Casa Worcester

Set right in the heart of one of Worcestershire’s most popular villages, The Old Granary is a beautifully presented Grade II listed barn conversion offering a brilliant blend of character, light and surprisingly versatile space.

The property is entered via a side door. The original flagstone and blue brick staircase rises into a welcoming reception hall with a cloakroom/WC. From here, the sitting room immediately sets the tone: exposed beams and timbers, a wood-burning stove, and a Juliet balcony at first-floor level framing views over the garden and the tree line beyond.

The kitchen is arranged in a practical galley style and links naturally through to a mezzanine level currently used as an impressive dining space, with exposed brickwork and plenty of atmosphere. A staircase then drops down to a large vaulted living room, flooded with natural light from roof lights and full-height glazing. Double doors open onto the decked terrace, making this a wonderful room for everyday living, entertaining or, as the current owners enjoy, a studio or hobby space thanks to the quality of light throughout the day.

A large utility/storage area sits neatly to the rear, and a centrally positioned staircase leads up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms, served by a family bathroom and an en suite shower room to the principal bedroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly good double with a dual aspect.

Outside, the gardens are a real highlight. A decked seating area is ideal for alfresco dining, while a picket gate leads through to a productive kitchen garden with greenhouse and growing space. Parking is well catered for, with a designated space by the garden gates, visitor parking, and a single garage (with two spaces in front) en bloc with useful storage above.

Martley is well known for its strong community, countryside walks and excellent schooling, including The Chantry School and Martley CofE Primary nearby.
Village amenities include a shop and Post Office, and popular spots such as The Crown at Martley and the community-run Tap & Run bar at the cricket club.

Location, Schools & Connectivity

Martley is a thriving Worcestershire village, well regarded for its community feel, excellent schooling and easy access to both Worcester and the wider motorway and rail network. The village offers a well‑stocked shop and Post Office, popular dining at The Crown at Martley, and a strong sporting and social scene centred around the cricket club and its community‑run Tap & Run bar.

For day‑to‑day shopping, Waitrose Worcester is approximately 15 minutes by car, while the city of Worcester provides a full range of retail, leisure and professional services.

Regular bus services run through the village connecting to Worcester and surrounding settlements. Worcester Foregate Street and Worcester Shrub Hill railway stations are both within easy reach, offering direct services to Birmingham, London Paddington and the wider national rail network, with Worcestershire Parkway providing further high‑speed connectivity.
Birmingham Airport (BHX) is readily accessible by road and rail, making the location practical for both domestic and international travel.

The area is particularly well served for education. In addition to Martley CofE Primary and the highly regarded Chantry School, there is a strong selection of respected independent schools within comfortable driving distance, including King’s Worcester, The Royal Grammar School Worcester, Bromsgrove School, Winterfold House School, and the Malvern College family of schools.

Surrounded by open countryside, the village also offers immediate access to a network of footpaths and walks, making it an ideal base for those seeking a balance of rural living and connectivity.
