3 bedroom detached house

'Hawthorns' is a traditional bay-fronted detached house, set in grounds of 2.03 acres standing back behind a gated entrance and walled front boundary, all providing an excellent degree of privacy.

The property would benefit from a certain amount of updating and attention, though huge potential undoubtedly exists to create a fabulous family home, ideally placed for commuters to Worcester, the West Midlands conurbation and the motorway network.

The grounds are mostly rough grassland with a significant portion towards the rear including a wooded area of marshland with a small brook crossing part of the land.

The house has been extended to the side, with the addition of a light and spacious lounge (26'1" x 13'7") having bi-fold doors to the rear and to the side, as well as an open feature fireplace.

There is also a second sitting room with feature fireplace including quarry tiled hearth and decorative surround.

To the rear of the house is a large open plan dining kitchen, with range of grey base cabinets, strip-boarded wooden floor, wooden work surfaces, Belfast sink and useful pantry cupboard. A door leads through to the utility room, with full length work surface, space below for laundry appliances and external door to rear.

The reception hall has a useful understairs cupboard and it is worth noting that an attached garage exists, adjacent to the reception hall, that could potentially be converted to a third reception room if desired. Naturally, the space above this garage provides potential for a first floor extension, subject of course to the necessary planning consent.

To the first floor there are three bedrooms, the larger of which measures just over 15' in length, with front bay.

The second, rear facing bedroom has a pair of French windows enjoying a wonderful view over the gardens, though for safety reasons it is suggested that a balcony should be built on.

The bathroom features a claw-foot bath tub, wall tiling to half height, pedestal hand basin, wc and airing cupboard.

Outside, the detached garage block is L-shaped and arranged in an entirely open-plan style, with five pairs of double entrance doors plus window and pedestrian door to rear. It is envisaged that the garage could accommodate up to seven cars with a little manoeuvring.

Mains water and electricity are connected, with drainage to a septic tank and an oil-fired central heating system. Windows are all wooden-framed and mostly single glazed.

Tenure is freehold with council tax payable to Wychavon District Council, rated as Band E, subject to review upon the sale of the property.

Purchasers should be aware that the property is sold subject to a clawback agreement which is in place until 2028, in the event that planning permission be obtained for development of the site. Further details can be obtained from the agent.
