Set on a large, well-defined plot in the peaceful hamlet of Bliss Gate, Walnut Cottage is a substantial Victorian-era detached home offering over 2,400 sq ft of flexible living. The heart of the house is a bright, open-plan kitchen/diner with bi-fold/French doors to the garden, a separate snug and an open reception with a wood-burning stove — ideal for family life and entertaining. The principal suite includes a dressing room and enjoys elevated countryside views, while a second bedroom opens to a private balcony.
Practical benefits include a gated gravel drive, double garage with internal access and extensive parking for multiple vehicles. Mature, partly terraced gardens, a greenhouse and fruit trees add strong outdoor appeal and scope for gardening or informal entertaining. Good broadband and low local crime support home working and family safety, and nearby Bewdley and Kidderminster provide shops, rail links and schooling.
Buyers should note the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler (not a community supply) and the house has solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation, so running costs and upgrade works are possible considerations. The home presents clear potential for internal modernisation or reconfiguration should a purchaser wish to update finishes or improve energy performance.
Overall this is a roomy, semi-rural family house for those seeking generous accommodation, vehicular storage and private gardens. It will particularly suit families or buyers looking for a country-base within reach of towns and commuting links, willing to invest in targeted improvements to tailor the house to modern energy and layout preferences.
