Adorable country cottage in the rural hamlet of Clevelode less than four miles from Malvern. Tucked away at the end of a country lane in a picturesque and tranquil setting with four double bedrooms, kitchen/breakfast room, three further reception rooms, piggery, two sheds, greenhouse, vegetable garden, and delightful grounds approximately 0.4 of an acre.

River Cottage is in parts approximately 200 years old. It has since been extended, mainly in the 1980's, to become the sizeable and welcoming home that you see here today. With plenty of space and super fast broadband working from home is uncomplicated too. Kindly note the windows are double-glazed throughout.

The owners have loved living here for the past five years. They adore the roomy accommodation, large sitting room with log burner, 24' long kitchen/dining room, easy to maintain lawn garden, views of open countryside set amidst the ever so peaceful setting close to the River Severn. The lawn and vegetable gardens are south-facing so blessed with all day sun!

Upstairs you will find four double bedrooms. The main bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms and a traditional yet contemporary family bathroom with a double ended bath and walk-in shower.

In recent years the owners have carried out some extensive works including installing a new kitchen, utility room cabinets, stripped out and modernised both bathrooms and cloakroom, damproof in the study and dining room, and redecorating throughout. Externally a good amount of money has been spent building raised vegetable and flower beds encased in brick and railway sleepers. Also, a new Worcester Bosch combination boiler was installed in early 2020.

GARDENS

The wrap-around gardens are very pretty with many areas to explore and enjoy. Here you will find a plethora of hydrangeas, lupins, iris, helianthus, alliums, sweet peas, climbing roses, David Austin roses and honeysuckle climbing up against the piggery. In the vegetable beds are potatoes, runner beans, peas, red and white onions and many berries including strawberries, raspberries and red currants.

There is a piggery at the front that provides excellent storage and would make a great workshop. There is also a large greenhouse and two wooden sheds providing further storage for bikes, bins, and a mower..

The glorious gardens and surrounding area are very in tune with nature with a wild flower area between the two apple trees. If you want to escape the constant noise of cars and everyday living then this is the 'good life' for you! Definitely a paradise for garden lovers where you can do as much or as little as you please. The owners have advised they will be leaving an MTD ride on tractor (it does work!) to mow the lawn.

The cottage sits near to the River Severn which may occasionally rise and enter into the bottom of the garden. Should it rise any higher a low flood wall with gates will fully prevent it coming any further. I must declare the current owners bought River Cottage knowing the garden may occasionally flood and it has never bothered them. I'm also advised complete home insurance is easily available via local agents

Just to conclude if you want the feeling of being rural and tranquil but not be too isolated River Cottage should suit you perfectly. I look forward to showing you this captivating cottage.

All services including LPG gas, electricity, BT, water, and drainage are connected to the property. Drainage is to a Klargester septic tank that is emptied every two years at a cost of ?190.00. It's in good working order too!
