Property description
A gorgeous 2-bedroom semi detached Victorian country cottage but very far from typical! - The property sits in particularly fine grounds of about half an acre (to be verified) in the rural village of Astley Burf was meticulously renovated in a sympathetic way about 10 years ago. The confines of this short text would not even come close to doing it justice but suffice to say that personal inspection is essential to appreciate the combination of the position, rolling views and grounds creating a "special package", hand-in-glove with a spacious layout which will surprise! The existing plan could quite easily be re-configured to provide 3 bedrooms with minimal expenditure - see floor plan at www.phippsandpritchard.co.uk Energy Rating: F
DESCRIPTION
"Sunnydene" is beautifully situated at Astley Burf ; a rural but not isolated location about 3.5 miles south from Stourport town centre itself. The Parish of Astley is situated in glorious Worcestershire countryside between the River Severn and the Abberley Hills. There is also easy access to the surrounding major towns of Kidderminster, Droitwich and Worcester. The M5 junction 6, at Worcester, is approximately 13 miles distant. The Village also includes a charming riverside pub called ‘The Hampstall Inn‘, offering food and local Ales. "Sunnydene" itself is a very special semi-detached Victorian cottage with "chocolate box looks" hand in glove with lovely broad gardens and quite amazingly is now to be sold for the very first time having been built for and retained by the same family ever since following an original migration from Birmingham! The property also has an interesting community history being still remembered even today - by those old enough - as the village shop up until the 1930‘s/40‘sThis unique property simply cannot fail to impress and just simply has a really nice comfortable ‘feel‘ which may go some way to explain why never before has it ever come to the market!
