Gardners Meadow, Bewdley, DY12 2DG

Unique and definitely unusual, this mid-terrace home began life as two adjoining properties and has since been transformed into a single, spacious dwelling full of character and flexibility, with the potential to be reinstated as two separate homes if desired.

Freehold and ideally located within level walking distance of the town centre, riverside walks, and the tranquil Jubilee Gardens, the home offers both convenience and charm.

To the front, an entrance porch opens into an inviting reception room with coving, twin ceiling light points, two radiators with decorative covers, and a front-facing UPVC window. A wooden double-glazed door leads through to the conservatory, constructed in UPVC with a pitched polycarbonate roof, tiled floor, lighting, power, and radiator. From here, doors open onto a low-maintenance enclosed garden with paved patio, fenced boundaries, and gated access to ample rear parking.

The kitchen, accessible via the conservatory, is generous in size—perfect for dining and entertaining—with a country-style finish. It features an extensive range of wall and base units with roll-edged worktops, under-unit lighting, wood-effect LVT flooring, and a one-and-a-half bowl composite sink with mixer tap. There’s an integrated Bosch microwave and further space for white goods. A door leads to a cloakroom, once the second entrance, now fitted with quarry tiles, a vanity basin, macerator WC, and consumer unit.

Upstairs, the landing opens to an adaptable dressing or study area with radiator, lighting, and window to the rear. There are two bedrooms, the principal being notably large and easily converted back into two separate rooms if desired, complete with built-in storage and airing cupboard. The bathroom impresses with both a freestanding claw-foot bath and separate shower cubicle, complemented by partially tiled walls, pedestal basin, WC, heated towel rail, and Velux roof window.

The home benefits from double glazing, gas-fired central heating, and is not part of the neighbouring retirement complex, meaning it’s available for purchase by any age group.

The rent charge covers a fair proportion of management fees, insurance, communal lighting, and grounds maintenance. For the year ending February 2025, the total cost was £186.86, with the next review due February 2026.

A rare opportunity to acquire a property of this nature—viewings are highly encouraged.

Please note this is not a retirement home.
