talbots
Grafton Lane | Upton Warren | Bromsgrove
“Talbots is a Grade II Listed barn that has stood the test of time. My parents were immediately delighted by the rustic charm and unique appointment of this superbly renovated barn conversion, which has easy access to the essential local market-town amenities of Bromsgrove, and the M40, M5 and M42 motorways. Talbots was an inspired purchase, and exudes a profound sense of country ease and tranquility. The manageable gardens seamlessly blend into the exquisite 360-degree panorama of understated rural Worcestershire beauty, with the distant Malverns to the South-West evocative of a bygone era.�
The entrance hall is spacious and bright due to a large glass frontage. The lounge is extremely spacious with wooden beams and an LPG fired burner that is set into a fireplace with exposed brickwork, making a lovely focal point. “The lounge is a fantastic size and perfect for large family get-togethers. The house lends itself to socialising, with its large atrium and open spaces, which need really to be seen to be appreciated.�
The room has views to the front and rear gardens with double doors providing access to the garden. There is a separate good sized dining room with wooden beams. “The rustic vista to the front and the southern view to the Malverns, the external brickwork and exposed beams with their original Roman numeral markings, and the flood of light to the front atrium offer a sense of timeless pastoral English lifestyle and serenity. Talbots is named after a family branch of the Earls of Shrewsbury, who owned Grafton Manor in the early sixteenth century.�
