Vicarage Lane, Childswickham, Broadway, Worcestershire, WR12

A SUBSTANTIAL 4-BEDROOM CHARACHTER HOME WITH GENEROUS GARDENS OF APPROXIMATELY 1 ACRE, SITUATED AT THE END OF A QUIET LANE.

Tucked away at the end of a no-through lane in the historic heart of the village, Longacre is a most attractive and substantial detached period home, set within a generous plot of approximately one acre. This handsome red-brick property is beautifully framed by mature trees and cottage-style planting, creating a peaceful and private retreat that feels a world away - yet is moments from the village centre. The house is full of warmth and character, with exposed beams, feature fireplaces, and generous proportions throughout. It offers approximately 2,500sq/ft of elegant accommodation, blending classic rural charm with stylish modern finishes.
The heart of the home is a recently upgraded bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, complete with a peninsula, new electric AGA, and painted cabinetry in heritage tones, with a separate utility room. The show-stopping drawing room stretches nearly 24 feet in length, flooded with natural light from dual-aspect windows, and centred around a wood-burning stove beneath a chunky timber beam. A spacious dining room, large entrance hall with cloakroom, and a snug (which could double as a fifth bedroom) complete the ground floor. Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, including two with en suites, and a smartly appointed family bathroom.

The setting of Longacre is as special as the house itself, offering an exceptional degree of privacy and rural charm. A gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to a detached outbuilding which incorporates two garages, a workshop, and useful ancillary space - ideal for hobbies, storage, or potential conversion (subject to any necessary consents). Directly adjacent to the house are beautifully tended formal gardens, with a wide expanse of lawn framed by mature planting, and a a paved terrace perfect for al fresco entertaining.

Beyond the formal gardens lies a productive vegetable area with raised beds, as well as a small paddock - offering scope for keeping a pony, chickens, or simply enjoying additional open space. The grounds extend in total to approximately one acre and back onto open countryside, with far-reaching views over fields and towards the nearby church spire. For those who enjoy walking, the property enjoys direct access to a public footpath, with idyllic countryside walks available right from the doorstep.

Childswickham sits between Bredon and the Cotswold Hills and its history can be traced back to Roman times. The village includes a Norman Church and a Public House. Nearby Broadway, often referred to as the "Jewel of the Cotswolds" offers a wide range of shops and services, whilst Evesham, Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham are the main centres for the region. The latter is generally considered as having some of the best shopping outside London. There is a main line rail service to London Paddington from either Evesham or Moreton-in-Marsh and access to the M5 Junction 9 (Tewkesbury) is about 12 miles away.
