3 Bedroom Detached For Sale

Property description

Ideal as a second/holiday home and anyone wishing for a home with original period features and unusual character.  Constructed in traditional wattle and daub technique with a thatched roof which provides a good level of roof insulation, the house has the original large inglenook fireplace which houses a WOOD-BURNER and additional heating is provided by electric individual thermostatically controlled heaters.

Harvington is located close to Bidford-on-Avon between Stratford-upon-Avon and Evesham and a regular bus service runs between the two so a car is not a necessity.  There is also a mainline railway station 3.4 miles away in Evesham which runs between Malvern and London Paddington, also travelling through Oxford, so this property would be ideal for anyone looking for a weekend escape.  Harvington itself has a thriving community spirit with a gardening club, youth club, theatrical society, cricket club and even a handbell ringers' club at St. James' Church. There are also two pubs in the village, including the Coach & Horses opposite, a family run traditional country pub which won Camra 'Shakesbeer' branch pub of the year this year and was also runner up in the Worcestershire County pub of the year.

The property is situated on the corner of the village side of Anchor Lane and Church Street and the house is set back from the road and footpath by a front garden with raised bed planted with a variety of flowering shrubs, Lavender and small trees, including a plum tree.  There is a driveway to the side laid to pea gravel providing OFF-ROAD PARKING and leading to a traditional rustic trellis fence featuring specimen Magnolia and archway/arbour covered with climbers.  An archway from the arbour and pathway laid to pebbles with borders to the sides leads to the traditional wooden front door with exterior light over opening to:
