DIRECTIONS
From Teme Street, Tenbury Wells, head south on the A4112 and after 1 mile the property will be found on the right hand side opposite the turning into Salt Box Lane as indicated by a Nick Champion 'For Sale' board.
SITUATION & DESCRIPTION
Ivy Villa is set back off the Oldwood Road and is flanked by its own gardens and land, and from its prominent semi-elevated setting enjoys fine views across Tenbury Wells to Clee Hill. The property is within walking distance of The Fountain Inn at Oldwood, and there are an abundance of footpaths and bridlepaths within easy reach, as well as Oldwood Common which is a popular spot for dog walkers. Ivy Villa is just a short drive or 15 minute walk away from the market town of Tenbury Wells which offers many facilities including a variety of shops and services, a library, a doctors' surgery, a cottage hospital, cinema, swimming pool and gym, and a range of clubs and societies. Ivy Villa is within the catchment areas for Tenbury C of E Primary School and Tenbury High Ormiston Academy, both of which are within walking distance. There are several excellent private schools in the locality including Moor Park, Lucton School, The King's School and RGS in Worcester, and Hereford Cathedral School, and transport to these schools is available locally.
Ivy Villa is a substantial detached Victorian residence constructed circa 1889 of mellow brick elevations under a clay tiled roof. The property has been in the same ownership for over 30 years, and the present owners have kept the property in immaculate condition, updating it throughout whilst retaining many character features, and it also benefits from the addition of a modern open plan kitchen/dining/living room extension. The accommodation is well appointed and light and airy, with high ceilings and many dual aspect rooms. Ivy Villa is set in large established gardens, and has an array of useful outbuildings and a paddock. The property benefits from UPVC framed double glazing and mains services including gas fired central heating.
ACCOMMODATION
The entrance hall opens into the dual aspect sitting room which has a slate fireplace with a Clearview woodburning stove on a quarry tiled hearth, and a bay window; and the dual aspect dining room with an open fireplace in a gamebird tiled surround, a bay window, and exposed pine floorboards.

The adjacent utility room has a Millersdale stainless steel sink and double drainer, a Worcester combi boiler, an airing cupboard, space for white goods, a stable door to outside and a large walk-in store room. From the inner hall a door opens into the back hall/cloaks area which leads to the game larder which has a quarry tiled floor, fitted shelving and the original meat hooks, and to the garden/party room which has a brick floor and exposed brick walls, skylights, a glazed covered well (not in use) with feature lighting, a garden wc with a pedestal basin and wc, and a door which opens out into the rear courtyard.
