Hillcrest, Odnall Lane, Clent

Grove Properties Group are delighted to present Hillcrest, a truly unique character property built in 1854 and positioned on Odnall Lane in Clent. Having originally been built as a charming holiday home, its current custodians have endeavoured to maintain its character and history, whilst ensuring that essential upgrades have been made to suit modern living.

With the accommodation established across four floors, this substantial home is ideal for families looking to make a permanent move to the village of Clent and all that it offers. The National Trust Clent Hills provides many scenic countryside walks and panoramic views across Worcestershire.
For those who enjoy dining out, or a pub pit stop during a long walk, there are various pubs and eateries throughout the village and the volunteer run Clent Connect located in the church hall with a shop and coffee room often holds events, creating the perfect hub to socialise with other village residents. For families with children, Clent Primary School is a popular choice and falls within catchment for the local high schools in the nearby village of Hagley.

Hillcrest briefly comprises a dining room and living room, both benefitting from large bay windows to admire the views and feature fireplaces, a lovely breakfast kitchen looking out onto the garden, four good sized bedrooms, a shower room and bathroom, two w.c.’s and an office space. Downstairs, the basement is sectioned into useful spaces with a laundry room, store area and a large office that could be used as a games room or gym.

Externally, the picturesque garden with mature colourful shrubs, raised wildlife pond and thoughtfully positioned seating areas to enjoy impressive sunsets is a tranquil space to unwind after a long day.
