To the first floor is the dual aspect master bedroom with Jack and Jill en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Outside, the property is set back from the lane behind wooden vehicular gates and privacy hedging and leads to the driveway with a generous parking area with space for a carport if required. From the driveway is access to a large store / home office / garage. Delightful established gardens extend to approximately 0.75 of an acre, with views over adjoining farmland and the Malvern Hills beyond.
