4 bed detached house for sale

Lickey Rock, Marlbrook, Bromsgrove B60

Having been in the same family for over a century, this stunning four-bedroom detached cottage is now proudly presented to the market. Nestled in a superb elevated position, the property enjoys picturesque views over mature gardens and the fields beyond. Set within approximately two acres of land, the surroundings form a true haven for nature lovers, rich with wildlife and offering the perfect setting for year-round family adventures.

Inside, the home offers a beautifully designed, fully fitted modern breakfast kitchen, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Two generously sized reception rooms provide ample living space, each featuring wonderful views that frame the countryside beyond.

The cottage is ideally located with excellent access to the local road network. Junction 1 of the M42 and Junction 4 of the M5 are just a short drive away, making travel convenient. Bromsgrove Town Centre and Barnt Green are easily reachable and provide a wide range of amenities, including gp surgeries, dentists, local shops, and a selection of welcoming pubs and restaurants. Two nearby train stations offer efficient routes into Birmingham City Centre, while Birmingham International Airport is also within easy reach.

As you approach the home, either from the front entrance or the gated driveway, you’re immediately welcomed by a sense of charm, space, and natural light. The thoughtfully designed breakfast kitchen is the heart of the home, with dove grey cabinetry and integrated appliances. It opens to glorious views across the garden, making it a delightful space to gather. Adjacent to the kitchen, a utility and boot room leads to a covered storage area and a guest WC.

A spacious inner hallway links the entrance lobby to a sumptuous lounge, complete with an exposed brick fireplace and a wood-burning stove. Double doors lead out to a covered veranda, perfect for spotting wildlife all year round or enjoying summer entertaining. A second reception room, ideal as a snug or playroom, adds to the flexibility of the space.

The staircase leads to a dual-aspect double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, offering potential as a self-contained suite for teenagers or elderly relatives, thanks to its own private entrance. The main first floor accommodation comprises three further generously sized bedrooms, each enjoying sweeping views of the open countryside, and a stylish family bathroom with a separate shower.

The outdoor space is truly special. The gardens feature a vast array of established shrubs and flowers, creating a vibrant and peaceful setting. A well-designed patio extends from the lounge and snug, making an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Raised vegetable beds, sweeping lawns, and a secluded seating area provide numerous spots to relax and enjoy the surroundings. A wildlife pond and a mowed meadow path, perfect for sledging in winter, sit alongside a mature woodland area.

From the elevated position at the top of the garden, the panoramic views stretch across the Worcestershire countryside, with the distant Malvern Hills forming a breathtaking backdrop. This home offers a rare combination of tranquillity, charm, and convenience — a truly exceptional opportunity.
