Meadow View enjoys a wonderful position on the Worcestershire ~ Herefordshire border in the peaceful hamlet of Halesend, surrounded by fields, brooks and open countryside. This is country living at its finest: quiet lanes, birdsong mornings and footpaths beginning almost from the gate yet with excellent access to Great Malvern and wider transport links.

Just a short distance from the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within a conservation area, the location is ideal for walkers, dog owners and anyone who enjoys being outdoors. Scenic field paths, bridleways and woodland routes lead directly from the property, with The Hop Shed brewery under two miles away and the local pub around a fifteen-minute stroll.

Great Malvern offers a comprehensive range of amenities including shops, banks, Waitrose, a theatre and cinema, Splash leisure pool and gym, Manor Park Sports Club, and two mainline railway stations with direct services to London and Birmingham. Worcester, Cheltenham, Hereford and Gloucester are all easily reached, with fast access to the M5 and Worcester Parkway for rapid rail connections. This makes Meadow View a strong option for those looking to work from home with superfast fibre, while also retaining the ability to commute into key cities when required.

Cradley village provides immediate essentials with a shop, primary school, GP surgery and pharmacy. Hospital care is easily accessible, with facilities in both Worcester and Hereford within comfortable reach. The wider area includes the characterful market towns of Ledbury, Hereford and Worcester, offering independent shops, dining, cultural events and festivals. Further afield, Cheltenham and the North Cotswolds are around forty minutes away, with Hay-on-Wye and Ludlow also within reach for weekend outings.

Meadow View offers a rare balance: rural calm and doorstep walks, combined with modern connectivity and convenient commuter links.

Meadow View Barn offers stylish and contemporary living across two floors, blending modern comfort with rustic character through exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and thoughtful design. The layout flows beautifully, filled with natural light, and has been finished with care to create a versatile home suited to a range of lifestyles. Traditional features sit comfortably alongside modern conveniences, with open countryside views that enhance the calm and welcoming feel throughout.
The barn provides three bedrooms, an open plan living/kitchen/dining space, study, family bathroom and en-suite. Positioned privately at the corner of a quiet courtyard, the property benefits from two off-road parking spaces and a gated entrance leading to the low-maintenance private courtyard terrace (described separately).

A solid timber door opens into the main hub of the home, a spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen area with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and oak flooring. The sitting area centres around a wood-burning stove, creating a warm focal point for everyday living and entertaining. Underfloor heating runs through the ground floor living space, separated into three controllable zones for year-round comfort, offering both efficiency and convenience.

The kitchen is finished to a high standard with modern cabinetry, worktop and pelmet lighting, bespoke overhead lighting and built-in appliances including a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and Bosch oven, grill and electric hob with extractor. Velux windows add further natural light and frame attractive countryside views, an enjoyable backdrop for cooking or hosting.

From the rear hallway, doors lead to the main bedroom, bedroom two and the family bathroom. The main bedroom features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, plenty of built-in storage including two fitted wardrobes with shelving and hanging rails, and sensored ambient lighting. The en-suite is fully tiled and fitted with a walk-in rainfall shower, countertop basin and modern black fixtures.

The second bedroom also features oak flooring and offers space for a double bed or a double with a pull-out bed, or could alternatively serve as a downstairs office or nursery. A full wall of bespoke push-to-open wardrobes provides excellent storage with shelving, integrated lighting and organised compartments. A bespoke sliding barn door enhances the charm and character of the barn, and a double-glazed window overlooks the private courtyard.

The family bathroom, located close to the second bedroom, includes a wall-mounted basin and a fully tiled shower enclosure with a waterfall setting.
All internal ground-floor walls are stud construction, offering flexibility to adapt or reconfigure the layout if desired, and the oak flooring runs seamlessly throughout the space.

A staircase leads to the first-floor mezzanine, currently arranged as a home office with a separate yoga/reading/dressing area, finished with high-quality sisal carpets. This floor could be opened into a larger bedroom if required. Exposed beams and Velux roof windows welcome natural light and offer countryside views, with heating supplied by a radiator from the oil-fired central system.
The property benefits from superfast fibre-optic broadband via Gigaclear, with a BT landline currently connected, and potential access to providers such as Sky, EE or Starlink if preferred. Quality oak detailing continues throughout, with underfloor heating to the ground floor (three controllable zones) and oil-fired central heating to the first floor.

Outside
Meadow View Barn combines rustic character with modern comfort, offering a true low-maintenance lifestyle property for those who want countryside living without extensive grounds to maintain. Surrounded by open meadows and rural scenery, it provides peaceful outdoor space that is easy to enjoy and look after - even earning a feature on BBC's Escape to the Country, highlighting its charm and setting.

The private courtyard terrace is arranged for relaxed outdoor living and effortless hosting. A Mediterranean feel comes from the ancient fig tree and beautiful olive tree, complemented by a landscaped patio, gravelled borders, solar and uplighter lighting, and a dedicated log store. A small private wooden tool-shed is also included, ideal for storing outdoor essentials. The current secure fencing is ideal for pets and can be removed if preferred. It is an inviting space for morning coffee, evening drinks or time spent with friends - all without heavy upkeep.

Beyond the terrace, residents also benefit from a communal seating area beneath the willow tree - a pleasant spot for picnics, reading or meeting neighbours. Visitor parking is located here, along with a swing for added charm, and shared shed storage suitable for bicycles or other equipment.

For dog walkers and outdoor enthusiasts, the lifestyle here is excellent. Footpaths, meadow trails and woodland walks begin right from the doorstep, with longer routes reaching towards the Malvern Hills. The Hop Shed brewery (under two miles) and the local pub are both within walking distance, ideal for a leisurely outing or relaxed weekend plan.
