Cleobury Mortimer, Kidderminster, Shropshire

Situated on the edge of Cleobury Mortimer, Oakwood Cottage enjoys an enviable position in the heart of South Shropshire countryside.

Cleobury Mortimer is a thriving market town with a range of independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants, together with everyday amenities including a Co-op supermarket, doctor’s surgery and both primary and secondary schools. Excellent road links connect easily to the historic market town of Ludlow, the larger centre of Kidderminster, and further afield to the Midlands.

Approached via a private gated driveway and oak-framed porch, the property opens into a welcoming hallway which runs through the centre of the home, giving access to the principal living areas.

To the left, the kitchen and dining room forms the sociable heart of the house. Fitted with a range of oak-fronted units beneath granite worksurfaces, the room includes a central island with breakfast bar, Rangemaster cooker with matching hood and integrated appliances. A light-filled dining space with French doors opens to the rear patio, ideal for entertaining and alfresco dining. A door leads through to the utility room, which provides further storage, a sink, plumbing for appliances and houses the boiler.

Set to the front of the property, bedroom three offers a versatile space, equally suited as a guest bedroom or study. Further along the hallway, bedroom two is a large double with a stylish en suite shower room, complete with twin wash basins, a sizeable shower enclosure, WC and chrome towel radiator, and twin backlit heated mirrors, one with a shaver socket and one with a Bluetooth speaker. The family bathroom lies opposite and is fitted with a roll-top bath, quadrant shower, WC and wash basin.

At the end of the hallway, glazed double doors open into a generous living room. This welcoming space features wooden flooring, an inglenook-style fireplace with log-burning stove, and French doors leading directly to the conservatory. The conservatory enjoys a vaulted ceiling and wraparound windows, framing uninterrupted views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. A side lobby connects back to the garden and provides staircase access to the office above the garage.

From the main hallway, stairs rise to the principal bedroom suite. This bright, spacious room benefits from built-in storage and a cloakroom with WC and wash basin. A dormer window provides wonderful elevated views across the gardens and landscape beyond.

The home office is positioned above the garage and is accessed via the rear lobby staircase. This flexible space is ideal for home working, hobbies or studio use, and enjoys views towards the hills.

The landscaped gardens are a particular feature of Oakwood Cottage. Lawns, gravel pathways and raised beds are complemented by well-stocked borders, specimen trees and mature planting. A series of seating areas are carefully placed to capture the outlook at different times of day, including a gazebo-covered terrace and gravel patios. Outbuildings include a greenhouse, garden shed and large wood store.

The property is approached via a gated gravel driveway which provides ample parking, including space for a mobile home, and leads to the double garage.
