Boundary Farm Dusthouse Lane Finstall Bromsgrove Worcestershire B60 3AA
BOUNDARY FARM Situated in a glorious location on the rural fringes of Bromsgrove is Boundary Farm, a very attractive family home that is enveloped by around 12 acres of rolling grounds. The house was built in the late 1980s, says the owner, and it s been owned by my family for over twenty years now, and I suppose what really sets it apart from a lot of other properties is the gorgeous location. It s surrounded by these beautiful grounds, which in turn are surrounded by open countryside, so there s a wonderful feeling of peaceful seclusion, and yet everything you could possibly want or need is just a stone s throw away.
An imposing and flexible five bedroom detached village home, providing generous contemporary accommodation suited to any growing family. Built in the 1990 s, the heart and hub of this lovely family home is the breakfast kitchen/diner. The loft conversion means the bedrooms have moved upstairs and the downstairs now allows for a generous traditional family sitting area, separate dining room, breakfast room, downstairs WC and study. There is also a self-contained fully functional one bedroom annex useful for elderly relatives, teenage kids or alternatively an attractive rental income. Externally the property is approached via a long private drive, gated walled frontage and boasts off street parking for at least eight cars. Boundary Farm is completely surrounded by circa 11.5 acres of pasture land currently used for equestrian and benefits from over 7,700 ft2 of outbuildings made up of barns, stables, tack room, pig sty and concrete based sheds.

Seller Insight Situated in a glorious location on the rural fringes of Bromsgrove is Boundary Farm, a very attractive family home that is enveloped by around twelve acres of rolling grounds. The house was built in the late 1980s, says the owner, and it s been owned by my family for over twenty years now, and I suppose what really sets it apart from a lot of other properties is the gorgeous location. It s surrounded by these beautiful grounds, which in turn are surrounded by open countryside, so there s a wonderful feeling of peaceful seclusion, and yet everything you could possibly want or need is just a stone s throw away. The house is relatively new, so it s not in need of constant maintenance but it has a lovely farmhouse feel and the layout is extremely flexible. All of the rooms are generously proportioned, and downstairs we have an annex, which could easily be incorporated into the main accommodation if it wasn t needed. We added a lovely big conservatory in 2000, which enjoys a fabulous panoramic view of the grounds, and upstairs has recently been renovated, so it s modern and fresh. All in all it s a comfortable and very spacious family home. The house sits right in the middle of the grounds, so there s a lovely feeling of privacy both inside and out, continues the owner. We have formal gardens adjacent to the house and the remaining acreage is divided into very large paddocks. The land gently rises up away from the house and one of my favourite things to do is walk to the highest point, sit under a beautiful old tree and just take in the spectacular views. It s a very peaceful place to be. My favourite room in the house is the lovely big lounge, says the owner. It s a huge space, but on a cold winter s evening with the curtains shut and the fire roaring away it s incredibly cosy and warm. The location of the house is really fabulous, says the owner. The immediate surroundings are picturesque and very secluded, and yet it takes just minutes to drive into Bromsgrove, the nearby motorway networks are excellent and it s possible to walk to the railway station, so it s a great location for commuters. In short it offers the best of both worlds. Within the grounds we have stables, a tack room, an old pigsty and a huge barn, says the owner. At the moment the barn is not for business use, but subject to planning I d say that it has huge potential. What they ll miss most / why they are leaving: It s the lifestyle that the property offers that I think I ll miss most, says the owner. The walks, the bike rides, strolling along the canal to any one of the number of cosy pubs, and the views from under that tree. I ll take away so many happy memories.
