Description

A delightfully situated country property with detached two-storey garage/ guest annexe, hidden away at the end of a private track and set within around 1.5 acres enjoying fantastic views across countryside towards the Clee Hills.

Originally thought to be three 17th century farmworkers' cottages, subsequently combined to form a spacious and well proportioned family home, the property has been considerably updated and improved by the current owners over the last ten years including a new oil-fired central heating system, rewiring, new upvc double glazing, new kitchen, engineered wood flooring and much more.

An excellent addition is the recently completed two-storey detached garage annexe, a handsome and substantial building incorporating twin bay open-fronted double garage (with provision to fit roller shutter doors if required), 21' gym and splendid first floor guest bedroom/ studio/ office with shower room and balcony enjoying the views.

To the front of the property is an entrance porch with central hallway including guest cloakroom. Either side of the hall there is a 19' dining room and a separate 19' sitting room, each with exposed beams and each with a log burner set in the original exposed brick/ stone fireplace.

To the rear of the house is a light and spacious lounge (22' x 13') with bi-fold doors opening onto the paved patio terrace and also featuring a corner log burner.

The breakfast kitchen (19' x 17' overall) is fitted with a stylish contemporary range of light grey wall & base cabinets, quartz work surfaces with breakfast bar, integral dishwasher, Rangemaster electric cooker and matching Siemens full height fridge and full height freezer.

An archway leads through to the laundry room, again with quartz work surface, sink and under-counter space for washing machine & tumble dryer.

To the first floor there is an excellent master bedroom suite positioned to enjoy the panoramic views, featuring a range of fitted wardrobes and spacious en-suite bathroom with floor & wall tiling, claw-foot bath, large shower cubicle, wc & pedestal hand basin.

The three additional bedrooms all retain the charm of the original cottages featuring pitched ceilings with exposed timbers and dormer windows.

In addition there is a principal family shower room with wall & floor tiling, chrome heated towel rail, vanity unit with hand basin & wc, plus cubicle with mixer shower.

The property also has existing planning consent for an additional en-suite bedroom to be built over the lounge should purchasers wish to further extend.

Outside, the property is approached off Buckeridge Bank over an unadopted track shared with its two neighbours. The Gables is located at the end of the track behind newly fitted wooden five-bar double gates (with electric cable installed should purchasers wish to fit motorised gates) opening to a gravel driveway and forecourt providing ample parking for several vehicles. An electric vehicle charging point is installed.

To the rear of the property there are extensive lawned gardens with a number of fruit trees and an original water well, also with two external storerooms & log store. A beech hedge along the western side of the garden separates the formal lawns from a sloping bank planted with various cherry trees - indeed the property was originally built for farmworkers tending the cherry orchards here.
