The Lakes Road, Bewdley, DY12 2PH

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY

There is something rather fitting about the name Little Orchard. This part of Bewdley was once orchard land, and although the fruit trees have largely given way to homes over the years, the name offers a gentle nod to the area's past.

SET BACK FROM THE ROAD

Occupying a sought-after position along The Lakes Road, this extended dormer-style semi-detached bungalow is set well back from the roadside behind a mature planted frontage. There is off-road parking together with a carport, while to the rear lies a private, established garden.

FLEXIBLE LIVING

One of Little Orchard's real strengths is the versatility of its accommodation. With bedrooms and bathroom facilities on both floors, the layout could work equally well for a family, those needing space for visiting relatives, or a mature buyer looking for predominantly ground-floor living without sacrificing useful additional accommodation.

Double glazing and gas-fired central heating to radiators via a combination boiler are provided.

STEP INSIDE

The side entrance opens into a welcoming reception area, with a useful utility room positioned just off. From here, the accommodation unfolds into an attractive breakfast kitchen and an impressively proportioned reception room. The reception room provides ample space for both sitting and dining areas, with broad windows and glazed doors drawing the eye towards the rear garden. It is a particularly pleasant outlook and gives this substantial room a light, open feel.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS

An inner hallway leads to two ground-floor double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own generous en suite bathroom, unusually equipped with both a bath and separate shower cubicle. A separate cloakroom completes the ground-floor facilities.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where a further bedroom is accompanied by its own shower room. This upper floor lends itself beautifully to a guest suite, teenager's space or simply a little separation when required.

THE GARDEN

To the rear, the garden feels pleasantly private and established. A patio sits immediately behind the house, ideal for a morning coffee or summer supper, with steps rising to the lawn beyond.

Mature planting and established borders soften the boundaries and provide plenty of greenery, creating a garden that already has character rather than presenting the next owner with three fences and a rectangle of turf.

A HANDY SPOT FOR BEWDLEY & THE WYRE FOREST

The Lakes Road is particularly convenient, with a bus route, local convenience store and public house all close at hand. The wonderful Wyre Forest is also nearby, offering miles of woodland to explore and an ever-changing backdrop of flora and fauna through the seasons.

Bewdley itself, with its attractive riverside setting and everyday amenities, is also within easy reach.

AND ONE MORE THING…

This property is offered with no upward chain, removing one of those unnecessary complications that property transactions seem so remarkably gifted at inventing.

APPROACH

This partially hidden home sits well back from The Lakes Road, offering good privacy, with a mature planted frontage helping separate the bungalow from the roadside.Enjoy the walk through the established front garden being planted with mature shrubs. Side access into the reception area.

RECEPTION AREA

With access to the breakfast kitchen, utility, rear garden and not least the main living area.

UTILITY

Approx. 4'0" x 9'6" (1.22m x 2.92m)

A useful addition to the ground-floor accommodation, providing valuable ancillary space away from the kitchen. Its position just off the reception area makes it particularly handy for laundry and household storage, keeping the less glamorous machinery of daily life neatly out of sight. Side facing window with the combination gas boiler being sited within.

BREAKFAST KITCHEN

A well arranged kitchen in a practical U shape galley style with windows to both side and frontage allow good natural light. Fitted units, work surfaces and space for the everyday appliances. There is room for informal breakfast dining. It is conveniently positioned away from the main reception room, something buyers who prefer a proper separate kitchen may appreciate.

RECEPTION ROOM

Approx. 16'0" x 21'0" (4.88m x 6.42m)

A particularly generous room and very much the heart of this home. Its proportions comfortably accommodate distinct sitting and dining areas without either feeling compromised. A fireplace provides a natural focal point to the sitting area, while a broad arrangement of windows and glazed doors across the rear brings in plenty of natural light and gives a lovely outlook over the garden. The glazed doors open directly onto the adjoining patio, making this a room that should work especially well during the warmer months.

INNER HALLWAY

With stairs rising to the first floor accommodation. This separates the the living and sleeping arrangements so well. Having two bedrooms, an en suite bathroom and a cloakroom.

CLOAKROOM

Approx. 6'5" x 4'5" (1.97m x 1.36m)

Fitted with a WC and wash basin. The window provides natural light and ventilation, while fitted cupboards offer useful additional storage.

BEDROOM

Approx. 9'11" x 13'11" (3.04m x 4.24m)

A comfortable ground-floor double bedroom enjoying a pleasant outlook through a wide window. There is ample space for bedroom furniture, while fitted wardrobes provide useful storage. Most importantly, the room has the considerable benefit of its own generously proportioned en suite bathroom.

EN SUITE BATHROOM

Approx. 10'8" x 5'10" (3.26m x 1.80m)

Much more than the token en suite sometimes squeezed into a corner. This is a good-sized bathroom equipped with a bath and separate shower enclosure, together with wash basin and WC. Part tiled walls and a heated towel rail complete the room.

BEDROOM

Approx. 10'0" x 10'10" (3.07m x 3.32m)

Another genuine double bedroom on the ground floor, with a broad window bringing in good natural light. Its position close to the cloakroom makes it equally suitable as a permanent bedroom, guest room or perhaps a home office for someone wanting a decent-sized workspace rather than balancing a laptop on the end of the dining table.

STAIRS RISING TO THE FIRST FLOOR ACCOMMODATION AND LANDING

The staircase continues to a small first-floor landing, with a roof window helping draw natural light into the stairwell. From here there is access to the third bedroom and shower room, effectively creating a separate upper-floor area.

BEDROOM

Approx. 8'6" x 12'9" (2.61m x 3.90m)

Tucked away on the first floor, this bedroom has rather a nice sense of independence from the remainder of the accommodation. A wide window overlooks the surrounding gardens and rooftops, while fitted wardrobes make good use of the available space. An ideal guest bedroom, teenager's room or private study.

SHOWER ROOM

Approx. 10'8" x 4'9" (3.27m x 1.46m)

Serving the first-floor bedroom is a separate shower room with shower enclosure, wash basin and WC. A roof window brings in natural light, while a chrome heated towel rail is also fitted. Having bathroom facilities on both floors is a real advantage and adds considerably to the flexibility of the house.

REAR GARDEN

The garden is one of the quieter pleasures of Little Orchard and, importantly, the main reception room looks directly onto it.

Immediately behind the property is a block paved patio, reached directly from the reception room and providing a natural spot for outdoor seating and dining. Steps then rise to the principal lawn beyond with gravel area ideal for tubs and planters.

The garden feels established rather than newly manufactured, with mature trees, shrubs and planted borders providing plenty of greenery and a pleasing degree of privacy. Its slightly elevated lawn and mature planting create different areas rather than one flat, featureless plot, while the leafy outlook is particularly attractive from inside the house.
