Summary
Nestled within the idyllic rural hamlet of Rowney Green, yet conveniently located just 2.3 miles from the heart of Alvechurch village, this utterly charming detached cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly enchanting country home. Beautifully maintained throughout, the property features three delightful reception rooms, two of which are enhanced by wood burning stoves, alongside a ground floor shower room and two upstairs double bedrooms. While the accommodation is immaculate and ready to enjoy immediately, it also offers exciting scope for a purchaser to personalise and create their own dream home. Set amidst exquisitely landscaped gardens that enjoy both south and north facing aspects, the property further benefits from a detached double garage, driveway parking, and a separate 0.36-acre (approx.) field situated directly opposite, providing a wonderful extension to the outdoor lifestyle on offer.
Description
The accommodation is entered via a spacious entrance hall, a room in its own right, featuring fitted storage cupboards and ample space for occasional seating. Three windows frame delightful views over the gardens, creating a bright and inviting first impression.
A door opens into a characterful dining room, a wonderfully atmospheric space featuring an abundance of original charm, including exposed ceiling beams and an impressive exposed brick inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove.
The kitchen enjoys an abundance of natural light from three windows, including an attractive circular feature window, whilst a vaulted ceiling with exposed rustic beam enhances the sense of space and character. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances including an eye-level NEFF oven, electric hob and fridge.
Also accessed from the dining room is the ground floor shower room and a cosy lounge, where a further exposed brick fireplace with wood-burning stove provides a wonderful focal point. Glazed wooden doors lead through to a stunning sitting room, featuring a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows and fantastic 180-degree views across the beautifully maintained gardens. Double doors open directly onto the garden.
The first floor comprises two double bedrooms, both benefitting from fitted wardrobes.
Outside
The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's most captivating features; a completely private and beautifully established haven that has been lovingly nurtured and thoughtfully planted over many years.
The property is approached via a substantial gravelled driveway, providing ample parking and access to the detached double garage. A gate opens into the enchanting garden, where richly stocked borders create an immediate impression.
The principal south facing garden has been carefully designed to maximise enjoyment of its sunny aspect, featuring a generous patio terrace that provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beautifully planted borders surround the patio, while an adjoining lawn is interspersed with mature shrubs and specimen trees that create a wonderfully established backdrop. A charming summerhouse is tucked away along a winding pathway.
A lawned pathway extends along the eastern boundary, providing access between the front and rear gardens and further enhancing the sense of exploration throughout the grounds. At the far end are a greenhouse and garden shed, while two log stores are conveniently positioned along the front boundary.
Adding further appeal is a separate 0.36-acre (approx.) field located opposite the property. Accessed via a metal five-bar gate and enclosed by mature hedging, the field offers a wealth of possibilities, whether for recreation, gardening pursuits, keeping animals (subject to any necessary consents), or simply enjoying an additional area of private green space. The field also benefits from a useful storage shed.
