Martley, Worcester, WR6

Set right in the heart of one of Worcestershire’s most popular villages, The Old Granary is a beautifully presented Grade II listed barn conversion offering a brilliant blend of character, light and surprisingly versatile space.

The property is entered via a side door. The original flagstone and blue brick staircase rises into a welcoming reception hall with a cloakroom/WC. From here, the sitting room immediately sets the tone: exposed beams and timbers, a wood-burning stove, and a Juliet balcony at first-floor level framing views over the garden and the tree line beyond.

The kitchen is arranged in a practical galley style and links naturally through to a mezzanine level currently used as an impressive dining space, with exposed brickwork and plenty of atmosphere. A staircase then drops down to a large vaulted living room, flooded with natural light from roof lights and full-height glazing. Double doors open onto the decked terrace, making this a wonderful room for everyday living, entertaining or, as the current owners enjoy, a studio or hobby space thanks to the quality of light throughout the day.

A large utility/storage area sits neatly to the rear, and a centrally positioned staircase leads up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms, served by a family bathroom and an en suite shower room to the principal bedroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly good double with a dual aspect.

Outside, the gardens are a real highlight. A decked seating area is ideal for alfresco dining, while a picket gate leads through to a productive kitchen garden with greenhouse and growing space. Parking is well catered for, with a designated space by the garden gates, visitor parking, and a single garage (with two spaces in front) en bloc with useful storage above.

Martley is well known for its strong community, countryside walks and excellent schooling, including The Chantry School and Martley CofE Primary nearby.
Village amenities include a shop and Post Office, and popular spots such as The Crown at Martley and the community-run Tap & Run bar at the cricket club.
