If You Want it, Need it and Love it – Quote RA0772 When Enquiring

Step into serenity at 26 Watery Lane, Wordsley


a property that truly redefines the phrase “hidden gem.” Nestled in a peaceful backwater next to a babbling brook and with the nature reserve just steps away, this immaculately improved, three-bedroom semi-detached home offers more than just a place to live
it offers a lifestyle few will ever find.

Occupying a vast, elevated corner plot, the property is enveloped in tiered gardens, tranquil seating areas, and an array of wildlife-friendly features


including a large, established pond filled with impressive Carp and Koi, creating an atmosphere that’s as calming as it is captivating.

This home has been transformed over recent years by its current owners


upgraded, improved, and lovingly curated to offer peace of mind and move-in-ready luxury throughout.

 
Ground Floor – Space, Comfort & Style
Step in via the double-glazed entrance porch, and you’re welcomed into a beautifully presented lounge (16' x 10'10" plus recess / 4.88m x 3.30m). Set beneath a bay window, this warm and spacious room features a 7-month-old log burner, perfect for cosy evenings, plus a modern décor scheme that perfectly complements the setting. It's the heart of the home and effortlessly connects to the rear kitchen-diner.

The kitchen (19'10" x 12' / 6.05m x 3.66m) spans the rear of the property and is fitted with a range of modern wall and base units, tiled splashbacks, a gas hob with cooker hood, and electric oven. A rear window offers picturesque views across the garden, while a side door leads directly into the utility room.

The utility houses further storage units, plumbing for appliances, and a downstairs WC


ideal for guests and practical day-to-day living. A new boiler (installed just 4 years ago), new radiators and plumbing (replaced just 18 months ago), and new electrics (within the last 2 years) provide modern efficiency, alongside cavity wall and loft insulation for year-round comfort.

 
First Floor – Three Bedrooms & a Stunning Wet Room
Upstairs, the space continues with:

Bedroom One (11' x 10'11" / 3.35m x 3.33m) – A front-facing double with lots of natural light and clean, neutral styling.
Bedroom Two (12' x 10'8" max / 3.66m x 3.25m) – A generous rear double bedroom overlooking the gardens.
Bedroom Three (8'11" x 6'3" plus recess / 2.72m x 1.91m) – Ideal as a nursery, home office, or dressing room, with part-boarded loft access for storage.
The original bathroom has now been professionally converted into a luxury wet room


shower, modern WC and basin, chrome towel rail, and side-facing window. Stylish, spacious and accessible, this newly fitted space brings a touch of boutique hotel living into your everyday routine.

All rear and side windows were replaced just 10 months ago, enhancing warmth, efficiency, and peace of mind.

 
Outside – A Lifestyle All Its Own
The gardens here are something truly special.

From the quaint front gate, follow the path through a well-tended shrub borders to the entrance porch. To the rear, the plot opens up into a series of tiered, landscaped spaces – think sun-drenched patios, shady corners, floral beds, gravel pathways, and dedicated outside seating zones.

Then there’s the large, well-stocked pond


home to monster Carp, Koi, and more, creating a peaceful focal point and a haven for nature lovers.

A garden office/outbuilding provides the perfect work-from-home setup or studio space, while the detached brick-built garage (with electric roller door) offers secure parking, a workshop, or further conversion potential. A second garage, located opposite on council land, is also owned by the seller and may be available as part of negotiations


ideal for car collectors, storage, or future development options (STPP).
