4 bed detached house for sale

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.

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.
