SITUATION & DESCRIPTION Brick House Farm overlooks the Church of St James in the parish of Greete and is nestled amidst beautiful rolling countryside alongside a no through lane between the market town of Tenbury Wells and historic Ludlow. The adjacent traditional and modern farm buildings that formerly belonged to Brick House Farm are in the process of being converted to high quality residential units. The property is within the catchment areas for the popular Bishop Hooper C of E Primary School and Ludlow C of E High School. There are several excellent private schools in the locality including Moor Park, Lucton School, The King's School and RGS in Worcester, and Hereford Cathedral School, and transport to these schools is available locally.

Brick House Farm is a handsome and imposing south facing Grade II Listed square plan farmhouse constructed circa 1760 of brick elevations with a hipped tiled roof. The property features a brick storey band and four large integral brick chimneys at each corner with ornamental projecting courses and caps. Later Victorian extensions include a two storey former coach house and single storey ancillary wing. The property has accommodation set across two storeys with a substantial attic and cellars. The property has features of particular historical interest including the original front and rear studded doors, the oak staircase and the oak panelled interior doors. The property is in need of complete restoration and will create a fabulous family home set in its own walled gardens with a paddock and useful outbuildings – in all about 1.153 acres (tbv). The property is offered with no upward chain.

ACCOMMODATION The porch with decorative glazed side panels and an original oak studded door opens into the entrance hall with an oak floor and leading to two reception rooms, one of which has an oak floor, tiled open fireplace (not in use), an inset cupboard, sash window with shutters and a bow window, the other with an open fireplace with a white painted wooden surround (not in use), and inset oak shelving and a cupboard. The farmhouse kitchen has a quarry tiled floor, exposed beams, a Rayburn Royal, fitted units incorporating a stainless steel sink/drainer, and space for appliances. The adjacent oak panelled parlour/snug has a quarry tiled floor, a cast iron open fireplace (not in use), and an inset oak cupboard and shelving. A back hall leads to a larder with a flagstone floor, cold slabs and meat hooks, and a utility room with a brick floor, a Belfast sink, a cloakroom with wc, and a door to the rear yard. From the kitchen an original oak studded door opens out onto a covered walkway with a door to the parking area. The attached coach house/garage has wooden double doors, and a lean-to former laundry now utilised as a store features the original coppers.

Stairs off the kitchen rise up to the first floor landing. An ensuite bedroom has a bath with a mixer shower attachment and a vanity basin, an airing cupboard and store cupboard. There are four further double bedrooms, two of which have open fireplaces (not in use). A second landing leads to a bedroom/box room and a wc.

From the first floor landing stairs rise up to the attic which has four sections with skylights and wonderful exposed beams.

Steps off the kitchen lead down to the cellarage split into three rooms with brick and flagstone floors and cold slab storage.

OUTSIDE A private stoned driveway leads off the lane and provides ample informal parking and turning.
