Parkfield Cottage is a charming three-bedroom village home dating from c.1850, packed with original character and thoughtful modern upgrades. The cottage was converted and modernised in the 1990s and retains features such as exposed floorboards, stripped doors, sash windows, original fire surrounds and the former bakehouse now fitted with a log burner. The kitchen/dining space is generous and well-equipped with shaker-style units, solid wood worktops and a range-style cooker. A glass-covered hallway provides a light, contemporary approach that links the traditional rooms.
The property sits on a decent plot with an east-facing lawn and slate patio for morning sun and al fresco dining. There is off-street parking for two cars on the shared driveway; three garden sheds are included. The family bathroom was refitted in 2022 with a freestanding bath and large walk-in shower, and the house benefits from mains gas boiler and radiators and double glazing (install date unknown).
Important practical points: the house is solid-brick as built, with no known cavity insulation (assumed uninsulated walls), so heating costs and retrofit work should be considered. There is a single family bathroom serving three bedrooms and a pedestrian right of way across the drive provides access to the neighbouring property. Mobile coverage indoors is limited; broadband is standard to superfast where available. Council tax is in Band E (above average).
This cottage will appeal to buyers seeking period character in a quiet village with countryside on the doorstep, good primary schooling and straightforward commuter links to Worcester and the M5. It offers immediate comfortable living with scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise further to taste.
