Lickhill Road, Stourport-on-Severn, DY13

Behind the modest façade lies something truly special. From the street, this circa 1910 semi-detached home is quietly understated. Tidy, traditional, and in keeping with its neighbours, it gives little away. Yet step inside and the story changes completely.   Beyond the attractive period-style composite door and glazed oak inner door, the house begins to reveal its charm. A long reception hall leads past a useful office area, utility and cloakroom, with original red quarry floor tiles adding a lovely nod to the home’s heritage. To the front sits a cosy reception room, perfect for quieter evenings or perhaps a ground floor bedroom.    There is driveway parking for two family-sized cars, gated side access, and a garage with electric remote roller shutter door, power, lighting, water, and internal access.   Then comes the surprise.   At the end of the hallway, a slimmer door invites you through into a breathtaking living, dining kitchen. Full-width bi-fold doors frame the garden beyond, flooding the space with natural light. A beautifully fitted kitchen with island, generous dining area and relaxed seating space create the true heart of the home. It is elegant, practical and clearly designed for living, not simply for selling.   Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms. One enjoys fitted wardrobes and a full en suite bathroom, while the other retains an original fireplace. A stylish shower room serves this floor.   A further staircase leads to a useful loft space with good natural light, ideal for storage or occasional office use. Please note, this is not classed as a habitable room.   Sympathetically improved, updated and extended, this is a home of quality workmanship, thoughtful detail and quiet drama. Underwhelming from the pavement, perhaps. Unforgettable once inside.   And just when you think this home has revealed all its secrets, the garden raises the bar once again.    Step outside into a beautifully landscaped garden designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Wonderfully private and thoughtfully arranged, it feels far removed from suburban surroundings, with a calmness more often found in the countryside. Composite decking sits adjacent to the house, creating the perfect setting for summer dining and gatherings with friends and family. A raised water feature brings movement and tranquillity, whilst established borders, neat beds and mature fruit trees soften the space with colour and texture throughout the seasons.   A striking pergola offers welcome shelter from both strong sunshine and the occasional British reminder that optimism about weather is rarely rewarded. Beyond, tucked discreetly away, are useful storage sheds and a productive vegetable garden with raised beds. And then comes yet another surprise. Hidden within the garden is its very own bar. Yes, genuinely.   Complete with an outside WC, this extraordinary addition transforms the garden into the ultimate entertaining space and perfectly captures the personality of this remarkable home. A property that continues to delight at every turn.   This is far more than a standard semi-detached house. It is a much-loved family home filled with warmth, individuality and memorable spaces both inside and out. Double glazed, gas fired central heating further complimented by underfloor heating in some rooms with woodburning stove in the living dining kitchen.   Perfectly positioned for commuting, amenities within Stourport Town Centre, Lickhill Memorial Park, River Severn and of course the Canal Basin, with attractive walks.   Viewings are essential to fully appreciate everything waiting behind the front door.
