Three bedrooms in traditional red-brick cottage
A traditional three-bedroom cottage in the peaceful hamlet of Pudleston, offering straightforward family living and countryside character. The house combines period red-brick elevations and a slate roof with a sitting room containing an inglenook and wood-burning stove — features that suit buyers seeking charm rather than a fully modernised finish.
Practical outside space includes an enclosed lawned garden with a slabbed terrace for seasonal dining, plus two allocated off-street parking spaces to the front. The property is freehold and set in very low-crime, rural surroundings with fast broadband and no flood risk, making it suitable for regular commuting to Leominster, Tenbury Wells or Hereford.
Buyers should note several clear negatives: the EPC rating is E, heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated — improvements will be needed to raise energy efficiency. Drainage is shared private (septic) and there will be a management charge for communal areas and septic-tank upkeep. Some external and roof maintenance may be required given the age of construction (c.1900–1929).
This cottage will suit a family or couple wanting a rural base with character and potential. It is best for purchasers prepared to carry out energy and cosmetic upgrades rather than those seeking a turnkey home.
