5 bed detached house for sale

Harvington Hall Lane, Harvington, Kidderminster DY10

Harvington Hall Farm is a quintessentially British Grade II listed farmhouse, rich in character and steeped in history. Believed to date back to the 17th century and situated within a conservation area, the property originally comprised two cottages. Built with traditional timber framing and brick elevations, it was later extended in the Victorian era with a substantial brick-built addition, all set beneath a classic pitched tiled roof. Over the years, the home has been thoughtfully reconfigured and modernised, now offering spacious and versatile accommodation finished to a high standard with quality materials and exceptional attention to detail.

The main house features five bedrooms, four reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner, utility room, and a superb indoor leisure suite, complete with a swimming pool, gym, sauna, and changing rooms. In addition to the main residence, the property includes a converted barn annex, offering two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lounge, and kitchen/diner, all of which is perfect for guests or multigenerational living. There is also an additional one-bedroom annex and a range of useful outbuildings, offering further potential for development (subject to planning).

Set within beautiful grounds measuring approximately eight acres, the property enjoys a peaceful, rural setting directly opposite the historic Harvington Hall. This exceptional home will appeal to those who value period architecture, countryside living, and a deep connection to heritage. Harvington Hall Farm has been meticulously upgraded by the current owner, with a contemporary finish that perfectly complements its timeless character, offering a truly special opportunity to own a piece of history with all the comforts of modern living.

Set behind a traditional façade, Harvington Hall Farm offers an exceptional first impression. A maintained lawn and paved pathway lead to the distinguished front entrance, framed by mature wisteria that adds a picturesque, timeless charm. Inside, the welcoming reception hall features tiled flooring and sets the tone for the rest of the home, combining period character with a considered layout. From here, there is access to the utility room, dining room, main reception space, and the first of three staircases to the upper floor. A useful understairs cupboard provides additional storage.

Ideal for entertaining, the formal dining room accommodates a ten-seater table with ease. A gas fireplace, set within a marble surround, acts as a tasteful centrepiece and adds a sense of occasion to the space. The main reception room, currently arranged as a lounge, delivers both warmth and grandeur, with a substantial inglenook fireplace and exposed original beams. This space connects to the second staircase, kitchen diner, snug, a versatile storage room, two cellars, and the rear gardens.

The snug, complete with a log-burning stove, offers flexibility as a playroom, reading room or informal sitting area, maintaining the home’s inviting and comfortable atmosphere. Previously used as a bar, the adjacent storage room is ideally positioned to serve as a boot room, located conveniently near one of the side entrances. Two cellars, each with approximately seven feet of head height, are accessed from the lounge.

At the heart of the home lies the beautifully modernised kitchen/diner, thoughtfully styled in a tasteful farmhouse aesthetic that complements the character of the property. This inviting space features bespoke solid wood cabinetry, a twin Belfast sink, and a striking oil-fired Aga with twin ovens and twin hotplates, perfect for both everyday cooking and entertaining. It also features the original servant bells, a nod to the home's history. A central island topped with solid granite work surfaces adds both functionality and visual appeal, while banquette-style seating, complete with an ‘l’-shaped bench, creates a warm and sociable dining area. Additional integrated appliances include a four-ring gas hob, and an electric double oven, ensuring modern convenience without compromising the traditional feel. A matching shelved larder cupboard provides excellent storage, and the entire space is finished with charming tiled flooring. An oak door leads through to the well-appointed utility room, continuing the home’s cohesive style and practical layout. From the kitchen, there is access to an additional entry hall with a cloakroom, access to the third staircase and access to the final reception room. This is a gorgeous space for a family room with double doors to the front of the house, offering views of Harvington Hall.

The first floor of Harvington Hall Farm offers a thoughtfully designed and spacious layout, comprising five generously sized bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms benefit from their own en-suite shower rooms, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. A large landing area provides additional versatility and could used as a study space, ideal for those working from home or requiring a quiet reading nook. There is also a useful built-in storage cupboard. All bedrooms are well-proportioned and individually styled, with bedroom five currently used as a dedicated dressing room, fitted with additional built-in wardrobes and a central vanity unit, making it ideal for use as a walk-in wardrobe or alternative fifth bedroom. Several bedrooms retain beautiful period features, including original cast iron fireplaces and exposed beams, adding a sense of heritage and charm to the otherwise modernised and elegant finish.

The current owners have created a luxurious main bedroom suite, which includes a beautifully crafted walk-through dressing area complete with bespoke built-in wardrobes. This leads to a stunning en-suite bathroom, finished to a high specification and featuring a freestanding bath, a large walk-in shower, contemporary sink unit with vanity storage, WC, and a heated towel rail. Throughout the house, the home maintains a refined, hotel-inspired aesthetic. High-end materials, cohesive interior design, and meticulous attention to detail are evident in every room.

Outside, a lawn area separates the main house from the half-timbered and tiled leisure complex. This features a heated swimming pool measuring 37' 7" x 14' 8" (11.5m x 4.5m), complete with an electric pool cover, mosaic tiling and a vaulted ceiling, completed with numerous ceiling lights. The swimming pool is heated by an air source heat pump and oil tank for the winter. Adjacent to the pool is a raised gym that offers a scenic view of the pool. Steps lead down to the changing facilities, which include a pine sauna, two changing rooms, a shower room, and a separate cloakroom. Connected to the Leisure Complex is a brick-built structure housing the pool’s filtration and heating systems. There is an additional one bedroom annex attached to the leisure complex, which features an open plan kitchen diner, living room with spiral stairs rising to the bedroom and bathroom.

On the far side of the property, a large patio area offers views of the beautifully landscaped garden, featuring circular box hedging, vibrant shrubs, and plants, all bordered by a tall hedge for enhanced privacy. This space leads to a two-bedroom, two-bathroom barn conversion, an ideal option for multigenerational living or as a rental property to provide extra income. Additional outbuildings include a spacious barn, split into a double garage and a generous games room with power and lighting, as well as stables and an open hay barn. The grounds extend to approximately eight acres, incorporating farming land, a duck pond, and a vast driveway. At the front of the home, there is also an additional single garage.
