This is a thriving village, with Post Office and pharmacy, library, primary school, public houses and village hall. The village lies within the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Excellent Independent Schools are available in Colwall and Malvern, as are rail links to London Paddington and Birmingham New Street. The motorway network can be accessed via Junction 2 of the M50, four miles south of Ledbury.

There is a further area of garden beyond the garage, with level lawn, pond, overlooked by a delightful, octagonal summerhouse, with stunning views across to British Camp and the ridge of the Malvern Hills.

From the offices of Hayes, head to the Top Cross in town and straight over on the A449 towards Malvern and Worcester. After approximately three miles, turn left onto the B4218 and continue for two miles through Colwall, then turn left onto Old Church Road. After one third of a mile, just beyond Stone Drive, you will see the wooden gates to the Barn House on the left hand side.

Barn House is believed to date back to 1617. It had belonged to the church and was part of a working farm. It was extended over the years and finally converted in the 1950s into a five-bedroom family home. The half-timbered rooms throughout this delightful property are spacious, with good ceiling height.

There is a cloakroom off the main hall. The sun-room, also off the hall, overlooks the secluded rear-garden.
