SITUATION
The small hamlet of Kyrewood, spread over a wide area over looks Tenbury Wells. This local town straddling the River Teme has a supermarket as well as good shops for everyday requirements. There are excellent schools in the area and the market town of Ludlow, and the City of Worcester are well within daily reach.

HISTORICAL NOTE
Lower Kyrewood and the Hop kiln, known as Kiln Cottage, are Grade II listed having 17th century origins with later additions. Formerly part of the Newnham Estate and Kyrewood Estate, the house has been in the same family through the generations since the early 1800's.

THE PROPERTY
The long drive sweeps around to the south side of the house where there is ample car parking. There is a traditional feel throughout the house with the brick tiled floor that is both in the Hall and Kitchen as well as the deep inglenooks and timber trusses. Most of the house has been reroofed and Kiln Cottage was converted some 25 years ago.
Off the Hall with the front staircase and cellar entrance is the Sitting Room with an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove and French doors to the terrace and the Dining Room. The Kitchen has a deep and impressive inglenook in which stands the two-oven oil fired AGA and there is a range of fitted units including a double sink. The moulded ceiling beams suggest this might be the oldest part of the house. The back hall has a door to the garden, recessed cupboards, the back staircase and a cloakroom/shower room. Beyond is the Utility Room, the far end of which has been an office.
The oak staircase leads to one bedroom and a bathroom as well as the main landing off which are two further bedrooms. In the heart of the house is the main bedroom with its oak floors and a walk-in cupboard to one side of the chimney. Beyond are two further bedrooms off the back staircase and a bathroom.

KILN COTTAGE was converted in the late 1980's and has two entrances each with a porch. The Living Room adjoins the Kitchen divided by a bar. Off the inner hall is the circular Dining room and cloakroom. On the first floor are three bedrooms, one being circular, a bathroom and access to good attic storage.

THE GARDEN AND GROUNDS
Old photographs show the grounds were used for grazing and growing vegetables. Today the grounds have mature trees and old orchards creating a woodland garden with a line of oak trees along the western boundary.
