Mulberry House, Crowle

Call Rosanagh or Emily on 01242-384-444 for more information or to arrange a viewing.

We are delighted to introduce the perfect home for a growing family that offers all the space and practicality you could desire along with a brilliant location on the edge of the thriving village of Crowle.

You’re just a 15-minute drive from Worcester and Droitwich, but there’s everything you need right on the doorstep including a shop, café, pre-school, First school, pub, garage, post office, parish hall, church and playground.  For a small rural community, Crowle is exceptionally well served.

Built just ten years ago and nestled within an exclusive development of just 14 similar detached executive-style homes, Mulberry House has been designed to make family life run as smoothly and pleasurably as possible.  Traditional comforts and space are at its heart with a fabulous 26x12ft kitchen/family room leading the way – it’s the heart of family life and the place that everyone gathers to cook, eat, chat and unwind.

The living room is equally bright, spacious and welcoming, and there’s a third reception room too with a lovely bay window.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe – it’s a delightful self-contained oasis of relaxation for the grown-ups – and there’s a second bedroom with en-suite plus two more doubles.

Then there’s a nicely kept garden with entertaining terraces and lawn for the children to play and a detached double garage and ample parking.

A fine family home

First impressions count, and Mulberry House is a winner on that front.  The handsome redbrick double-fronted house occupies a large corner plot on this quiet cul-de-sac while the detached double garage stands at a right angle to the house, separated by a large expanse of hedged lawn, with parking space in front for several cars.

Step through the front door into the entrance hall for a first glimpse of this warm and welcoming electric centrally-heated house and the white-painted staircase rising to the galleried landing. There’s a cloakroom with WC at the end of the hall, and a useful understairs cupboard.

To the left is the 14x10ft study that’s flooded with natural light via a bay window.  It offers flexibility of use – a formal dining room, playroom or home office are possible alternatives.

Next to this, double oak doors glide open to reveal the refined 20x13ft living room, the perfect place for the family to relax in front of the TV or for welcoming visitors.  In the winter months it’s cosy and warm in front of the wall-inset wood burner while, when summer arrives, the French doors can be flung open to create a delightful free-flow link with the rear garden.

You’ll find space for everything and everyone within the super-spacious kitchen/family room which stretches the entire depth of the house and basks in light via a big window to the front, bay window to the side and French doors to the rear.

Large free-flow spaces make for a happy and relaxed life, and that’s endorsed here where there’s more than ample room for everyone to get together for everything from quick breakfasts to family suppers or refined candlelit dining.  The neutral décor adds to the cool, laidback vibe and it’s replicated throughout the house.

The sleek cream fitted kitchen has heaps of cupboard and drawer space under black quartz worktops and is neatly configured at the front of the house with the sink under the window for you to watch the world go by while washing up!  There are integral electric double ovens, electric hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and wine fridge.

You can fit a dining table as large as you like at the other end of the room, plus a sofa and a big wall-mounted TV too, if desired.  The bay window is the perfect place for a coffee table and comfy chair, made-to-measure for a morning cuppa and a browse of the papers – this room really does cover all bases in great style.  French doors open onto the large paved garden terrace.

The adjoining utility room takes care of the laundry duties with plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer.

And so to bed . . .

All four bedrooms are generously sized and the principal suite leads the way.  This 13x11ft haven encompasses an en-suite bathroom with bathtub and shower cubicle plus a super walk-in wardrobe with enough rails and storage space for even the most ardent fashionista.

With its en-suite shower room, the 14x12ft second bedroom would be perfect for guests.  It also has a large built-in wardrobe.

The two remaining bedrooms are also generously sized and ideal for children or teenagers – there’s plenty of space for toys or teenagers’ desks and computer equipment.  They share the modern family bathroom.

Into the garden

As well as the expanse of lawn to the front of Mulberry House there’s a private and peaceful garden to the rear, fully fenced and with a big L-shaped terrace that’s perfect for summer relaxation, al fresco dining and entertaining.  There’s nothing nicer than sundowners at the end of a long day or firing up the barbecue when friends come round.  

Children can play on the lawn and there’s an additional corner patio that catches the morning sunshine.

A timber shed takes care of storing the mower and garden tools while a door opens into the garage where there’s further boarded storage in the vaulted roof space.

Round and about

Self-sufficient in every way, Crowle lacks for nothing when it comes to community spirit, facilities and fun!

Surrounded by gently rolling countryside and all it presents in terms of endless scenic walking, cycling and horse-riding, the village cherishes a magical mix of rural tranquility, on-the-doorstep necessities, and close proximity to the fabulous historic city of Worcester.

The community shop and café are run by volunteers, serving the essential groceries alongside coffee and cake, while the local pub, The Chequers, offers an innovative menu and is highly rated.  The village church, St John the Baptist, is firmly at the heart of the community with regular worship and events such as a harvest lunch and Christmas craft fair.  The monthly village newsletter, the Crowle Cryer, keeps all the villagers in the loop.

The nearest supermarket is Waitrose, just a ten-minute drive away towards Worcester.  Additionally there is large Tesco with an in-store Pharmacy.  There’s further shopping and leisure options in nearby Droitwich Spa while Worcester itself has a buzzing city centre with excellent shopping, a world-class programme of cultural events, county cricket and horse-racing.

There’s an amazing array of clubs, meetings and classes held at Crowle Parish Hall - it lies next to the village playground, trim trail, boules pitch and tennis courts.

Education is a priority for families and Crowle has its own primary, Crowle CE First School, within a short stroll of home.  The nearest secondary is Nunnery Wood High School (three miles) and there’s a choice of excellent independent schools including Bowbrook House, Norton College, River School, King’s School and Royal Grammar School – all within a five-mile radius.

And when it comes to commuting, Crowle is an absolute winner being just three miles from junction 6 of the M5 with direct access to Birmingham and beyond.  Mainline rail services run from Worcester, Worcestershire Parkway and Droitwich to Birmingham and London Paddington.
