Birmingham Road, Marlbrook, B61

The Old Bake House is a truly exceptional four-bedroom home that seamlessly blends original character and charm with contemporary style. Thoughtfully restored over the years, the property retains distinctive features from its former life as a working bakery, including exposed brickwork, and original timber beams, creating a warm and inviting retreat. Tucked away at the top of a private, gated shared driveway, this secluded home is located in the heart of Marlbrook, Bromsgrove, and enjoys a peaceful setting with rolling countryside views, offering both tranquillity and timeless appeal.

The property is set back from the road and approached via a gated, private shared driveway, offering ample parking for several vehicles and access to a detached single garage.

Step inside through the bifold doors and you're welcomed into a stunning open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner—a space that beautifully blends character and contemporary style. The lounge features newly fitted oak flooring and is centred around a charming log-burning stove, creating a cosy and inviting focal point. Natural light floods the room via French doors, and just around the corner, you'll find a versatile nook—perfect as a home office or study space.

The grand Shaker-style kitchen/diner exudes classic farmhouse charm, enhanced by exposed brickwork, original beams, and feature copper piping—a striking combination of rustic and contemporary style that makes it perfect for entertaining. The space is superbly equipped with a SMEG range induction cooker, SMEG tap, and an integrated double fridge/freezer. Additional highlights include custom wine racks, solid oak worktops, a breakfast bar, and flagstone flooring. A freestanding freezer and dishwasher are also included in the sale. Adjacent to the kitchen is a designated seating area—a cosy and convenient spot that links the kitchen and lounge spaces.

Also on the ground floor, you'll find a versatile second reception room, currently used as a high-spec home cinema. This room is fitted with a range of premium cinema technology (available under separate negotiation), but by day, it functions equally well as an additional living area. A dedicated office space is also located here, providing a quiet work-from-home setup. A fourth bedroom is located on this floor, currently arranged as a playroom, but easily adaptable as a guest bedroom, home gym, or hobby space. It benefits from Velux windows with electric blackout blinds. Adjoining this room are French doors that open onto a secondary decked terrace, complete with an external power supply—a perfect spot for a hot tub or outdoor entertaining area, if desired.

A bespoke oak staircase leads to the first-floor landing, where you’ll find the luxurious master bedroom—a true retreat featuring underfloor heating, a private dressing room with custom-built wardrobes, and a stylish en-suite shower room with bathtub and separate shower enclosure. Two further generously sized bedrooms complete the upper floor. One includes Sharps fitted wardrobes, custom seating, and an electric Velux blind, while the other offers a blackout Velux window. The family bathroom, with a sunken bathtub, adds further elegance to the space. The hallway also benefits from floor-to-ceiling storage, with space to accommodate a tumble dryer if required. A sash window offers far-reaching countryside views, adding to the property's rural charm.

Externally, the property boasts a beautifully landscaped rear garden, complete with two decked seating areas, two porcelain paved patio’s, and a well-maintained lawn. Mature planting includes established David Austin roses, Wisteria, and a plum tree, all enclosed by a mix of fencing and a Gabion wall, providing both privacy and visual appeal.
