The Property

The entrance porch to the property has a mono-pitched tiled roof and part-glazed door, original, time-worn stone floor, leading to a substantial, solid wood door into the entrance hall. The hall has stairs rising to the first floor, a coat rack and an under-stairs storage cupboard. The study, with window to the side, is open to the hallway and has a door leading into the bathroom.

The bathroom has ceramic tile flooring, a panel bath with electric shower over, a pedestal basin, WC and an obscure-glazed window to the side. The airing cupboard houses a how water tank and shelving.

From the entrance hall, the door on the right opens into the spacious sitting room, which has an open fireplace with a stone hearth and solid wood mantelshelf. Full of natural light, this room has a window and sliding doors to the side garden, and a bay window to the front of the property.

From the sitting room, a traditional four-panel door opens into the kitchen-dining room, a very large, dual aspect room, which has scope to be divided into two separate rooms. The flooring is ceramic tiles and the kitchen has a range of Shaker-style base and wall units with tiled splashbacks and a door to the rear garden. The dining area features an exposed stone wall and exposed beam between the kitchen and dining areas.

The utility room overlooks the rear garden and has fitted base and wall units, ceramic tiled floor, and a wall-mounted Worcester boiler, fitted in 2023.

The first-floor landing has three doors: Two leading into the bedrooms and one into the large wardrobe off the master bedroom: This configuration, combined with the generous proportions of the master bedroom and windows at either end, offer scope for this space to contain two double bedrooms, rather than just one. The second bedroom has views south over the adjacent countryside.


Outside

The concrete and gravel driveway to the side of the property provide parking adjacent to the house and also lead into the small paddock. The grounds are level, incorporating two large terraces, with mature trees providing dappled shade to both, and a large garden leading to the paddock, which houses a well-built timber storage shed. Dense hedging separates the garden from the road and there is traditional metal estate fencing and further hedging to the small lane leading down to Munderfield Harold.
The views across to the Malvern Hills are spectacular.
