Situation
This property is situated in a very private, rural location set in its own land on the outskirts of the village of Cradley, within beautiful countryside. Cradley is a thriving and well-serviced village located to the West of the Malvern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Herefordshire/Worcestershire borders. This is a beautiful, desirable, and very accessible part of the countryside, complemented by good local towns, schools and facilities, and with excellent access to the commercial centres of Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Birmingham, all with good commuter links.

Church Stile Farm
* The original farmhouse is believed to date from the 16th century and is Grade II Listed. The house has been extended twice during the last century, in the 1960’s and again in the 1980’s. The dwelling is now quite dated and whilst it appears structurally sound, it will require sympathetic investment to modernise. There is ample scope for reconfiguration/extension, subject to the necessary consents. * On the ground floor, an entrance hall opens to the kitchen and living room, with a dining room and study beyond. There is a utility room, pantry and WC by the rear door to the kitchen. * To the first floor, a landing opens to 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom. A larger 4th room opens from the main bedroom and is used as a dressing room, with an ensuite shower room adjacent. There is scope to easily reconfigure in order to create 4 separate bedrooms. * Open lawn surrounds the house and there is ample parking space.

The Outside
* A wonderful setting awaits at the end of a ¼ mile private drive that leads to the farmhouse. A spur off the main drive services a separate property to the rear. The farm is located just west of the village. * Some 19 acres of traditional pastureland border the farmstead, which has potential to be recognised as having organic status through the historic. A small brook runs through the farm with wooded verges and there are native hedgerows and trees interspersed around the farm. * There is a public footpath that crosses the western edge of the land, please refer to the sale plan for the route.
