Bishops Frome, Worcester, WR6

A rare countryside retreat with space, serenity and a beautifully curated lifestyle

Longbarns is an exceptional 6 bedroom, 6 bathroom barn conversion offering more than 7,500 sq ft of beautifully crafted accommodation and 13.4 acres of landscaped gardens, pasture and private coarse fishing lake. Set in the quiet rural hamlet of Evesbatch, moments from Bishops Frome, this is a home shaped around privacy, nature and a slower, richer way of living.

This former cluster of estate farm buildings, thoughtfully converted in the 1980s, has evolved into a generous, characterful home where exposed stonework, inglenook fireplaces, vaulted ceilings and reclaimed materials create warmth and timeless atmosphere. Everyday living flows naturally here, with the Aga kitchen, conservatory and garden terraces connecting indoor comfort with the beauty of the surrounding countryside. There is a ground floor principal suite, four further en suite doubles and a self contained annexe, making the house incredibly flexible for multi generational living, guests, or space hungry families.

Outdoors, Longbarns is a sanctuary. Sculpted gardens, water features, specimen trees, rose borders, vegetable beds and quiet seating areas reveal themselves gradually as you wander. A two acre lake stocked with carp sits peacefully below the paddock land, accessed discreetly via a separate track, ensuring privacy is uninterrupted. For equestrian buyers, two timber stables and hay/store bay, plus excellent outriding across Brockhampton and Bringsty Commons, add immediate lifestyle appeal.
