Detached three-bedroom home with countryside balcony views
Very large private garden backing onto open fields
Planning permission granted for garage, carport and log store
Multiple reception rooms plus conservatory and office
Septic tank drainage — periodic maintenance required
Heating via LPG boiler and bulk tank (no mains gas)
Very slow broadband — not ideal for heavy remote working
Council tax band F — noted as expensive
Set back in peaceful Worcestershire countryside, The Brambles is a spacious three-bedroom detached home arranged over two floors and well suited to family life. Living spaces include a generous living room with a double-sided multi-fuel burner, a garden room with bi-fold doors, dining room, conservatory and a useful office — all flowing to a decked terrace and large lawned garden that backs onto open fields. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite and a private balcony with extensive countryside views.
Practical positives include a very large plot with mature trees, a wide gravel driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, and planning permission (Ref: 241825) already granted for a detached garage, carport and log store. The kitchen links to a utility and conservatory, offering a functional family layout with room to adapt. The property is close to Clifton-upon-Teme village amenities, local primary schools and has reasonably straightforward road links to Worcester and nearby towns.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is from an LPG-fed boiler with a bulk tank rather than mains gas, and drainage is to a septic tank — both factors that affect running costs and servicing. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which may impact home working, and the property sits in council tax band F, noted as expensive. The house’s solid-brick construction (no known cavity insulation) suggests there is potential for energy-efficiency improvements and some refurbishment if desired.
Overall, this is a roomy, well-presented family home in a quiet, rural setting with genuine scope to add value (garage/carport already approved) and plenty of private outdoor space. It will appeal to buyers prioritising countryside privacy, flexible living areas and long-term improvement potential, but those needing high-speed internet or mains gas should factor in the compromises and likely additional costs.
