Stiffords Bridge, Cradley, Malvern, Herefordshire, WR13 5NN

Utterly adorable home oozing character and charm. Built around 1876 there is something infinitely appealing at every twist and turn. With three double bedrooms, main en suite, large sitting/dining room, open plan living area, garden room, fireplaces, cellar, store and grounds surrounded by open farm land and rolling countryside.

Brook House is timeless, very much loved with a wonderful feel that will completely envelop you. Laid out over three storeys it is the ground floor with a modern layout and an expanse of open space that sets it apart.

The 25' long sitting room and open plan kitchen/living areas are both roomy and light. This is only enhanced by a modern garden room with a wall of windows. Interestingly, the rooms also feel invitingly snug and warm aided by a new log burning stove, regularly used fireplaces and the kitchen AGA. Olde world features including parquet wooden flooring, exposed timbers, sash windows and some surprisingly tall ceilings. Off the kitchen you will find a handy utility room, cloakroom, store and little courtyard.

Head up the stairs to find three equally large double bedrooms all with garden views. The main bedroom includes an en suite shower room. The main landing is wide and in part used as a walk-in wardrobe outside bedrooms 2 and 3. It is both practical and quaint.

Beyond its steep history and beautifully eccentric touches the owners, who have spent the last twenty six years living here, have recently spent a considerable sum of money landscaping the front garden, installing new fencing and levelling the driveway. They also renovated the roof and bought a piece of land to the rear; the whole garden, which isn't overlooked, now amounts to half an acre in size. Note the front of the house is Grade II listed to ensure its historic charm..

The large basement/workshop which is the size of the double sitting room above and easily accessed via the main entrance hall is a real bonus. With good head height it offers super potential to create a family room, games room, office, or gym; the options are endless! It also benefits from a side door leading out to the covered wood store and front drive..

The Red Lion at Stiffords Bridge is diagonally across the road and offers great ales, lagers, decent food and Sunday lunch. There are magnificent walks in all directions and Cradley has an excellent local shop, great school, and doctors.

Kindly note Brook House is situated next to the road so there is traffic noise but I can't stress enough that this property must be seen to fully appreciate its beauty.

If you want to bring your children up in a home with a fabulous garden, be within easy access of Worcester and Malvern then this may well be the house for you? Please call Andrea at ChocolateBox and I will delighted to arrange a viewing at your earliest convenience.
