The Close, Cleeve Prior, WR11 8LF

A Family Home Designed for Health and Happiness

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the pretty village of Cleeve Prior, this fabulous detached four-bedroom home feels private and welcoming from the moment you arrive. Set behind mature hedgerows with a generous gravel driveway, it’s a wonderful family house that’s been thoughtfully finished with VOC-free paints, oils and materials, meaning the air you breathe is cleaner, fresher and healthier. A rare and very special find.

Step inside to a bright and welcoming hallway, with stairs rising, handy under-stairs storage and a guest cloakroom. The real heart of the home is the reconfigured kitchen and dining space, running across the back of the house and opening straight out to the garden through two sets of French doors. It’s been designed with family life in mind, easy for children to spill outside to play, and perfect for entertaining with friends.

The dining room links to the living room through beautiful oak-framed glazed bi-fold doors, giving you the choice of one large open-plan space or a cosier, more intimate feel when closed. Natural brushed and oiled engineered oak flooring runs throughout the hallway, dining and living rooms, adding warmth and character, while the kitchen is finished with a practical slate-effect tile that’s both smart and easy to live with.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, three generous doubles and a fourth large single that also makes an ideal home office or study. The principal bedroom is a lovely retreat with super floor-to-ceiling ash-framed mirrored wardrobes and its own en suite shower room, while the others are served by a fresh, modern family bathroom.

Outside

The front driveway is laid to gravel and provides plenty of parking and to one side is a good sized integral garage, which not only adds practicality but also offers scope for future conversion. Access to side via garden gate.

The south-facing rear garden is such a lovely space; sun-drenched, private on all sides and framed by mature woodland, it feels tucked away and peaceful. It’s a good size too, with a lawn for children to play, plenty of established shrubs and flower beds, and a paved patio that’s just right for summer meals outdoors. A wisteria and rose-draped pergola brings a splash of colour and charm, making it a garden that works beautifully for both family life and quiet moments of calm.

The property offers direct access to Quarry Lane, with the Heritage Trust owned Sanctuary Wood and Secret Garden just beyond the garden boundary, providing beautiful country walks right on your doorstep.

In summary: a thoughtfully designed family home in a private setting, with the rare benefit of being VOC and toxin-free, blending comfort, style and wellbeing in a superb village location.
