A private driveway leads to the property, splitting with one side leading to the main house and the other providing access to the bespoke garage, former dairy, workshop, stone barn and timber barns.

Entering the main house, the hallway provides access to the drawing room, dining room, stairs rising to the first floor, stairs to the cellar and access to the rear hallway.

All the windows still have the original shutters fitted adjacent to the drawing room, the dining room also features shutters, original clay tiles and a large open fireplace and comfortably fits a table for ten.

Beneath the main staircase lies the entrance to the cellar, which has been tanked and is approximately the same size of the drawing room above, fully carpeted with power and radiators, this versatile space offers ample storage but equally holds the potential to become an inviting games or cinema room.

Continuing through the home, the rear hallway grants access to the kitchen diner, downstairs WC, study, and rear porch. The WC is appointed with a Victorian-style toilet and sink, while the recently renovated study/office features a fitted desk and cabinets for storage, designed, built and installed by Strachan of Leeds.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen diner and orangery stand out with their exceptional design and underfloor heating. The kitchen was designed and fitted by Culina & Balneo of Malvern and the solid walnut cabinets were manufactured by Stoneham of Sidcup Kent. The built -in appliances are all manufactured by Gaggenau and include double oven, microwave/combi oven, plate warmer, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and an induction hob. The large wine fridge is manufactured by Siemens. There is also a boiling hot water Quooker tap.

In the orangery, a sky lantern with built-in electric blinds for shade or insulation as required, bathes the space in natural light, while double doors opening to the patio create an ideal flow for entertaining on warm days. For winter evenings, the modern Nordpeis log burner adds a cozy warmth to the room.

At the rear of the property, a designated boot area with built-in cabinets offers practical storage, leading to the utility room which houses the Worcester Bosch 3250 Boiler and is equipped with a sink and plumbing for a washing machine. Off the rear porch, the snug presents a charming retreat, featuring a vaulted ceiling, log burner, and characterful exposed brick and beams.

Upstairs, bedrooms two and three sit at the front of the house, offering views of Abberley clock tower on clear days. Bedroom three includes an en-suite with a roll-top bath, sink, freestanding shower, and WC, while bedroom two features a charming fireplace and access to the Jack-and-Jill-style family bathroom. This spacious family bathroom is also fitted with a roll-top bath, sink, WC, and walk-in shower.

The master bedroom, positioned at the rear of the property, comfortably accommodates an emperor-sized bed and features built-in wardrobes along with a spacious en-suite. The en-suite is fitted with a double sink, walk-in shower, and WC. Adjacent to the master, a walk-in wardrobe with oak cabinetry provides generous storage and could serve as a fourth bedroom if desired. Completing the first floor is a large airing cupboard with lofts above the bedrooms being fully boarded and insulated.

Outside, the property features outdoor electrical outlets and six conveniently positioned external taps, and a beautiful porcelain patio accessible from the drawing room, orangery, and rear porch. Steps lead down to the main lawn, framed by lovely mature borders and a variety of established trees. Spanning 12 acres, the grounds include productive farmland and an area that would be ideal for a paddock.

The outbuildings adjacent to the main house include the kennels, former dairy, a workshop, and a stone barn. All are equipped with power, and benefit from active, approved planning permission for additional accommodation.

The current vendors have constructed a bespoke triple garage, featuring a tandem layout with a double garage at the front and a single garage at the rear. This garage is equipped with an electric door. Towards the rear of the property, a timber barn is currently used for storage; however, it would be suitable for conversion into an indoor swimming pool, and sauna area subject to the necessary planning permissions.

This property offers a unique opportunity with the various outbuildings whilst the main house has been refurbished with attention to design, detailing, and quality. The main property still showcases numerous original period features and timbers throughout. A unique, much-treasured residence, that is now looking for it's next owner.
