Property Description
This charming, 100-year-old, 2-bedroom cottage has a pretty façade and character features on display throughout, including exposed timbers and a brick fireplace. There is a refitted kitchen and shower room as well as ample parking and a private rear garden, all within easy walking distance to the local amenities.
The attractive entrance porch leads into the hallway with stairs leading up in front of you and direct access through to the sitting room. This quaint space features exposed wall timbers and a brick fire breast above a timber mantle which houses a wood burning stove, creating a warm, cosy atmosphere.
From here, move through to an inner lobby with storage shelving and a generous walk-in storage cupboard. This area connects the to the kitchen, which features light, stylish units and cupboards to provide plenty of storage as well as open shelving, glass display cupboards, wine rack, integrated dishwasher and gas Rangemaster cooker (available by separate negotiation). There is sufficient room in the kitchen for a breakfast table, enjoying pretty views over the garden. Off the kitchen lies a useful utility area and boot room: this space also has external door at each end which open to the front and rear of the property.
A spacious shower room with modern in design featuring a double walk-in shower cubicle, stylish vanity unit and an attractive chrome radiator completes the downstairs.
Once upstairs you are greeted by characterful timber roof trusses, hinting at the original bones of the building. From here, the landing accesses two bedrooms: the master bedroom overlooks the front of the property and has a storage area sectioned off by a curtain. The second bedroom is currently utilised as a dressing room and overlooks the rear garden. Removing the built-in wardrobes would create sufficient space to accommodate a single bed, if required.
Outside: The property is approached via an extensive gravelled driveway, which provides ample off-road parking. There is also a log store and dedicated area for refuse bins. The rear garden is comprised of a gravel seating area, directly behind the property. A set of brick steps sits between two ornamental raised flower beds and accesses the main lawn garden area. The garden is fully enclosed and not overlooked. There is a pretty potting shed at the far end and an additional, brick storage room adjoining the house.
Area: A sought-after semi-rural location, Astley benefits from having countryside walks on the doorstep as well as the convenience of a Post Office, grocery stores, chemist, two public houses, village hall and recreational play field just a short walk away. For further amenities such as supermarkets, transport hubs and restaurants, the historic town of Stourport and village of Shawley are just a short drive away. Commuting is also convenient with Worcester city centre and junction 6 of the M5 just over 10 miles away.
