers semi-rural living close to essential amenities while maintaining easy access to major road networks for commuting into Birmingham and beyond. This property presents itself not only as an inviting family home but also as an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest in further development in this charming village setting.
