Location

Court Lodge is located in the small village of Cotheridge, surrounded by glorious countryside. The village is known for its 12th Century Church and is ideally placed for easy access to both Worcester City and the cultural spa town of Malvern. Cotheridge enjoys a popular school catchment for both Primary and Secondary options.

Description

Dating back in parts to the 17th century, Court Lodge was originally built as the lodge house serving Cotheridge Court, a Grade II listed manor house, when Lord Berkeley was in residence. Court Lodge is surrounded by unspoilt countryside and enjoys a wonderful outlook overlooking the Church and far reaching views towards the Malvern Hills to the rear.

The current owners have maintained the property beautifully and have enhanced the accommodation with a sympathetic extension to create an additional reception room, which can also be used as a ground floor bedroom. A further extension was added to the kitchen approximately 10 years ago in the form of an all year round conservatory, which has a fantastic view of the garden.

Benefitting from oil fired central heating and predominantly double glazed, the accommodation on the ground floor comprises an entrance hall, living room with wood burning stove, separate dining room, open plan breakfast kitchen with an adjoining conservatory, study/double bedroom, shower room and a utility room. On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to four bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom.

The grounds belonging to Court Lodge are delightful and extend to approximately one third of an acre. There are large areas laid to lawn and herbaceous borders providing pockets of colour throughout the garden. A driveway provides a generous area of parking and access to a double garage.
