Cobble Cottage is a character-filled four-bedroom village home set on a large plot with far-reaching views to the Malvern Hills. Parts of the property date back to around 1500, and original features — exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with bread oven and timber detailing — give the house authentic period charm alongside practical living spaces such as a large dining room and conservatory. The layout suits family life with flexible accommodation, including a study that can serve as a fourth bedroom and a conservatory that opens onto a private, mature garden.
Practical strengths include a generous gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles, useful outbuildings (workshop/garage and timber shed), a sizeable vegetable patch and chicken coop, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The home is double glazed throughout apart from the kitchen, and heating is by a boiler and radiators (LPG listed as the main fuel; oil heating is also referenced), but buyers should verify services and fuel arrangements. Council tax is band D.
Buyers should be aware of a few material considerations. There is a single bathroom for a four-bedroom house, and historic construction details suggest cavity walls with no added insulation — improving thermal performance may be needed. The property description mixes period origins with later construction data; a full survey is recommended to confirm building dates, condition and any works required. Overall, the cottage offers a rare blend of rural tranquillity, spacious family living and period character close to Pershore and Worcester, but sensible pre-purchase checks will be important.
