Situated in the charming hamlet of Bournheath, Housmans Barn presents a noteworthy four double bedroom barn conversion that has been thoughtfully extended over the years. This property stands on approximately 1.15 acres of private grounds, offering an exceptional opportunity for a family residence with significant renovation potential. With rich historical ties to poet A. E. Housman, this home exudes character and period charm. The property features a tarmac driveway leading to an integral garage and offers ample off-road parking, all within a discreet setting framed by mature trees for added privacy.
Upon entering through an enclosed porch, you'll find a welcoming guest WC leading into the heart of this expansive home. The lounge impresses with its vaulted ceiling, skylights, exposed beams, and a minstrel’s gallery, complemented by a cosy wood-burning stove. Accessible from the lounge is a formal dining room and the garage, while the country-style kitchen/diner boasts an Everhot electric range cooker and extensive work surfaces flowing into a utility space.
A spacious study or additional reception area leads to a remarkable second sitting room created from the former cowshed—featuring vaulted ceilings and original timbers—providing tremendous scope for personalisation or further enhancement.
The first floor is accessible via two separate staircases and hosts three well-proportioned double bedrooms along with a large family bathroom suite outfitted with both bathtub and shower enclosure. Outside, the garden stands out as an exceptional feature with tiered lawns, garden store, and a fully powered workshop that meets modern building standards but also holds conversion potential for additional accommodation.
The grounds allow for private woodland walks alongside cultivated areas with fruit trees—a perfect canvas for any gardening enthusiast looking to develop further or create unique outdoor spaces.
Bournheath offers semi-rural living close to necessary amenities while maintaining easy access to major road links such as M5 and M42—ideal for commuters looking towards Birmingham city centre.
