GENERAL INFORMATION AND APPROACH
Hillgrove Crescent Kidderminster is a saught after -established mature tree lined upmarket residential street, situated on the Bromsgrove side of Kidderminster. A mixture of traditional and modern homes, with good road and rail network links. The area boasts both private and state schools.

Blink and you will miss this one! In fact without the board pointing you in the right direction, the property cannot be seen from the roadside at all. The Tarmacadam driveway is over 150 feet in length and that’s how this house can protect its privacy.

Travel slowly up that driveway which opens out into a spacious parking area. Here you have your first glimpse of this pretty colour washed pebble dashed property. You cannot fail to be impressed and stand in awe at the sheer scale of this grand imposing superior extended property as it stands serenely within the well tended gardens which wrap around the property and in the entire plot is around a third of an acre. From this point however it is impossible to comprehend the size! Pedestrian gated access to the garden through to the rear.

Due to its location, children and animals are quite safe.

Aptly named ‘The Summit’ 48 Hillgrove Crescent Kidderminster is believed to be the highest property in the area.

A very spacious property, believed to have been originally built in the early 1930s and extended some years ago, to provide what can be a totally separate annexe accommodation if required or indeed incorporated back into the main house.

One really does need to cross the threshold and begin your journey through this wonderful family home, having so much on offer!

Excellent room sizes, light and airy accommodation. The total square footage is in excess of 2500 square feet!

Bygone architecture still evident; however they have been complimented well and sit happily side by side the modern day comforts and requirements.

Where possible the internal doors are the original six panel ones, some stripped and varnished some still painted white. The door height is lower than in modern day houses.

Go on, allow yourself the privilege of exploring, this deceptively spacious family home, it will be well worth it Honest! Just allow your self time to indulge!

Tarmacadam driveway, having close board fencing and dense shrubbery to the sides opening up into parking area. Having ample outside security lighting, wrought iron gated access to the garden and beyond. Brimming borders to sides offering high degree of privacy.

Kidderminster was once the capital throughout the world for its carpet manufacturing industry has survived the decline of this major employment and business and diversified into a thriving town. Old buildings which were in times gone by, full of workers and a hive of activity had fallen into disrepair. Now they have been brought back to life to provide us with some history and a new generation of occupants and usage.

The canal was used for the transport of goods and fuel for these large factories, yet now provides the back drop for the eating houses and shops etc which nestle beside the water. Many visitors will use the waterways on their narrow boats which are navigable between Kidderminster, Wolverley, Stourport and Birmingham. Change has happened yet the town is bustling again with vibrant appealing shops and eating establishments.

Never far away from grand scenery and wide open spaces. The Wyre Forest boasts wonderful wildlife and many miles of footpaths.

For those football fans amongst us, the Kidderminster Harriers ground is close by.

Stourport is a well visited river side town with many day and holiday trippers. The town has a wide selection of shops and amenities including doctor’s surgeries, dentist, library, vet, chemists, paper shop, swimming pool and leisure centre, various other shops and many varied eating houses. There are three super markets, butchers and greengrocer although not large however does have something for everyone.

Bewdley is a quaint Georgian riverside town growing in stature from its trade from the Severn to the present day, supplemented now by the many visitors who come to Bewdley from all over the world.

Ideal location for commuting, with a good road network to M5, M6, M42, Birmingham and Worcester all within travelling distance. Kidderminster has a railway station which provides travel to London, Worcester etc. The station is within walking distance of this house.

The golf course is under a mile away for those of you who enjoy this game.

The golden age of steam can be enjoyed at the Severn Valley Railway, (part of the old closed line) Several events are hosted by them throughout the year and draws hoards of visitors to the town. Many films have been staged on the platforms at Kidderminster, Bewdley and Arley. The West Midlands Safari Park is on the outskirts of Bewdley with many endangered features. The park was recently featured on mainstream television.

The Wyre Forest with its wildlife and pathways is ideal for the avid walker and is to be found right on the doorstep.

This would make an ideal home for even the largest of families, or extended families. Superb for those who wish to work from home yet wish to keep it completely separate from the main house. Would make a great bed and breakfast, nursery, conversion into luxury apartments or the like subject to the usual planning and building consent

Indeed anyone who appreciates quality and older properties, who want peace an quiet yet needs to be commutable for work purposes then this could be the one!

Internal inspection is a must. Don’t just take our words……… Go on book that viewing now.
