4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

* OPEN DAY Sat 28th December - 10:30am - 1:00pm *
* OFFERS IN THE REGION £500,000 - £550,000 INVITED *

Here is a fabulous opportunity to find a tucked-away country cottage nestling in gardens & grounds of around half an acre right next to the riverside, yet close to Blackstone Picnic Site and within easy walking distance of the Bewdley School and leisure centre. In summertime it is a very enjoyable fifteen minute stroll along the riverbank, to walk into the town.

The owners for the last 40 years advise that the house and garden has never had any history of flooding, with previous high river levels affecting the far end of the field only.

This most attractive and sympathetically extended Victorian semi-detached property lies almost unseen from the passing road, set well back on an access lane which is shared with two neighbouring properties. Netherton Cottage has the benefit of driveway parking for at least two cars to the front, in addition to which there is also a separate detached garage/ workshop measuring 23' x 10' overall, with parking in front.

* Please note the property is now vacant and some of our images use Virtual Homestaging, simply to illustrate the full potential of the unfurnished rooms.

The property has considerable charm and character, retaining a number of original features, whilst the twin gabled extension has increased the living space to a generous 1633 sq ft. 

In addition there is clear potential to convert the two separate loft spaces subject to planning, each loft currently having a Velux skylight and being of generous proportions.

To the front of the property is a very wide porch entrance, ideal for kicking off muddy boots etc, with an inner hallway giving way to a ground floor shower room & wc. 

The spacious but cosy living room features a log burner set on a tiled hearth, with wood-effect flooring and french doors leading through to the sizeable rear conservatory, which has custom-fitted blinds and provides a perfect vantage point from which to look out over the gardens.

There is also a separate rear dining room, accessed from the living room via an inner lobby. Adjoining the dining room is a kitchen with quarry tiled floor, cream wall & base cabinets and work surface with acrylic sink unit, plus separate utility room with space for the usual laundry appliances plus sink.

To the first floor are four decent bedrooms, the largest of which features built-in wardrobes, a cast iron decorative fireplace and rear window looking over the gardens towards the river and countryside beyond. 

The rear gardens are arranged with beds, borders and footpaths, with a gated pathway to the left hand side.

At the rear of the garden is a gateway opening to the bridleway which sub-divides the formal garden from a separate field of around one-third of an acre, which could potentially make a decent pony paddock. The field is planted with a line of fruit trees (one cherry tree, two apple trees and two plum trees) and runs down to where the hedged boundary meets the riverbank.

From the garden gateway, a short footpath leads directly to the riverbank, which makes this location absolutely ideal for dog-walkers, anglers and nature-lovers alike.

DIRECTIONS - Netherton Lane is not actually signposted (!) but is a public bridleway, the entrance to which will be found right next to the traffic lights at the junction where Stourport Road meets the A456 Bewdley Bypass, also denoted by the agent's sale board.

Tenure is freehold, with the property held on two separate titles.
