Location
White Leaved Oak is steeped in local myth and legend. The area takes its name from a once-revered oak tree with unusually pale leaves-believed to be a sacred Druidic site and a marker of ancient ley lines. This atmospheric corner of Worcestershire lies near the borders of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire, surrounded by the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering stunning walks, cycling routes, and a rich sense of history and community.

Description
A Totally Unique, Versatile Home with Potential For Multi-Generational living/Working From Home in a Historic Setting.

Tucked away in the tranquil and much-coveted hamlet of White Leaved Oak, Hillview Cottage is a truly exceptional, fully renovated property offering a rare blend of character, versatility, and modern comfort. With split-level living, a mature and well stocked sloped garden and two separate driveways providing off-road parking, this home has been thoughtfully designed for flexible family living, or the ideal lifestyle investment with annexe potential.

At the heart of the property is the charming, traditional stone-built cottage dating back approximately 150 years. The cottage has been fully refurbished to a high standard and adjoins the main house via the utility room yet maintains its own access and privacy. Whether you're seeking a multi-generational home, guest accommodation, or a lucrative holiday let, this space is ready to adapt to your needs.

Set across varying levels, the main home enjoys panoramic countryside views and a fluid layout that flows with the gentle contours of its surroundings. The sloping garden is both picturesque and practical, offering two paved seating areas, mature shrubs, terraced vegetable beds for the keen gardener, compost bins, bicycle store, and a useful garden shed.
