QUOTE REF: FS0647
Designed and converted by the current owners and boasting a truly breath-taking position, located on this desirable private drive in popular Shenstone Village, The Cart Hovel combines the perfect mix of contemporary with rustic charm giving all the vibes of a cottage alongside the floor to ceiling glass windows, open plan living space and absolutely beautiful attention to detail, which enhances the barns charm
The large gravel drive and beautifully planted flower beds, create the perfect setting for this incredibly unique, private and tranquil home and if you're looking for something with all the charm and views of a rural setting and countryside views, but also just a short walk from the heart of the village with an award winning butchers, convenience store, four dining pubs a highly regarded primary school and a train station, just a 30 minute direct journey into Birmingham New Street, then this is it!
On the ground floor, I really love the entrance hall which is flooded with natural light from all of the glass and the double height ceiling staircase, and it is worth noting that all rooms on this floor have been fitted with underfloor heating which is just perfect after a long walk in the surrounding fields or a brisk dog walk around the village. The only room without underfloor heating is the lounge, as that is thoughtfully fitted with a beautiful freestanding gas fire and two sets of double doors in the Summer months can be opened straight into the garden.
The kitchen dining room has to be where I would spend most of my time, with space to relax, dine and definitely a room to invite friends and family and entertain. The mezzanine floor with the glass balcony above is the perfect hideout as a snug or home office and I love the port hole window which overlooks the field and cows! There is also a further reception room, currently used as an office and creating really flexible space to be used as desired.
On the first floor is the master suite, which is just beautifully calming and bursting with character from the exposed beams and brick. Thoughtfully built in wardrobes and fitted into the eaves and if you are looking for a bathroom to rival most luxury hotels then they don't come much better than the ensuite, with a huge walk in shower and freestanding, roll top bath. There are then two further double bedrooms and a bathroom on this floor and on the second floor is a further fabulously sized bedroom, also with an ensuite
With its quirks, character, space, light and just pure excellence when it comes to the finish, I absolutely love this home and I have no doubt, that you will too
