Appledore is a substantial family home set within an enviable plot of 3.79 acres. The house sits elevated some 100ft from the road behind a lawned foregarden area with sweeping driveway to the side of the house leading to the garaging and providing extensive parking.
Situated in Harvington, a highly regarded village enjoying a delightful rural setting. The surrounding country lanes, public footpaths and bridleways provide excellent walking and riding opportunities throughout the glorious Worcestershire countryside. The adjoining village of Chaddesley Corbett has an extremely popular local village school whilst a number of renowned schools locally include Winterfold, Bromsgrove School Oldswinford Hospital School, RGS and Kings in Worcester.
The house has been in the same family for over 40 years, they created a wonderful family home improving and extending from the original single storey dwelling during their ownership. Desirable, well situated country houses with scope for upgrading are increasingly rare and the vendors are hoping that the new owners will improve and enhance the house further to create their own “Forever Home”.
The substantial accommodation is classically arranged around a welcoming reception hall. There is an elegant drawing room with handsome stone fireplace and open fire, French doors overlook the swimming pool. The formal dining room is a most impressive room with wood panelling to the walls and parquet flooring. The breakfast kitchen enjoys views across the garden and adjoins a large laundry room. The study has dual aspect over the paddock and gardens.
Upstairs there are five excellent bedrooms off a large galleried landing with sitting area, together with two bathrooms.
Outside the grounds extend to 3.79 acres and include a large private formal garden with swimming pool, adjoining orchard and 2 acre paddock with separate access from Worcester Road. There are several domestic outbuildings including changing rooms, triple garaging and an additional detached garage which we believe subject to the appropriate approval could be converted into ancillary accommodation to the main house.
