Description

AN EXCEPTIONAL GRADE II LISTED PERIOD BARN CONVERSION, DATING BACK TO THE EARLY 17TH CENTURY, SET WITHIN C. 17 ACRES OF ITS OWN LAND AND OCCUPYING A SUPERB RURAL POSITION ON THE EDGE OF WIXFORD.

The accommodation at Barn Meadow is beautifully arranged over two floors and combines impressive architectural character with well-balanced and highly practical family living.
The heart of the home is the magnificent double-height dining hall, an exceptional reception space defined by exposed structural timbers and full-height glazing that opens directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond. Bathed in natural light, this striking room immediately conveys the scale and craftsmanship of the original barn, while a galleried landing above enhances the sense of openness. It is a superb space for entertaining, yet equally welcoming for everyday life.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been thoughtfully designed and fitted on a bespoke basis, featuring granite worktops, extensive cabinetry and a central island that naturally draws people together. A range cooker forms a focal point, complemented by an integrated fridge/freezer and integral Bosch dishwasher. Both stylish and highly functional, the room offers generous preparation space and an easy flow into the surrounding reception areas, making it ideally suited to modern family living. A separate utility/boot room and ground floor cloakroom provide further convenience and practicality.
The principal sitting room is an elegant triple-aspect space, enjoying delightful views across the gardens and grounds and filled with natural light throughout the day. A gas fire provides a welcoming focal point, adding warmth and atmosphere during the cooler months and creating a refined yet comfortable setting. On the opposite side of the house, a snug offers a more intimate retreat. Dual aspect and also featuring a gas fire, this versatile room is ideal as a cosy evening sitting room, study or informal family space, providing flexibility within the overall layout.
On the first floor the galleried landing continues the sense of architectural cohesion, overlooking the dining hall below and reinforcing the volume and character of the original structure. The first floor provides five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite occupies its own distinct area, creating a comfortable and private sanctuary, complete with an adjoining bath and shower room.
The remaining bedrooms are generously sized and supported by an ensuite guest bedroom and a family bathroom, offering a layout well suited to family occupation or visiting guests.

Barn Meadow is approached via a sweeping tarmac driveway, creating a sense of arrival as it gently opens to an attractive turning circle at the front of the property. This provides ample space for parking and manoeuvring, while enhancing the symmetry and presentation of the barn. Adjacent stands a substantial three-bay timber garage with power and light, offering excellent garaging and storage provision in keeping with the property's rural character.
The gardens surrounding the house are attractively landscaped and principally laid to lawn, with shaped hedging, planted borders and a gravel pathway leading around the property. A paved terrace provides an excellent space for outdoor dining, enjoying views across the surrounding countryside.
Beyond the formal gardens lie the property's extensive grounds, amounting to approximately 17 acres in total.

Wixford is a charming Warwickshire village set amidst attractive open countryside just south of Alcester. Known for its picturesque period cottages, historic church and welcoming community feel, the village offers a peaceful rural setting while remaining highly convenient for nearby market towns and cultural centres. Surrounded by scenic walking routes and rolling farmland, Wixford combines countryside tranquillity with excellent accessibility, making it an appealing location for those seeking village life within easy reach of everyday amenities.
