Description

A beautifully presented detached red brick cottage situated in an excellent location on the western slopes of the Malvern Hills commanding truly stunning views across the rolling Herefordshire countryside towards British Camp and the length of the Malvern Hills.

Braeside is believed to have its origins back in the 19th Century as a small detached period cottage. In more recent years it has been the subject of major alteration, extension and complete refurbishment. It now offers charming, interesting accommodation with oil fired central heating and double glazing.

The bright and airy accommodation is arranged on the ground floor with an entrance hall, impressive open plan kitchen/dining/family room with patio doors leading to outside, sitting room, snug/playroom, shower room and cloakroom/utility. On the first floor are three double bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room and a family bathroom.

Outside, Braeside enjoys a delightful wrap around garden mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and attractive shrub borders. A sweeping driveway provides parking with turning area and leads to a wooden CARPORT.
