Grade II listed 17th-century cottage, sympathetically renovated
A beautifully and sympathetically restored 17th-century Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Hanley Castle, this detached home combines historic character with modern comfort. Limewashed exposed beams, a large inglenook fireplace with log burner and bespoke oak doors preserve period charm, while underfloor heating, new double-glazed oak windows and improved insulation provide everyday convenience and warmth.
The ground floor offers flexible family living: a cosy sitting room with inglenook, a separate family room opening to the garden, and a refitted dining kitchen with a useful walk-in pantry and utility/boot room. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a recently refitted family bathroom. Off-street parking for two and a long private rear garden give practical outdoor space for children and entertaining.
Significant recent works were carried out with Listed Building Consent and specialist advice: new wiring, plumbing, windows, insulation and a new oil tank. That careful restoration reduces immediate maintenance but the listed status means future changes will need consent and construction specialists. The property has a single bathroom and some period features mean room sizes and ceiling heights vary.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking a characterful village residence within easy reach of Hanley Castle High School, Malvern and Worcester Parkway. Energy Performance Certificate remains to be confirmed; buyers should note the conservation requirements on a Grade II listed building.
