Set on a generous corner plot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this four-bedroom detached house offers family-sized living with direct access to a communal meadow and ancient Wardsdown woodland. The house has been recently renovated: a refitted Wren kitchen and utility, upgraded bathrooms, new first-floor carpet and improved insulation have raised the EPC to a B and cut running costs. Solar panels with an inverter and a 12.9 kWh battery provide substantial energy savings.
Accommodation is well arranged for family life, with two reception rooms, a dual-aspect living room with wood-burning stove and French doors to a landscaped rear garden, plus a downstairs cloakroom. The first-floor principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower and fitted wardrobes; three further bedrooms are all good sizes with built-in storage. A large insulated loft offers additional storage or conversion potential (subject to consent).
Outside, a double detached garage and widened gravel driveway provide generous parking for several cars. The plot includes a high-spec insulated and powered Malvern garden building, workshop, greenhouse and shed — useful for home working, hobbies or a gym. Private rear access leads straight into meadow and woodland trails down to Bewl Water, ideal for outdoor family activities and dog walking.
A few practical points to note: the property sits at the end of an un-adopted stretch of road (limited streetlighting and local responsibility for maintenance), and council tax is in Band F which will affect running costs despite lower energy bills. The house was built c.1996–2002 and has double glazing installed before 2002; some original frames were restored but some elements may show age. Overall this is a comfortable, energy-efficient family home in an attractive rural village setting with excellent broadband and mobile signal.
