A Hidden Countryside Gem, Full of Character, Charm & Plenty of Potential
Set within the peaceful hamlet of Earls Common, this delightful south-facing detached country cottage offers the very best of rural living, combining timeless charm with space, privacy, and panoramic countryside views. Nestled within approximately 0.65 of an acre of beautifully kept gardens (offering 0.7 of an acre of grounds, woodland and wildflower paddock available for purchase via separate negotiation) this property is a rare opportunity to embrace an idyllic country lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of amenities, transport links, and highly regarded schools.
From the moment you arrive through the gated entrance, the cottage welcomes you with character and warmth. Inside, period features abound, from beamed ceilings and exposed timbers to a feature fireplace and open fire that create a wonderfully cosy atmosphere. The ground floor includes a charming dual-aspect sitting room, a dedicated study with original beams, and a light-filled dining room with views that stretch across open countryside. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the fabulous large conservatory, which floods with natural light and opens directly onto the garden, perfect for enjoying long summer evenings or entertaining friends and family. A well-appointed kitchen enjoys rear views over the landscape, while a stylishly tiled bathroom and a separate cloakroom with shower provide practicality and comfort.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress. A bright, airy landing features a WC and vanity unit, and leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The dual-aspect principal bedroom and guest bedroom both benefit from fitted furniture and countryside views, while the remaining two bedrooms also feature fitted wardrobes, offering flexibility for family, guests, or home office space.
Outside, the grounds are nothing short of magical. The expansive lawned gardens include raised beds, a greenhouse, and a garden store. A charming woodland area invites peaceful walks or play, while the wildflower paddock bursts with seasonal colour and wildlife. There is ample parking and a detached garage, all set within fully enclosed grounds offering both privacy and security.
The location offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. Earls Common is just a short distance from the village of Himbleton, which boasts a church, village hall, cricket club, primary school, and a popular pub. Nearby Droitwich Spa provides everyday amenities and a railway station, while Worcester offers broader shopping, leisure options, and outstanding independent schools. The M5 motorway is also easily accessible via junctions 5 or 6, making this an ideal base for commuters.
This charming country cottage is offered freehold, with mains water and electricity, private drainage, and oil-fired central heating via a Worcester Heatslave 20/25 boiler. The property is understood to enjoy broadband download speeds of around 82 Mbps and current mobile coverage, though prospective buyers should confirm availability directly with providers.
Whether you're seeking a characterful family home, a peaceful retreat, or a countryside escape with room to grow, this property is a truly special find. With its stunning surroundings, versatile living space, and captivating views, this is more than a home, it’s a way of life.
