This characterful three-bedroom Victorian semi-detached cottage in Ombersley is offered chain-free and ready for sympathetic updating. The house retains period features such as brickwork, bay window and exposed arches, and provides flexible accommodation across cellar, two main floors and an attic bedroom. A through lounge/diner and kitchen/breakfast room give comfortable family living space, while the rear garden, summer room with integrated pool and workshop add useful versatility.
The property requires renovation and modernisation throughout — the kitchen dates from the 1980s, heating is by electric room heaters and the Energy Performance Certificate is rated F. These are practical issues to address but also create scope to add value through improvements, re-plumbing, re-wiring and installing central heating. The layout and plot make modest extensions possible, subject to planning.
Externally there is off-road parking, a detached single garage and a relatively large plot for a village setting. The location suits families seeking village life: good local primary schools (including a nearby Ofsted-rated Good school), community amenities and reliable mobile signal. Overall this is a well-located period home for a buyer prepared to invest in updating to realise its full potential.
