DIRECTIONS
From St Johns, Worcester head west on the Bromyard Road/A44 and at the roundabout take the 3rd exit to stay on the A44 signed Leominster/Bromyard. Proceed for 6 miles and the driveway to the property will be found on the right hand side as indicated by a Nick Champion 'For Sale' board.

SITUATION & DESCRIPTION
Shortlands is situated in an accessible rural location in Darbys Green, and from its semi-elevated setting looks out across the meadows flanking the River Teme to the south, with hills beyond and behind, and numerous footpaths on the doorstep for exploring the picturesque local area. The property is within 0.5 mile of Knightwick village which has a popular butchers, public house and doctors' surgery. Worcester city centre is just a short drive away. The property is within the catchment areas for the highly regarded Broadwas C of E Primary School and The Chantry (High) School. There are several excellent private schools in the locality including The King's School and RGS in Worcester, The Elms in Colwall, Malvern College, and Hereford Cathedral School, and transport to these schools is available locally.

Shortlands is a substantial detached dormer bungalow constructed circa 1930 of rendered brick elevations under a tiled roof, with a later single storey attached annexe extension. The property is set in extensive grounds of about 0.57 acre (tbv) which incorporate established terraced gardens, brick block paved driveway parking and a detached double garage/store. The property offers the scope to create a very comfortable family home, with the opportunity for multi-generational living with the attached annexe, or the potential to generate some income from letting it out as a holiday let, Airbnb or on a more permanent basis. The property benefits from UPVC framed double glazing throughout and oil fired central heating with a Worcester boiler. The property does require some improvement works, and there is evidence of cracking and clay shrinkage subsidence, and so the property is suitable for cash buyers only, and is offered for sale at an attractive guide price with no upward chain.

ACCOMMODATION
The inset porch has a part glazed door opening into the entrance hall which has a cloakroom at one end with a pedestal basin and wc. The dining room and dual aspect sitting room are both generously proportioned and the latter has an electric coal effect fire on a tiled hearth. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of light wood fitted units incorporating a sink/drainer, a Rangemaster multi-fuel range cooker with an extractor hood over, an integral dishwasher, a freestanding Bosch American fridge/freezer, and French doors open out onto the garden. The utility room has light wood fitted units incorporating a stainless steel sink/drainer, with plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer and fridge/freezer, housing for the Worcester Greenstar Heatslave II 25/32 oil fired boiler, and with a part glazed door to the back hall, which has an access door through to the annexe and also has a part glazed door opening onto the parking area.

There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor, along with a family bathroom with a bath, low profile large shower enclosure with a thermostatic shower, a glass vanity unit with twin hand basins, a wc and heated towel rail.

Stairs from an inner hall with two understairs store cupboards rise up to a very spacious first floor loft bedroom which has eaves storage cupboards, and an ensuite with a thermostatic shower, pedestal basin, wc, heated towel rail and walk-in storage alcove with a hanging rail.

ANNEXE

The living room has French doors opening onto the garden. The double bedroom and a second single bedroom are serviced by a shower room with a Mira electric shower, pedestal basin and wc.

OUTSIDE
A sweeping gated driveway flanked by stone walls and mature shrub borders leads up past the double garage to a large brick block paved parking and turning area. The double garage (19'5" x 16') is constructed of rendered block elevations under a tiled roof, with an up and over metal garage door, power, light, a side door, and has an additional stoned parking area to the front with steps up to a lawn with shrubs, an open fronted attached log store against the rear elevation (16'2" x 4'6"), and a sheltered stoned area to the north with a lean-to open sided covered drying area.

Paths lead around the side of the property to the main expanse of garden which is terraced and extends mainly to the south and west, and incorporates a raised patio seating area and al fresco entertaining area, attractive and established shrub and flower beds and borders, lawns, a greenhouse and timber garden shed. The bungalow and garden are well screened from the road by mature trees and hedging.
