Astley, Stourport-On-Severn, DY13 0SQ

An immaculate three-bedroom barn conversion offering breathtaking views across Larford Lakes and the surrounding countryside. This exceptional home perfectly blends timeless character with modern comfort, creating a truly inviting and stylish living space. Further enhancing its appeal, the property benefits from lapsed planning permission (2016) for a single-storey extension, presenting an opportunity to expand and further elevate an already impressive residence.

Location:
Enjoying the best of both worlds, this property combines picturesque views across rural Worcestershire with convenient access to nearby towns. Astley Church of England Primary School and the highly regarded Chantry High School are both within catchment, alongside a selection of excellent independent schools, including The Royal Grammar School and King’s School. The parish of Astley itself offers a post office, convenience shop, veterinary practice, and a traditional village pub. Despite its tranquil setting, the property remains well connected, with excellent road and rail links. The M5 motorway is easily accessible at Junctions 5 and 6 (approximately 12 and 13 miles respectively), while nearby rail services provide connections to Birmingham, Worcester, and a direct route to London Marylebone.
