Classic Victorian cottage with panoramic Teme Valley views
Set on the flanks of Ankerdine Hill with sweeping views across the Teme Valley and out to Herefordshire, this Victorian detached cottage is a classic country home for right-sizers or life-stylers. The heart of the house is a well-equipped kitchen with a sociable breakfast bar island and an AGA, leading to two cosy reception rooms — one with a woodburning stove and the sitting room with far-reaching valley views. Light the fire and relax in rooms that balance character features with comfortable living.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms that continue the pattern of excellent outlooks, served by a stylish family bathroom. Practical spaces include a cloakroom and a useful ‘bootility’ room ideal for muddy boots and wet dogs after the many local walks. The terrace and large garden provide a private spot to soak up sunsets, while approximately 0.6 acre of woodland offers scope for exploring and wildlife watching.
The property sits in a remote village setting with very low crime, good mobile signal and average broadband — well suited to rural living though some services are limited locally. Heating is by oil-fired central heating and drainage is private, both important running-cost and maintenance considerations. A public footpath that forms part of the Worcestershire Way crosses the driveway — great for walkers but worth noting for privacy and access.
Knightwick has nearby country pubs and a local surgery, with primary and secondary schools (including The Chantry School catchment) within reach. For buyers seeking character, space and outstanding landscape views rather than an urban commute, this cottage offers a rare mix of charm, outdoor space and tranquility.
