Set within about 1.2 acres of level, well-landscaped gardens, this substantial five-bedroom detached house offers 3,500 sq ft of light, flexible family living in a peaceful rural setting between Himbleton and Inkberrow. The live-in kitchen with AGA opens into a dining and sitting area with a wood-burner and twin doors onto terraces — an obvious heart for everyday life and entertaining. Three further generous reception rooms, each with a wood-burner, give family members plenty of room to spread out.
Upstairs the principal suite is a highlight, with double doors and a balcony framing wide countryside views, generous dressing space and a stylish ensuite with roll-top bath. Four additional double bedrooms and the family bathroom complete the sleeping accommodation. Practical ground-floor features include a utility/boot room, a WC with shower and a second shower room downstairs, useful for muddy boots or returning from the garden.
The grounds are both private and versatile: level lawns, secluded terraces for sunset views and mature planting that flowers strongly in warmer months. Outbuildings include traditional timber stables and a large open-sided barn that presents clear potential — storage, covered parking for classic cars or conversion subject to consents. Vehicular access is gated with a second lane gate for convenience.
Important practical points: heating is oil-fired with private drainage, and the house is a solid-brick construction predating 1900, which may mean little built-in wall insulation and higher running costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The hamlet location gives a quiet, rural lifestyle with bus links to Worcester schools and nearby village facilities, but mobile signal is average and amenities are a short drive away.
