The Yard, Winchcombe Road, Sedgeberrow, Evesham, WR11

A charming Grade II Listed cottage sat within considerable gardens, located in a well-regarded Worcestershire village.


Description

The White House was originally a barn dating from the C17th, later divided into two cottages, most-likely in the mid C19th. In was converted into one singular dwelling in 2003.

It is built in brick with painted and timbered elevations under a thatched roof. Grade II Listed, the cottage was refurbished in 2007/2008 including damp proofing, re-wiring and re-plumbing. However, it is in need of further modernisation and/or completion works.

The property was re-thatched in Turkish reed in 1998/1999 and the ridge of the thatch was replaced in 2019. There are a wealth of period features throughout the property including timber latch doors, exposed beams and working fireplaces. At present the accommodation is based on three reception rooms across the front of the property, with a large kitchen breakfast across the back, overlooking and opening onto the gardens.

As the property was previously two cottages there are still two staircases to the first floor, each leading to two bedrooms and a bathroom. The property may therefore lend itself to buyers looking for annexe or similar, potential.

The cottage sits off the 'no-through private road' with ample parking and a detached garage with workshop space, and power and light. There is also a large aluminium framed greenhouse, timber summerhouse and timber shed housing the filtration unit for the swimming pool.

The swimming pool measures 32’ x 16’ with a depth from 3ft to 9 feet. The gardens are a lovely feature being laid to lawn with an orchard area and bordered on one side by the River Isbourne. The total area extends to 1.6 acres.
