Atkinson Street, Childswickham, Broadway, Worcestershire, WR12 7HF

An historically important village house dating from the 14th century with some scope to improve set in a large garden plot on the edge of the Cotswolds.

THE PROPERTY Atkinson House is a fine Grade II* Listed village house dating from the 14th century with 16th and 19th century alterations. The property was restored in the late 1960’s.

It is built on a stone plinth, of a half-timber frame beneath a Cotswold and plain tiled roof with a brick chimney stack.

The property retains the expected character features of the era with numerous exposed timbers, ancient trefoil window, a magnificent inglenook fireplace and projecting jetting.

The characterful accommodation is arranged over three floors and is in generally good order but at the same time offers scope for a new purchaser to improve to suit their own tastes.

Floor plans show the arrangement of rooms and the orientation of the property.

In brief the accommodation comprises a rear porch leading to a charming and very well-proportioned sitting room with a double aspect having a magnificent stone Inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam.

Exposed wall and ceiling timbers and a staircase with large moulded handrail and splat balusters rising to the first floor.

A large triple aspect kitchen/dining room overlooking the garden has a good range of cupboards and drawers and various appliances.

There is ample space for a dining table and chairs and for other occasional furniture. Accessed off of a short landing is the bedroom accommodation.

The triple aspect principal bedroom is especially impressive featuring a fully vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers giving a feeling of space which leads through to a spacious en suite bathroom.

A landing bedroom leads through to the guest bedroom and a separate and spacious shower room.

A further staircase rises to the attic floor comprising bedroom three suitable as a single room with a gable end window and exposed timbers.

OUTSIDE Atkinson House is approached over a shared gravel drive into a private parking area to the rear of the house leading to a stone outbuilding/workshop surrounded by areas of garden.

The gardens form a main feature of the property. The main area of garden lies to the west of the house being laid almost entirely to lawn with mature hedges, trees and shrubs to the boundaries.

There is a terrace alongside the rear porch being ideal for outside summer dining. The whole plot extends to about a third of an acre and would suit those purchasers with a keen interest in gardening.

The front facade of house has a lovely climbing Wisteria being much admired in springtime.

POTENTIAL FOR PLANNING Potential exists to convert the stone outbuilding/workshop and extend its floorspace to provide a dwelling house.

Advice has been sought from a qualified planning consultant with a good understanding of achieving such consents. Please refer to the selling agents for more information
