Description



Holywell Lodge is a beautifully positioned detached bungalow benefitting from a detached two bedroomed self-contained annexe, ideal for dependant relatives, teenagers or perhaps to be run as a successful AirBnB or holiday let. One of the key selling points are the generous grounds which extend to 1.9 acres and provide from its elevated position fine panoramic viewings across the Severn Valley to Bredon Hill and The Cotswolds beyond.



The property is approached down a shared road with Holywell House leading off Holywell Road. A five bar vehicular gate opens to a driveway that descends to a generous open parking area for the sole use of Holywell Lodge and giving access to a detached wooden garage/workshop. The fine views on offer can be appreciated from here. The double glazed UPVC front door to the house leads off the driveway and opens to the well presented accommodation that benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and recently installed Solar Voltaic Cells to the main east facing roof with battery storage and a feed intariff for the excess energy produced. Only installed in December 2022 so we are yet to have a full year of income generated.



This property offers flexible and versatile space with a two bedroomed annexe having been converted from the original garage which has also been extended.
