The Ridgeway, Astwood Bank, B96

Held within the same family for over 50 years, the house now presents a unique opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character and longevity - available with no onward chain. For those seeking to preserve the integrity of the setting, there is also the option, by separate negotiation, to purchase the adjoining pastureland extending to approximately six acres, creating an enviable private outlook for years to come.

The house extends to approximately 2,750 sq. ft. and unfolds with a natural sense of balance and proportion. An enclosed entrance porch opens into a wide and welcoming reception hall, where the flow of the home becomes immediately apparent. From here, each of the principal living spaces connects effortlessly, designed as much for entertaining as for everyday living. The kitchen provides a sociable and functional space, with ample room for informal dining and everyday gatherings, while a separate dining room offers a more formal setting. Both rooms are filled with natural light and enjoy a wonderful rural outlook. For those who prefer open-plan living, there is clear scope to combine these spaces, creating a substantial kitchen, living and dining area, subject to the usual consents, offering flexibility to suit modern lifestyles. A well-appointed and spacious utility room is located just off the kitchen, ensuring practicality is seamlessly integrated. Perhaps the most captivating space is the garden room, a beautifully considered addition, featuring a glazed lantern roof that floods the room with natural light. With panoramic views across the garden and beyond, it offers a peaceful retreat throughout the seasons, equally suited to quiet mornings or relaxed entertaining. French doors open onto the rear patio, creating a seamless extension of the space and making it ideal for enjoying the warmer months. A guest w/c completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms continue the home’s sense of comfort and scale. The principal suite benefits from fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite, while bedroom two is a generous double, also featuring built-in storage. Bedroom three is another spacious double, with ample room for fitted furniture if desired. A fourth bedroom offers flexibility, whether as a guest room, study or nursery, and is served by a thoughtfully updated family bathroom. Above, a substantial loft presents further potential, subject to the usual consents.

Pine Ridge houses a double garage with upstairs store offering fantastic annex potential STPP. The gardens are a defining feature, expansive yet thoughtfully composed, with sweeping lawns, mature trees and established planting creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. A paved terrace is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the south-westerly aspect, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining while enjoying views across the rolling countryside beyond.

Situated on the edge of Astwood Bank, The Ridgeway offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find - peaceful, private and surrounded by open countryside, on the Warwickshire/ Worcestershire border yet within easy reach of everyday amenities. The village itself provides a strong sense of community, while nearby Alcester and Redditch offer a broader range of shopping, schooling and transport connections, making this a location as practical as it is picturesque.
