Description



Subbage Cottage is an attractive detached country cottage occupying a delightful rural yet accessible position affording wonderful far reaching views across surrounding unspoilt open countryside toward the Shelsley Hills and Malvern Hills beyond. The cottage is approached via a long sweeping private driveway and stands in the middle of its own expansive grounds, regarded as one of the most sought after types of setting for a country property.



Dating back in parts to the 1740's, Subbage Cottage underwent a comprehensive scheme of renovation works in the 1980's to include a substantial extension. Since then, the property has been meticulously well maintained by the current owners with upgrades made to the central heating system, new radiators throughout and the installation of a wood burning stove.



With extensive exposed timbers and impressive character features, the accommodation is arranged on the ground floor with an entrance hall, cloakroom, large dining kitchen, study and drawing room. On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. From the landing there is access to a balcony, which acts as a terrific viewing platform affording fantastic far reaching views across the surrounding rolling countryside.



Outside, the grounds belonging to Subbage Cottage extend to approximately 8 ACRES and comprise a mature area of garden with adjoining PADDOCKS, all fully enclosed with secure stock proof fencing. There are excellent equestrian facilities including an impressive STABLE YARD laid to hardstanding with THREE LOOSE BOXES. A driveway provides ample parking with turning area and leads to a detached DOUBLE GARAGE with HOME OFFICE above.
