Castle Road, Cookley

Property Reference number : 284307

Offered for sale for the first time since being built in 1964, this three-bedroom family home has remained within the same family from new.

Set in an elevated position above Castle Road, the property offers well-proportioned accommodation, two reception rooms, a useful ground-floor WC, excellent storage, a separate garage and, most notably, an exceptionally long rear garden incorporating additional land acquired by the family.

The house would now benefit from modernisation, giving its next owner the opportunity to update it gradually and create a home to suit their own style.


Ground Floor

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor and access into the main living accommodation.


Living Room

A spacious principal reception room with a large front-facing window providing plenty of natural light.

A feature fireplace creates a traditional focal point, while an opening through to the dining room gives the two reception areas a natural and sociable flow.


Dining Room

The separate dining room provides plenty of space for a family dining table and additional furniture.

It is a flexible room that could equally work as a second sitting room, children's playroom or home-working space.

A glazed screen and sliding door connect the room with the kitchen.


Kitchen

Positioned at the rear of the house, the kitchen enjoys views over the garden and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces, sink and drainer, cooking facilities and space for appliances.

The fittings are traditional, but the room provides a good foundation for updating or redesigning to suit the next owner's requirements.

Purchasers may also wish to explore creating a more open kitchen and dining arrangement, subject to appropriate structural advice and any necessary permissions.


Rear Porch and Ground-Floor WC

The kitchen leads into a useful rear porch, providing access to the side of the property and garden.

The porch also gives access to a separate ground-floor WC with wash hand basin and side-facing window.


Large Understairs Store

A particularly useful feature is the substantial understairs storage area, which can be accessed both internally and through its own external door.

It provides excellent space for bicycles, tools, gardening equipment and household storage, and may also lend itself to use as a small utility or workshop area.


First Floor

The landing provides access to three bedrooms, the family bathroom and a useful airing cupboard.


Bedroom One

A generous double bedroom with ample space for a double or king-size bed, wardrobes and additional bedroom furniture.


Bedroom Two

A second comfortable double bedroom with good space for freestanding furniture.


Bedroom Three

A versatile third bedroom suitable for use as a child's bedroom, guest room, nursery, dressing room or dedicated home office.

Family Bathroom

The bathroom currently includes a panelled bath with electric shower over, wash hand basin and WC.

A large obscured window provides good natural light and the room offers straightforward scope for future updating.


Airing Cupboard

A useful landing cupboard provides linen and household storage and also houses the wall-mounted Worcester Bosch boiler.


Outside
Frontage

The property is set above road level and approached across a broad, predominantly paved frontage.

Its elevated position provides a welcome sense of separation and privacy from Castle Road.

Pedestrian access to the side of the house connects the front directly with the rear garden.

No representation is made regarding formal off-road parking or vehicle access. Purchasers wishing to investigate this should make their own enquiries regarding highway access and any permissions required.


Exceptional Extended Rear Garden

The rear garden is one of the property's standout features.

In addition to the original garden, the family acquired further land to the rear which has been incorporated into the overall garden and is included within the sale.

This creates an unusually long and substantial outdoor space, offering considerable room for gardening, children, entertaining and recreation.

Immediately behind the house is a generous paved terrace, ideal for outdoor seating, dining and barbecues.

Beyond this, the garden continues through extensive lawned and planted areas with mature trees, established boundaries and a greenhouse.

Its size allows plenty of scope to create different areas for entertaining, children's play, vegetable growing, wildlife or simply enjoying the additional privacy and open space.

For buyers who value a large garden, this is a particularly important feature of the property.


Separate Garage

A separate garage is included within the sale and is located nearby within a block of garages.

It provides useful secure parking or additional storage.

Its precise location, dimensions, ownership and access arrangements should be confirmed through the purchaser's solicitor.


Location

Cookley is a popular Worcestershire village combining a strong village setting with convenient access to surrounding towns and countryside.

The village offers everyday amenities, schooling, community facilities, public houses and access to attractive countryside and canal-side walks.

The nearby A449 provides convenient road connections towards Kidderminster and Wolverhampton, with routes also available towards Stourbridge, Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.
