5 bed detached house for sale

Bredon, Tewkesbury, Worcestershire GL20

Set towards the front of its third of an acre plot, The Old Cider House is a charming detached Grade II listed family home, beautifully presented having been tastefully renovated throughout.

Historically, the building is Grade II listed and sits within the village Conservation Area. There are four floors to the house that include what is a useful converted cellar (not quite full head height) as well as a number of period features that include exposed wooden beams and stone, an inglenook fireplace and even a well in the orangery topped with glass.

The accommodation is practical in both its proportion and the way it is arranged. There is a contemporary styled kitchen/breakfast room complete with an Aga, a large utility room and WC, a versatile orangery perfect for dining and then a dual level open plan sitting room that focuses on the ingle nook and fire.

On the first floor, there is a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, two bedrooms connected by a secret wardrobe (one leading into the other), a further double bedroom and a large family bathroom. The second floor is a vaulted attic bedroom that makes a charming child's bedroom.

Heading across the courtyard - extending to approximately 2,004 square feet, the barn is a substantial two storey brick building that offers a huge amount of opportunity. Internally, the building is divided into three parts that are currently used as storage, garaging, with some rooms converted (lit and insulated) to create comfortable workshop spaces. The barn lends itself to being converted to a variety of uses subject to the necessary consents.

A gravelled courtyard separates the barn from the house with the main area of garden located beyond the barn. Well-established with mature hedge and tree boundaries, the garden is very pretty and faces due south. Under the pergola, overlooking the garden, there is a delightful enclosed patio area, perfect for entertaining. In the opposite corner of the garden is a garden house that has been converted into a bar. This steps out onto a raised garden terrace overlooking the duck pond and enjoying the setting sun in the evenings.

Services: All mains services are connected.

Historic Listing: Grade II listed.
