Property description
An idyllic rural hideaway comprising a spacious individual extended 4 bedroom detached country property set in a stunning rural location with 3.5 acres of delightful gardens, large out-buildings, paddock and woodland.
Located in a wonderful rural setting amidst beautiful surrounding countryside, Tilter Down was originally a period stone cottage that has over recent years been well extended with modern additions by the present vendors to provide excellent well proportioned family sized accommodation with 4 bedrooms, a large refitted kitchen and adjoining breakfast area, 2 reception rooms, 2 bathrooms plus other accommodation set out on two levels all benefitting from oil central heating.
The property is very privately sited within its own gardens and grounds close to the village of Pensax which is located on the northern banks of the Teme Valley with its own church, village hall and the popular Bell Inn. The sought after village of Abberley is also nearby and has good local amenities including the renowned Abberley Hall School and the subject property is also within the catchment area for the Chantry High School at Martley. The surrounding commercial centres of Worcester, Kidderminster and Tenbury Wells are all within reasonable commuting distance of the property and provide extensive educational, leisure and shopping facilities.
