Twatling Farm is a superb example of a detached Grade II Listed character residence, dating back in parts to the 17th Century. The original farmhouse was extended in 1912 by the renowned Birmingham Arts & Crafts architect C E Bateman. Twatling Farm is probably the oldest residence in the area, and is also celebrated in a stained glass window of Lickey Parish Church. This Worcestershire County Historic Farmstead was listed in 1999 by English Heritage for its special architectural & historic interest, and has one of the earliest barn conversions.
Viewing of this unique home is essential to appreciate the character features such as the fireplaces, the exposed beams, leaded windows and quarry tiled floors - as well as the much larger than expected accommodation which amounts to 4931 square feet (including the boiler room & garage)
Stepping inside to the ENTRANCE HALL, it is easy to see the space and character offered throughout this fine family home. The hall opens to the LIBRARY, and also to the main full turn staircase. Radiating off the entrance hall are the DRAWING ROOM,KITCHEN & SNUG and the FORMAL DINING ROOM. The DRAWINGROOM is a delightful room with a feature brick fireplace having the provision for an open fire, and the character is enhanced further by the exposed beams and oak flooring. The SITTING ROOM can be found off the DINING ROOM, and both rooms feature a brick fireplace with the provision for an open fire and have leaded glazed windows. The BREAKFAST KITCHEN & adjoining SNUG are a most welcoming family area. A most useful WALK-IN PANTRY serves the kitchen and provides space and plumbing for appliances. Completing the extensive ground floor living accommodation are two CLOAKROOMS with W.C.
The space, charm and character continues upstairs and is first evident in the GALLERIED LANDING with its exposed beams and leaded glazed windows. The MASTER BEDROOM SUITE incorporates a dressing area in addition to a walk-in wardrobe and is served by an EN SUITE BATHROOM.
BEDROOMS TWO to FIVE are all served by the HOUSE BATHROOM, and there is an additional separate WC. BEDROOM SIX has an attractive leaded stained glass window and is served by a generous DRESSING ROOM/EN SUITE.
OUTSIDE, there is a BLUE BRICK COURTYARD with cold tap, exterior power point, access to the front, and a gate to the REAR GARDEN which is mainly laid to lawn and there is an original well and outside carriage lanterns. There is a courtyard to the side of the property where there is an outside store and GARDENERS WC. Accessible from both outside and in is a BOILER ROOM/WORKSHOP, and the ample parking facilities are enhanced by the DOUBLE GARAGE which has power and lighting, exterior tap to the front, and double doors to the rear garden.
