The property

Little Barn is a charming, detached barn conversion enveloped around rolling fields of the Worcestershire countryside and fields home to sheep and horses, in the quaint village of Upton Snodsbury.

This abode is an idyllic getaway for families who love hiking, cycling, or those who love venturing the great outdoors, with footpaths and lanes running straight from your door, to surrounding areas of Stratford-upon-Avon, the Malvern Hills, and the picturesque Cotswolds.

Step inside to the well-equipped kitchen, with an array of modern appliances needed to dish up some hearty meals, which can be savoured at two dining areas, awaiting dinner party natter and family bonding.

If the weather permits, head through the bi-fold doors, leading to your own private sanctuary under the stars, and let the designated chef take control of the barbeque for a spot of alfresco dining, serenaded by the gentle hoots of a family of owls that have inhabited the trees for decades.

Afterwards, curl up on the plush seating with your favourite programme on the Smart TV, while the woodburning stove keeps your feet toasty.

For the guest seeking a healthy game of friendly competition, there are an array of board games to choose from for a guaranteed laughter-filled evening; an excellent way to draw the evening to a close.

When nighttime rolls around, retire to either the king-size bedroom, adorned with a Smart TV for those lazy mornings in bed, and a twin room, each boasting picture-postcard views of the well-maintained landscape, creating a haven for catching your rest.

Choose between a plethora of walking routes right from your doorstep.

For riverside walls, the historic town of Pershore cannot be missed, or for the avid hiker, embark on a challenging route up the Malvern Hills, rewarded with panoramic views that stretch across rolling green landscapes, distant valleys, and shimmering bodies of water.

While sporting enthusiasts will be thrilled with a day trip to The Vale Golf & Country Club, with a bar on site to savour a refreshing pint.

Venture into the heart of historic Worcester to discover the Tudor House Museum, the eclectic exhibitions at Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum, and The Firs: Elgar's Birthplace, a National Trust site.

While further afield are the vibrant towns and villages of the Cotswolds, or head to Stratford-upon-Avon, bursting with heritage, and meander along the cobblestone streets to the birthplace of William Shakespeare.

Little Barn is your well-positioned stay, with so much to see and do, you will be yearning to return.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

UPTON SNODSBURY

Worcester 7.4 miles; Stratford-upon-Avon 17.7 miles; Cotswolds AONB 22.2 miles.

Upton Snodsbury is an ancient village founded by the Saxons in the seventh century, six miles East of the bustling city of Worcester. Renowned as being ‘a jewel in Worcestershire’, with most houses being Grade II listed and Victorian style, which are dotted in a Conservation Area around the church. The village has much to offer for the tourist, with historic churches and buildings offering a glimpse into the area’s rich past, and mediaeval fields with footpaths that cross the area and through to Bow Wood. This remnant of the ancient Feckenham Forest blankets much of Castle Hill, an Iron Age fort, and is recognised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Visit the independent village shop, serving locally supplied products, a characterful pub with a beer garden offering delicious local cuisine, as well as local markets to grab a keepsake. This village boasts a peaceful setting amidst a friendly community. Further afield is the city of Worcester, where you can marvel around the ancient Cathedral, the Tudor House Museum, and hike the picturesque Malvern Hills. Or the bustling town of Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare.
