Astwood Lane, Astwood Bank, Worcestershire, UK – Fine & Country – Martin Grant and Rachel Hyde

Set back down a quiet country lane, just a short stroll from Astwood Bank village centre, Inglenook Farm is a delightfully charming three storey, four bedroom character farmhouse and fabulous separate fully fitted one bedroom annexe all sitting within circa 1.2 acres of beautiful gardens with unspoilt open countryside views.

Inglenook Farm, a character farmhouse dating back to 1937, has been lovingly maintained and underwent a complete renovation in the early 1980s. In 1988, a garage and stable block were added, later being transformed into a fabulous contemporary separate annexe. The main residence retains original features, including exposed wall and ceiling timbers, cornicing, and exposed brickwork in some rooms.

This charming and spacious home features an entrance hall, a dining room with a fireplace, a lounge with additional fireplace, a dual aspect sitting room offering garden and field views, and access to the beautiful grounds. The country-style breakfast kitchen includes a range cooker, with a utility room, downstairs WC, and a lean-to. Heading upstairs to the first floor landing you’ll find two bright and spacious double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom. On the top floor, there’s a fourth double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and exposed ceiling beams.

The separate annexe offers open-plan living, including a breakfast kitchen with an excellent range of floor and wall-mounted cabinets, built-in appliances, and a living room with a feature fireplace. There is a spacious double bedroom with a generous walk-in wardrobe and a well-appointed bathroom with a modern suite and a double shower. The Annexe has its own private enclosed garden, complete with a large, covered terrace and a gravelled courtyard. Connected to the annexe is a double garage with stairs leading to the first floor, where a substantial storage area offers potential for further conversion (STPP).

Outside
The property sits behind a private gated entrance leading to a sweeping gravelled driveway offering generous parking for multiple vehicles. There is mature hedging, trees, and shrubbery to the front, creating a pretty ornamental fore garden. The property very much sits within its plot, with outdoor space wrapping around three sides of Inglenook Farm offering circa 1.2 acres of beautiful formal and cottage gardens. The property’s spacious lawn is adorned with mature trees and shrubs, complemented by low wooden fencing that forms a natural, unobstructed boundary, revealing open fields and unspoiled views. Multiple terraces at the rear of the property offer a variety of options for outdoor entertainment and al fresco dining during the summer months, in this most idyllic location.
