Summary - Monks Close, Dock Lane, Bredon GL20 7LG
Grade II listed cottage with strong period character
Monks Close is a charming three-bedroom, Grade II listed cottage set at the foot of Bredon Hill, recently and thoughtfully renovated to create a comfortable family home. The accommodation includes three good-sized reception rooms, a fitted kitchen-diner with exposed beams and a cosy sitting room with a stove. A walled, west-facing garden with raised deck provides private outdoor space and a pleasant backdrop to the house.
The owner has retained much period character — exposed beams, original brickwork and fireplaces — while updating services and fittings for modern living. The property benefits from mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, all useful for everyday family life and working from home. Kerbside parking for one to two cars and very low local crime add practical appeal.
There are important practical points to note: as a Grade II listed building any structural changes or external alterations will require listed building consent and may restrict some renovation options. The EPC is F and the property has solid brick walls that likely lack modern cavity insulation, which may mean higher running costs despite recent upgrades. The site is in an area of medium flood risk and the drainage is private — prospective buyers should check flood insurance and drainage arrangements.
Overall, this is a well-presented period cottage for a family who values village life, character features and a private walled garden, but buyers should be comfortable with listing constraints and take professional advice on energy efficiency and flood risk before committing.
