About
Positioned along an exclusive private drive in the heart of Shenstone Village, The Cart Hovel is an exceptional contemporary barn-style residence that seamlessly combines modern architectural design with traditional character features.
Carefully designed by the current owners, the property showcases high-quality craftsmanship, generous proportions and an impressive level of attention to detail throughout.
The welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone, offering a striking double-height ceiling staircase and an abundance of natural light through expansive glazing.
Underfloor heating extends across the ground floor (excluding the lounge), ensuring comfort and efficiency year-round.
The lounge provides a refined yet inviting setting, centred around a freestanding gas fire, with twin sets of doors opening directly onto the garden — ideal for both relaxed evenings and summer entertaining.
The heart of the home is the substantial open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, thoughtfully arranged to create a sociable and functional living environment.
This impressive space is perfectly suited to both everyday family life and formal entertaining.
Above, a mezzanine level with glass balustrade offers a versatile additional area, currently utilised as a snug or home office, complete with a distinctive porthole window overlooking the surrounding countryside.
A further reception room provides flexibility for use as a study, playroom or additional sitting room, complemented by a utility room and guest cloakroom.
The principal bedroom suite is both elegant and characterful, featuring exposed beams, brick detailing and bespoke fitted wardrobes set within the eaves.
The luxurious ensuite bathroom is beautifully appointed, offering a walk-in shower and freestanding roll-top bath.
Two additional double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom are located on the first floor.
The second floor accommodates a spacious fourth bedroom with its own ensuite, offering an ideal arrangement for guests or independent living.
Externally, the property enjoys a tranquil rural outlook while remaining just a short walk from the centre of Shenstone Village.
Local amenities include an award-winning butcher, convenience store, a selection of dining pubs, a well-regarded primary school and a railway station providing a direct 30-minute service to Birmingham (New Street).
The Cart Hovel represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive and impeccably presented home in a highly desirable village location, offering the perfect balance of countryside living and modern convenience.
