DESCRIPTION This much-loved family farmhouse has been owned by the present vendors for the period of the last 54 years. They have carried out a significant extension to the house to create what has been historically used as a first floor flat with independent staircase access.

Bowpit Farm enjoys quite stunning uninterrupted views over its land towards Malvern Hills. There are also further lovely views to the west.

The generous and character family accommodation is enhanced by some fine exposed timbers. The house is very flexible and is a wonderful package for a country home buyer.

It is approached by the original reception hall with flagstone floor. Leading off this are two reception rooms, the sitting room with splendid inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and exposed timber frame. The spacious dining room has a brick fireplace in handsome oak surround, exposed timber frame and brickwork and door to the exterior.

Lying adjacent to these two reception rooms is the good-sized breakfast kitchen with range of wall and floor mounted oak cupboards, tiled working surfaces, Belfast sink unit, oil fired Rayburn and understairs storage cupboard and china pantry. There is a rear hallway leading to a lounge with integral cupboard and gorgeous views.

Also on the ground floor is a useful shower room and bedroom which has been used as an office.

The first floor provides four bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, a family bathroom, dressing room and a utility/small kitchen area with door and staircase to the rear. There is a splendid studio with vaulted roof and striking triangular window. Like many rooms it enjoys incredible views.
 

OUTSIDE Bowpit Farm is approached via a metal bar field gate and a country style driveway with adjoining dew pond.

The driveway continues to the side of the house and to the substantial outbuildings.

This is a large L shaped period barn with conversion potential (subject to planning) together with an adjoining carport. The barn is presently subdivided into five stores with power supply.

A basement and cloakroom, both with external access.

Delightful garden room situated within the courtyard next to the house with woodburning stove, boiler room and log store.
