DIRECTIONS From High Street, Cleobury Mortimer head north on the A4117 and on passing the King's Arms take the first right hand turn onto Lion Lane and follow the lane around a sharp left hand bend before turning right onto an unmarked council lane.

SITUATION & DESCRIPTION Avalon is nestled in a secluded rural setting on the edge of Shakenhurst Hall Estate surrounded by glorious countryside with many walking opportunities on the doorstep. The property is just a short drive away from Cleobury Mortimer which offers a good range of shops and services, and Kidderminster is within easy reach. The property is within the highly regarded Bayton C of E Primary School and The Bewdley School (Secondary School) catchment areas.

Avalon is a Victorian detached cottage of brick elevations under a clay tiled roof with a single storey kitchen and bathroom extension added circa 1970. Avalon benefits from a detached garage, driveway parking and pretty and established cottage gardens – in all the level plot extends to about 0.217 acre (tbv). The property is in need of modernisation and also lends itself to further extension (subject to the necessary consents), and provides the opportunity to create a very lovely family home. The property is offered for sale with no upward chain. 

ACCOMMODATION A porch with a quarry tiled floor opens into the sitting room which has a parquet wood floor, an open fireplace with a stone surround and a back boiler, a fitted cupboard and an understairs cupboard. The dining room has a quarry tiled floor and French doors opening onto the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room has a quarry tiled floor, a Jotul woodburning stove, fitted units incorporating a stainless steel sink/drainer and space for a cooker. The back hall has a quarry tiled floor and leads to the bathroom with a bath with electric shower over, a pedestal basin and wc, a separate wc, and to a lean-to utility toom with a range of fitted units, plumbing for a washing machine, space for a fridge and freezer, and a part glazed door to outside.

From the back hall stairs rise up to a first floor double bedroom with exposed floorboards and housing the hot water cylinder. A door leads through to a second bedroom. 

OUTSIDE A gated stoned driveway with parking space leads to a detached garage and workshop (15'7" x 13'") with power and light. There is also a traditional brick and tile outbuilding (9'2" x 5'8").
