About
A Quaint Period Detached Cottage Situated Within Delightful Grounds Within This Stunning Location And Setting Of Old Storridge.
EPC Rating ''E'' Location & Description The property enjoys a wonderfully secluded rural position close to the Worcestershire border with Herefordshire.
It is conveniently situated approximately two miles from the villages of Alfrick and Leigh Sinton, about five miles from the well served cultural and historic town of Malvern, eight miles from the city of Worcester, ten miles from Bromyard and about twenty miles from the city of Hereford.
It is in the ideal spot for anyone who enjoys walking or riding, standing as it does in some of the most unspoilt and beautiful countryside in the region.
Only a few minutes away on foot is extensive woodland, Old Storridge common and Leigh Brook making it the ideal spot for families with children.
Conifers is a beautifully positioned period detached cottage situated within this idyllic and most popular location of Old Storridge.
The original cottage itself dates back to the 1700's and has been in the current family's ownership for over fifty years and it is only now coming back on to the market due to the need to be closer to local amenities in Great Malvern itself.
The house has been much loved over the fifty years of ownership and has been developed from what was a one up one down cottage to a wonderful family home situated on generous grounds which wrap around the property to all sides.
Opposite the layby, which is not owned by the property but it does use it for parking, steps lead up through double wooden gates to the stepped pedestrian path leading up through the lawned and planted foregarden giving access to the front paved terrace.
The garden is broken into two main lawn areas with wonderful shrub beds displaying colour and vibrance throughout the year and interspersed with mature specimen trees and shrubs.
The garden is enclosed by a hedged and fenced perimeter and a further flight of steps lead up to the period hardwood front door set under a beautiful veranda with wooden supports under the tiled roof of the main property.
The period accommodation offers character and charm set over various levels and all accessed through the hardwood front door which opens through to the dual aspect Dining Room with a rear double glazed window looking out over the wonderful rear garden.
A lovely stone fireplace houses the woodburning stove which is unusual in that it is double opening and can therefore be used from both the dining room and sitting room.
The Sitting Room is accessed via steps from the dining room being a cosy space with dual aspect windows.
The Dining Kitchen is positioned to the left hand side of the property and offers a range of cupboard and drawer units with work surface and a useful shelved larder under stairs rising to first floor.
A door opens through to the ground floor Shower Room which is a useful space and there is a further side hallway giving access to front and rear.
To the first floor the Master Bedroom enjoys a double glazed dormer window with further double glazed window both with views and being a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes.
The main landing is a flexible and versatile space set up as an occasional bedroom. There are two further Double Bedrooms serviced and complimented by the Family Bathroom.
Throughout the property the exposed wall and ceiling timbers are on offer which are a real feature of the house with particular note being the wonderful carved facade of the landing door frame.
Period original doors flow throughout the first floor. To the rear a paved patio area leads to steps up to this generous rear garden.
The first part is laid to lawn with a pedestrian path to the right hand side past planted mature beds to either side and having access to the summer house.
The path continues through a wooden arbour to a further lawn which once would have been a productive vegetable garden which includes soft fruits, two greenhouses and wooden shed.
At the top tier of the garden is a large workshop divided into two areas with wood store to side.
To the side of this a paved parking area with double gates leading out to the original green lane for the area and the property has vehicular and pedestrian access over.
No doubt one of the points of this property is its wonderful location being private and secluded in a quiet environment surrounded by wildlife and mature trees in the surrounding woodland of Old Storridge.
The garden benefits from a further covered store positioned to the side of the property as well as a well and hand pump which we cannot confirm whether it is working or not.
The garden is enclosed by a fenced and hedged perimeter.
