Description

Residing within an exclusive gated courtyard is Bracken Barn, a beautifully appointed four bedroom barn conversion offering beautifully appointed and recently remodelled interiors alongside a superb private equestrian complex.

Featuring a wealth of traditional finishes and original character, the generously proportioned interiors received a quality refurb in 2025 to include a bespoke Tom Howley kitchen and new flooring to the ground floor, as well as having previous upgrades to include an EV charging point and solar panels with export tariff and storage batteries aiding both the hot water and electricity. Superb outside space includes a double garage and landscaped gardens, and this delightful countryside home enjoys a most picturesque setting amidst stunning Staffordshire countryside. The rare addition of a further four acres, stabling and a menage are part of the sale, being ideal for personal equestrian use or to provide a healthy rental income. The location is particularly well suited to equestrian enthusiasts, with a choice of off-road hacking routes available nearby, providing plenty of opportunity to enjoy the surrounding countryside.

A bespoke oak framed entrance porch leads into the central reception hall, which gives access into a recently remodelled dining kitchen and the lounge. A utility and cloakroom, with four double bedrooms set to the first floor. The master and second bedroom suites feature private shower rooms and a luxurious family bathroom services the additional bedrooms. Outside, secure electric gates shared with two additional properties lead into the courtyard, where there is allocated parking and a detached double garage. A gate opens into the lawned fore gardens where a pathway leads to the front door, enjoying pleasant countryside views to the side. To the rear of the barn is a secluded south facing courtyard which has been recently landscaped to a superb degree. Bracken Barn benefits from hardwood double glazing, LPG gas central heating and a shared Klargester which services two additional properties.

Opposite the driveway to the barn is a second gated drive which leads into the equestrian facilities, which include a Paul Boulton 35 x 40m arena and turnout paddock, four acres and an American barn with four stables, a feed store, tack room and two large barns, all of which have been added between 2021 and 2024.

Bracken Barn lies in the hamlet of Newchurch, a desirable rural location neighbouring the premier hamlet or Hoar Cross. Nestled within stunning Staffordshire countryside offering plenty of tranquil walking routes, the surrounding area is renowned for its idyllic surroundings and upmarket local amenities, including the superb Hoar Cross Hall Hotel and Day Spa, The Deer Park Farmshop and the FA’s St Georges Park.

Additional amenities can be found just minutes away at the local villages of Abbots Bromley, Yoxall and Barton under Needwood where shops, pubs, post offices and more can be found.

The property is served by Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ rated schools including the Newborough Church of England Primary School which feeds into John Taylor High in Barton under Needwood, with the John Taylor Free School also being within a short drive.

Hoar Cross is well placed for access to the A515, A38 and A50, Lichfield offers direct rail links to Birmingham and London and the international airports of Birmingham and Manchester are both within an easy drive.
