Property description

If abundant space is the number one criteria for your new family home, then handsome detached five-bedroom, four-bathroom Woodbury House fits the bill perfectly.

The 3,670 sq ft residence nestles among similar fine executive–style homes on the edge of this well-served village overlooking open fields. Built 22 years ago, it’s well presented in its original format and has unlimited flexibility and potential for updating if desired – and it has the bonus of being chain-free.

The house is imposing and grand, standing back from the lane behind a hedged and fenced courtyard garden with parking for two cars on the driveway in front of the integral double garage.

Impressive from word go

Step inside to experience immediately a taste of the light-filled spaciousness exhibited throughout the entire house – starting with the splendid double-height entrance hall and galleried landing.

Next to this is the 19x14ft sitting room which links to the dining room (14x13ft) and then the truly enormous 31x16ft kitchen/breakfast room with a cosy snug at the far end. If you are keen on the modern trend for a free-flow layout, it could be possible to open up all three of these rooms to create one huge open-plan living area (subject to any necessary planning permissions).

Upstairs on the first floor there are two light, airy and generously proportioned en-suite bedrooms and two further doubles. The second-floor en-suite bedroom is vast – it’s a super-flexible space.

Super-spacious is the name of the game!

With encircling hedges creating a secluded and private front garden, the lobby leads through an attractive set of inner doors with oval feature windows into the dazzling double-height entrance hall basking in oodles of natural light cast by a beautiful arched window high up above the front door and galleried landing. In the hall there’s also a cloakroom/WC and a big understairs coat cupboard.

There’s a similar arched window in the genteel sitting room, the perfect place for relaxing in front of the TV, enjoying an after-work G&T or entertaining guests. In the winter a feature gas fire in the handsome stone fireplace creates a warming focus that’s additional to the gas central heating.

Adjoining this is the double-aspect dining room, a delightful spot for dinner parties that has French doors to the outdoor patio for summertime drinks and al fresco meals.

The super-spacious kitchen/breakfast room is the hub of everyday family life and its immense light-filled proportions offer complete flexibility of use. There’s a comprehensive range of fitted storage in wood cabinetry along two walls while another set of cupboards creates a semi-divide with the snug area.

Time for bed . .

The superbly spacious bedrooms are a coveted feature of Woodbury House. On the first floor the two largest are positioned at the front of the house, enjoying views across the fields.

At the top of the second flight of stairs, the semi-vaulted bedroom is a cavernous space at nearly 26x19ft with potentially a multitude of uses – a self-contained granny annexe, home office, teenagers’ den or a fabulous cinema room come to mind.

Pretty garden

Tumbling with a variety of established shrubs and flowers, the garden of Woodbury House has a traditional English country garden feel about it. However, as it’s all paved it’s easy to look after and pretty as a picture with climber-entwined trellises, a timber arbour garlanded in vines and trees casting a little shade. A former pond, now used as a flowerbed, could be reinstated if desired.

There are a couple of patios – one next to the French doors of the dining room, making it perfect for summertime pre-dinner drinks with guests, and another sunny spot in front of a summerhouse-style shed.

Round and about

Hindlip CE First School is the village primary, and it’s Ofsted-rated outstanding, while the nearest secondary school (one mile) is Tudor Grange Academy, rated good. There are some excellent independent schools in the close vicinity too – The Grange School and The River School are within a few minutes’ walk and The King’s School and Royal Grammar School are both nearby in Worcester.

The village is blessed with two pubs and the first, The White Hart, is a traditional, family-friendly hostelry with seasonal menus, a lunch club, summer beer and music festival and quizzes. The Bull has a large beer garden and serves everything from breakfast and lunch to afternoon tea and dinner. Its Sunday roasts are popular and it does fish and chip takeaways too. The village’s lovely Bevere art gallery also has a popular café.

With quick access to the M5 and mainline railway services from both Worcester Shrub Hill, Worcestershire Parkway and Droitwich Spa, Fernhill Heath is a great location for commuters and families alike.
