What3Words - sapping.chainsaw.quotedThis gorgeous home is located in the forever popular Bark Hill area of Bewdley, only 500m from the town centre. Despite the proximity of Bewdley, the property has a very special micro-environment, as will be appreciated upon personal inspection. The net effect is that it is well described as like a country home in town, which very much conjures its charm and indeed rarity!AGENTS COMMENTS - Here is a lovely opportunity to acquire a highly characterful hidden gem of a home with views, and blissful wrap-around gardens, affording a high degree of privacy and shelter. The current owners have extended and altered the property to create a highly versatile spread of accommodation eminently capable of serving a wide variety of family uses and needs. Another immensely valuable future-proofing aspect is that only this year, the entire roof has been completely stripped back, insulated, and re-covered, at a cost of more than £20,000. Similar opportunities, of this calibre, are forever scarce to the market in Bewdley, and your early viewing is highly recommended !LOCATION - Historic Bewdley is an acutely sought-after place to live and with special reason. It takes its name from the French words "Beau Lieu" meaning "Beautiful Place" and has been described as the "most perfect small Georgian town in Worcestershire". This vibrant town is packed with plentiful amenities including a wealth of restaurants/character public houses and is built on the banks of the River Severn, offering a rich and scenic landscape which draws visitors from far and wide the whole year round. The property has a very handy location in the upper reaches of Bewdley, within easy walking of town centre. Closer still there is a good pub - The Hope Pole Inn - and also a convenience shop, just up the road. This part of Bewdley also offers particularly simple motoring accessibility to the bypass and therefore surrounding towns. Additionally, there is also very quick access into the outstandingly beautiful Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve which is literally just down the road and spreads out over some 6000 acres!This ideal family home is truly only fully appreciated by personal inspection and simply cannot fail to impress.
