WINNALL MILL BARN Winnall Mill Barn is a substantial semi-detached barn conversion with excellent equestrian facilities, stunning views and gardens, all set within approximately 3 acres of land.

Seller Insight The present owners of this stunning family home have lived here since 2004 when it was exquisitely converted from a

granary barn, into a spacious home in a magical setting. Originally built around the 1850s, it is located at the top of Lincomb Ridge, above the Severn Valley with views overlooking the River Severn, Abberley Hill and beyond. When the owners purchased the property, they were informed that the beautiful round windows in three of the rooms were to encourage owls.

The owners fell in love with the large, airy, rooms, traditional high ceilings and other unique features which had been carefully preserved by the builder whilst, at the same time, adding more contemporary fixtures such as the Clear View log burner in the lounge, and an electric range in the modern kitchen. New bi-fold doors were fitted last year which provides a seamless transition from house to garden and makes the most of the fabulous views.

The owners state that coming to live here was a total change of lifestyle for them, and they have loved every second of their time here. A fabulous environment for children; stunningly beautiful, peaceful and tranquil, combined with a safe and healthy environment.

Tucked away in the heart of the countryside and yet there is a wealth of amenities all within easy reach. Sytchampton and Ombersley have excellent primary schools, with both Droitwich and Worcester offering a wide choice of education opportunities. There is an abundance of sport and recreation facilities in the area which includes equestrian pursuits, fishing and golf with large sports centres within a ten to fifteen minute drive away.

The amazing garden and 2.5 acre paddock are surrounded by fields; it is such a pleasure to enjoy outside dining or relaxing listening and observing the wildlife, or savouring the fabulous, panoramic, outlook.

It is a home ideal for entertaining as the rooms are all well proportioned with a sociable flow from the kitchen to dining hall, and reception room and to the external decked area where many family parties have been held over the years.*

OutsideThe main garden is accessed via the bi-fold doors in the sitting room leading to a lovely decked terrace with glass balustrade where you can enjoy stunning views over the Severn Valley. Gravel and stone pathways lead to a central pergola which is an impressive feature of the garden, covered in wisteria, clematis and roses, flanked by lawns and herbaceous borders on both sides. There is also a lovely summerhouse which is available by separate negotiation.

An oak framed English Heritage style garage provides parking for two vehicles, as well as good storage above, where mains electric and water are connected. To the side of the garage there is also a chicken shed and wood store. The long gravel driveway provides additional parking for many vehicles, and is bordered by shrubs and lawn, and in front of the property there is a particularly attractive stone raised bed with lavender and another wood store. Lawns have been fitted with wiring for a Robo Mower.

The separate paddock (approx. 2.5 acres) has two stables, a feed store, and a tool shed, and again has mains electric and water connected with a good lighting system.

Winnall Mill Barn is situated in the rural hamlet of Lincomb, just a stones throw away from Lincomb Equestrian Centre and the very sought after Sytchampton Primary School. The nearest village being Ombersley, which is one of the most charming villages in Worcestershire. The first known reference to the village was the granting of a Charter to Abbot Egwin, later Saint Egwin, of Evesham Abbey in 706 AD. Ombersley was part of the Royal forest until 1229. The forest gives the village its name. The village boasts a whole host of amenities including butchers shop, delicatessen, doctors surgery, primary school, parish church and post office together with many public houses and restaurants.
