Location & Description
The property enjoys a convenient location close to the centre of the popular village of Cradley on the borders of Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The village itself has a number of facilities including a church, primary school, a local shop/stores and a village hall. It is conveniently located close to the nearby towns of Great Malvern (4 miles), Ledbury (9 miles) and Bromyard (9 miles). The cities of Worcester (approximately 10 miles) and Hereford (approximately 16 miles) are within commuting distance. Transport communications are good. There are main line railway stations in Malvern, Ledbury, Worcester and Hereford. Junction 7 of the M5 at Worcester and Junction 2 of the M50 at Ledbury are within easy reach.

Cradley is set in the heart of some of the most stunning countryside in the region with easy access to a number of notable landmarks including the eight mile range of the Malvern Hills, the Severn Valley and the Worcestershire Way.
Penshurst is a fantastically located detached bungalow situated within this highly regarded village.

The living accommodation is all set on one storey and is in need of some cosmetic refurbishment and modernisation but does benefit from double glazing and gas central heating.

Built in 1949, the property has been extended and reorganised. The original front door, on the north side of the bungalow, which is accessed by steps from Chapel Lane, is not now used (although still available) because the reorganisation created a new front door and entrance hallway on the south side of the property.

This current front door is much better placed for arrival by car, and enables appreciation of fine views to the Malvern Hills.

Access to the current front door and parking is from the unmade part of Chapel Lane and uses a private driveway, over which Penshurst has vehicular and pedestrian right of way. Double wooden vehicle gates lead onto Penshurst's own land, with parking for several cars, and a detached garage.
