Set on the edge of Rushwick with open field views, this four-bedroom semi-detached house offers adaptable family space across two storeys. The ground floor includes a lounge, dining room, conservatory, kitchen with utility, a handy ground-floor bedroom and shower room, plus a detached office ideal for working from home. Upstairs there are three further bedrooms and a modern family shower room. The property is freehold and offers a decent plot with a landscaped garden and driveway parking.
Built in the late 1970s with timber-frame construction and upgraded double glazing, the house has low-carbon heating via an air-source heat pump and economical electric warm-air systems. These features, together with fast broadband and a sensible layout, make it practical for modern family life and flexible working. The conservatory and rear garden backing onto fields provide peace and privacy, while nearby shops and regular buses give easy access into Worcester and surrounding towns.
Buyers should note some material considerations: the EPC is rated D and the area records above-average crime, which may concern some purchasers. One nearby primary school is currently rated Inadequate by Ofsted, though other local schools have Good or Outstanding ratings. The property dates from 1976–82, so prospective buyers may wish to commission a survey to check the timber frame and services, and to identify any targeted refurbishment.
Overall, Brook Cottage suits a family seeking a roomy, characterful home with a rural feel but city access. It will particularly appeal to those who value outdoor space, flexible home-working accommodation, and energy-efficient heating, while willing to manage or update period-era elements and consider local safety and school factors.
