5 bed country house for sale

Heightington, Bewdley DY12

Occupying a splendid position in the much sought after rural village of Heightington, around ten minutes drive from both Bewdley and Stourport, Chapel Lodge is a most appealing country home with truly outstanding views across miles of open countryside from this elevated position.

Originally dating from the late 19th century, with 20th century extensions, this is a spacious five bedroom family home extending to over 3000 sq ft. All rooms are well-proportioned and well blessed with light, with many of the rooms enjoying a dual aspect and the majority of rooms enjoying the wonderful south-facing views to the front.

The house is set back behind a boundary wall and gated block paved driveway, affording parking for several cars in front of the detached double garage. There are no immediate neighbours, with open farmland to the front, rear and left hand side, and the grounds of the small 13th century Grade II* listed chapel, St Giles, to the right.

The accommodation within is comfortable and well-maintained, making an ideal family home. The front door opens into a large central hallway with guest cloakroom and doors radiating off to all principal rooms.

There is a splendid living room (21' x 15') with log burner set in stone feature fireplace, windows to three sides and a french window opening to the garden, as well as an excellent separate dining room (19' x 14'), also with log burner.

In addition, the sizeable study is fitted with a comprehensive range of 'Neville Johnson' fitted furniture, making an ideal home office.

The spacious farmhouse-style kitchen forms the hub of the home, well appointed with a range of sage green wall & base cabinets complemented by corian work surfaces, a central island, oil-fired Aga and range of integral appliances to include Neff electric oven, Miele ceramic hob plus microwave and AEG dishwasher. There is also a useful pantry cupboard and separate wine store.

The kitchen area incorporates an open-plan breakfast room, with door out to garden, and also leads off to a separate laundry room with space for washing machine & tumble dryer, and a side entrance hall/ boot room, with in-built storage.

To the first floor there are five very good bedrooms, the master with magnificent views, fitted Neville Johnson wardrobes, dressing table and matching bedside cabinets, also with en-suite access to the fabulous 17' x 11' 'Jack & Jill' bathroom, featuring claw-foot bath, vanity unit with 'his & hers' hand basins, wc, cubicle with mixer shower, chrome heated towel rail and door giving direct access to the fifth bedroom, which could of course be used as a dressing room.

There are three further bedrooms, the larger two also enjoying the wonderful views to the front, and a house bathroom.

Outside the gardens extend to around three quarters of an acre in all, laid mainly to lawn with a number of apple trees as well as two pears, a Victoria plum and a handful of ornamental species including rowan, silver birch and a young oak.

The gardens also include a substantial wooden storage shed (19' x 13') with double entrance doors, side window and pedestrian access door.
