<br/><br/>In a popular, dynamic market town, Holly Green Cottage offers the advantages of rural life but with access to key communication routes.
Upton is a town with a liveliness out of all proportion to its size. Its attractive shops, delightful inns and a variety of events each year, such as the Jazz, Folk, Blues and Sunshine Festivals draw crowds in their thousands.<br/><br/>Originally two cottages (one of which was derelict) dating back 500 years and 280 years respectively and the result of an extensive seven-year renovation project combining these into one large home.
The result blends the key features of a period property with contemporary detail.
Traditional oak has been restored to the property throughout many rooms, and has been used for both the porch frame, front and inner doors and windows either side to make a statement entrance.
The living room off retains original beams, exposed brickwork and foundation stonework, complemented by a new solid oak floor. One end of the room is half-panelled with a Georgian fireplace; the other has an inglenook fireplace with soft lighting. Together creating a warm and inviting family space, with controllable wall and ceiling lighting and cast-iron radiators.
An original elm door leads off into a passageway to the downstairs bathroom, created with an Italian influenced limestone finish. The solid oak bath (yes that is correct!) has offset controls, shower head and a waterfall tap, there is also a walk-in ‘drench’ shower, stone hand basin and heated mirror.
The passageway itself has a quarry-tiled floor, decorative chimney and walk-in automatic lighting, with antique wooden cupboard doors giving access to services including the oil-fired central heating boiler and pressurized hot water cylinder tank supplying the showers and bathrooms. Another storage cupboard (behind recycled original stable doors) has plumbing for a washing machine and free-standing tall fridge freezer. A further storage cupboard gives under-stair access with space for further free-standing appliances.
The beamed dining room has h an ornate cast iron radiator, large inglenook fireplace with free standing fire and hood, and a solid oak floor with brushed and burned finish.
A door leads off to the L-shaped fifth/guest bedroom with dual aspect windows and guest cloakroom with oak cupboards and quarry tiled floor.
The dining room also leads to the oak conservatory/sun room. With cast iron radiators and oak flooring and large doors leading out to the patio, and double doors to the kitchen.
This farmhouse-style kitchen has dual aspect windows looking out over the gardens. Units are a traditional handmade oak and walls are exposed reclaimed brick, contrasted with modern Boucheron flagstone flooring from Mandarin Stone, black marble work surfaces and black and white marbled tiling.
With space for a Rangemaster oven (with hood) and large American style fridge freezer. The additional utility room also has plumbing for washing machine or dishwasher, cupboards and sink, and storage space for coats. An oak stable-style door leads to the rear garden.
The first floor can be reached from either of two staircases, one from the dining room, the other from the living room, both leading to the landing. This spacious area has exposed beams and a large chimney breast (rising from the inglenook).
The master bedroom has wall lighting, built-in wardrobe space, cast iron radiator and an en suite shower room with wood and glass finishes.
Bedroom two, at the opposite end of the landing, has exposed original elm floorboards, character Victorian fireplace, cast iron radiator, exposed beams, and an original 400-year-old elm door.
Bedroom three is a double bedroom with dual-aspect windows, black and white beams, feature chimney breast set in the middle of one wall, built-in oak storage cupboards, and tall wall-mounted designer radiator.
The family bathroom has a bath with mixer taps and shower attachment, free-standing sink on large limestone topped hand-made units with mixer tap, and oak fronted storage cupboards beneath.
The bespoke, winding oak staircase to the third floor across a wooden, oak ‘bridge’, has roof window views across the Malvern Hills and leads to another original elm door opening to bedroom four. A large under-eaves double bedroom with roof window to the side and traditional windows to the front, free-standing cast iron radiators and original exposed beams and rafters.
Outside
The oak framed home office is as attractive as it is functional. It has a tiled, roman pattern marble floor and underfloor heating plus cast iron wood burner, windows at either end plus a full height double glazed window overlooking the garden, and character beams and high ceilings. Cleverly planned for potential change of purpose, all services are in place (including TV, internet, water and waste) to provide for alternative use as a self-contained one-bed annex.
The oak framed, tiled roof carport has space for two vehicles or use as storage as required. To the left is a wood store, and concealed refuse space. Additional driveways can accommodate up to 12 vehicles.
It’s worth pausing to appreciate from outside how the original properties have been cleverly blended yet retain features of the two, with both red brick gable and black and white façade.
The garden has pretty brick-edged flowerbeds, flagstoned patio, cobbled areas, and further traditional patio. Designed to create feature areas for both morning and evening sun, and with details like a Georgian lamppost, brick-clad wood-burning pizza oven and vine-draped pergola - ideal for entertaining.
The landscaped garden itself has defined areas with a range of raised beds, composting areas and sheds. For the children, there’s a treehouse nestled in an oak tree, boule pitch, spacious lawns, and a sunken trampoline.
