Hurcott Village, Kidderminster, Worcestershire

Introduction

Dudley Cottage nestles within Hurcott Village, an unspoilt beauty spot comprising a very pretty valley characterised by expansive pools, mature protected woodland, and a range of charming neighbouring homes converted from a former Papermill. What makes the location so unique is the overwhelming sense of rural tranquility and timeless character, despite remaining exceptionally accessible.

Location

- Hurcott Lane links directly to the A456 Birmingham Road, providing straightforward access toward Kidderminster, Hagley, Blakedown and onward toward Birmingham city centre, approximately 17 miles distant. The nearby villages of Blakedown and Hagley offer an excellent range of day-to-day amenities including public houses, cafés, restaurants, convenience shopping, and highly regarded schooling, whilst Kidderminster town centre provides a far wider range of retail, leisure, and supermarket facilities. For commuters, both Blakedown and Kidderminster railway stations provide direct rail services into Birmingham Moor Street and Birmingham Snow Hill, together with connections further afield. The surrounding area is also particularly renowned for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, with extensive woodland walks and open countryside immediately on the doorstep. All in all, a wonderful place to live, and for those unfamiliar with the area then a good way to instantly appreciate (truncated)

Agents Comments

What cannot be overstated is just how incredibly rare an opportunity this is within Hurcott Village; a sheltered and Greenbelt protect valley. Dudley Cottage is one of only two bungalows in this low-density hamlet and, unlike the majority of neighbouring properties, enjoys the benefit of also being detached. Equally unusual is the inclusion of garaging; another exceptionally scarce feature in the context of the location. Perhaps most importantly, however, the property is only being offered for a limited time whilst our clients pursue the purchase of another home. Should that purchase not proceed, Dudley Cottage will be withdrawn from the market. Here therefore is not only a rare, but also time-bound, opportunity and as such your early inspection is essential
