4 Bedroom Detached House

Set within approximately half an acre of mature gardens, this detached country home offers a rare opportunity to purchase a property with both immediate character and exciting scope for improvement. Owned by the same family for circa 45 years, they are forlorn to sell, however the time is now for the next occupants to cherish.

 

Tucked away along a peaceful country lane on the edge of the Wyre Forest, the house enjoys a setting that feels delightfully rural yet remains convenient for the amenities of nearby Bewdley and Stourport.

 

The interior is brimming with charm, from exposed ceiling beams and brick fireplaces to quirky dual staircases leading to the first floor. The ground floor provides two generous reception rooms, each with its own staircase, creating flexibility and individuality in the layout. A farmhouse-style kitchen sits at the heart of the home, complemented by a practical utility porch and a ground floor shower room. Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged across two landings, served by a family bathroom. Whilst the accommodation would benefit from modernisation, the proportions and character features provide an excellent foundation for a wonderful family home.

 

The gardens are a particular feature, extending to around half an acre of mature grounds, with sweeping lawns, orchard planting and lightly wooded fringes. A detached garage and ample driveway parking further enhance the appeal. For those seeking outdoor space, a lifestyle connection to the countryside and the chance to put their own stamp on a characterful property, this home offers an outstanding opportunity.
