5 bedroom detached house for sale

Ashcroft House is a fine Georgian farmhouse with two pretty traditional courtyards at the rear. The first courtyard immediately at the back of the main house being mostly converted to accommodation with useful ancillary rooms that operate either with the main house or independently including a large games room and highly impressive party barn. In all within the main house and converted buildings Ashcroft House offers a total of eight bedrooms and is highly versatile depending on the need and family profile of
the owner.

The second courtyard offers a range of outbuildings providing extensive and useful storage rooms that could easily be converted to further accommodation offering the potential for income generation if required.

The house is grade II listed and maintained to a very good standard with well-arranged and proportioned reception rooms including extensive cellarage, elegant reception rooms accessed off the central hallway, a lovely light kitchen/breakfast room with a large accompanying larder room, home office and wonderfully useful open sided covered loggia running along the rear of the house. Upstairs there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms all of good sizes and the rooms at the front have lovely views of the Malvern Hills.

Garden and Grounds
The current owner has created a beautiful courtyard garden in the first courtyard immediately at the rear of the main house. There are raised beds and beautiful climbing roses offering an abundance of colour. There is an enclosed kitchen garden on one side of the house and a pretty formal garden to the front with a wide lawn and mature trees and hedges offering a high degree of privacy as well as views to the hills. Off the kitchen is a part enclosed and covered sitting area that would be a lovely area for a garden room running immediately out off the kitchen (subject to the necessary consents) with a pretty outlook to the pond and over the grounds. There is an above ground swimming pool and lawned area running up to the pond that then leads to the paddocks adjoining the house.

Equestrian facilities
The equestrian facilities consist of stables in two blocks, one being a barn and the other a small wooden stable block. There is a superb, large outdoor manege with direct access to the turn-out paddocks and to the bridleway network. The facilities can be accessed from their own driveway and can operate independently from the main house therefore being ideal to Let if they were not required by the owner.

The Land
The land that lies predominantly to the rear of Ashcroft House is beautifully undulating, fenced, watered and well kept. Within the grounds is an over grown pond that could be revived and would be a haven for wildlife. In all the property extends to approximately 45 acres of mostly permanent pasture that has been continuously grazed by a local farmer under a current grazing license that may attract a more efficient stamp duty land tax charge.
