A cottage style country home nicely tucked away in a convenient rural setting between Bewdley and Cleobury. Situated in completely secluded grounds approaching one quarter of an acre with a spacious and adaptable layout.
The kitchen
The kitchen is a tastefully appointed space that captures modern country living. Fitted with Shaker-style units and oak work surfaces, the kitchen exudes charm and practicality. A ‘Range’ style oven with an extractor fan takes pride of place, while the Belfast sink adds to the traditional feel. The space benefits from an adjoining utility room with ample room for appliances and additional storage, with a stable door leading to the rear garden.
The living & dining room
The expansive L-shaped living area is the heart of the home, combining sitting, dining and cooking spaces into one harmonious setting. A bay-fronted sitting area, centred around a wood-burning stove, provides warmth and character. The dining section, bathed in natural light from French doors, opens onto the secluded rear garden, creating an ideal flow for entertaining.

The hallway
The welcoming hallway features stairs leading to the first floor, with doors that open to both the living areas and the ground floor bedroom. The layout is thoughtfully designed to keep the living and sleeping quarters nicely separated.

The bathroom
The family bathroom on the first floor is tastefully styled, centring around a freestanding rolltop bath. Traditional elements like a pedestal wash basin and a radiator/towel rail combination complete the room, offering both comfort and elegance.
The garden
The garden at the rear of the property is a private oasis, designed with entertaining in mind. A paved patio extends the full width of the house, bordered by low-level walling, creating a perfect spot for outdoor dining. Beyond the patio is a small lawn, enclosed by mature hedging, offering a secluded space to relax.
The office & driveway
The property is accessed via a long driveway that sweeps up from the lane, providing ample parking and a turning area halfway up. The driveway leads directly to the house and the converted office, ensuring both convenience and privacy.
The former double garage has been thoughtfully converted into a self-contained office space. This quiet retreat is ideal for home working, providing a private and peaceful environment away from the main living areas.
