3 bed detached house for sale

Hanley William, Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire WR15

Oaklea is a handsome part timbered family home offering 2,747 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. Configured to provide an elegant and practical living and entertaining environment, the property provides quality fixtures and fittings, a wealth of exposed wall and ceiling beams and neutral décor throughout.

The generously-proportioned accommodation flows from a welcoming wooden-floored reception hall. It briefly comprises a triple aspect drawing room with an exposed brick inglenook fireplace with log burner, small bar area, two sets of French doors to the front aspect and a door to understairs storage with a useful cloakroom. Double doors open from the reception hall to a kitchen/dining room. The kitchen provides a range of wall and base units, a breakfast bar, complementary worktops and modern integrated appliances. It opens into a dining room with exposed wooden flooring and space for a sizeable table. A door from the kitchen gives access to a sitting room with full-height glazing, a fireplace with woodburning stove, French doors open to the front aspect, a fitted utility room with a side access door and a door to the integral double garage. Steps rise from the sitting room to a vaulted fourth bedroom/family room over the garage which benefits from an en suite bathroom. The fourth bedroom/family room, together with the sitting and utility rooms below, offers potential for use as a self-contained annexe, if required.

Stairs rise from the reception hall to a first floor landing with generous useful storage. The vaulted bedroom accommodation provides a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom, an additional double bedroom with fitted storage and an en suite shower room, one further bedroom and a family bathroom.

The house is situated some distance from the road
and is approached through a five bar gate over a
sweeping gravelled driveway providing private parking and giving access to the integral double garage. The well-maintained formal garden surrounding the property is laid mainly to gently sloping lawn interspersed with specimen trees and bordered by mature planting. It features a brook with footbridge over and large front and side aspect terraces, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, the whole enjoying views over the property’s remaining acreage. There is a vegetable patch off the kitchen along with a rather grand chicken house and a garden shed. The orchard has a number of fruit trees; cooking/dessert apples, greengages, cherrries, pears and plums. Hedging provides privacy yet the slightly elevated position of Oaklea enjoys views across the countryside.

A country track leads you to the paddock and woodland totalling 9.7 acres
