House For Sale £750,000
Formerly the wing to The Old Rectory, Salwarpe Grange is an attached, Grade II listed, characterful village house, set privately in its walled gardens and approached from a no-through lane at the centre of the village.
The current owners have made a number of improvements including redecoration, refurbishing the sash windows, re-fitting the bathrooms and installing fine cast iron radiators to the drawing room, principal bedroom and cloakroom. The large sash windows, some with window shutters, provide plenty of light into the house and allow views of the gardens and parish church.
Stone pavers lead to the glass paned front door with fanlight above, that opens to the reception hall featuring cornicing that is also throughout the house, picture and dado rails.
The drawing room has undergone a complete makeover. Features include handmade wall mouldings, a fine fireplace housing a multi-fuel log burner on a stone hearth, with a bread oven to the side and engineered pale oak parquet flooring.
A pair of glazed French doors lead into the conservatory that is south west facing and overlooks the gardens.
The fitted kitchen has a dining area and a mellow red quarry tiled floor, with a Stanley range cooker providing cooking and water heating in addition to a stable door to the outside.
The principal bedroom has exposed floorboards and fitted wardrobes. Its sumptuous re-fitted en suite shower room includes a walk-in double shower with a stone shower tray and rainfall and handheld shower heads, vanity wash hand basin with a stone surface and porcelain wall and floor tiles including underfloor heating.
The two further bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and one also has a fine feature fireplace and surround. They are served by a re-fitted contemporary family bathroom including a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure with a stone shower tray and rainfall and handheld shower heads, a vanity wash hand basin and stone tiles.
A sweeping gravel drive leads through wrought iron gates to Salwarpe Grange, where there is gravel walled parking and a single garage.
The walled gardens are south and west facing, with an upper and lower lawn and al fresco dining can be enjoyed on the large terrace outside the conservatory. There are a range of strategically planted evergreen and perennial plants providing all-year round interest and colour.
At the very bottom of the garden, a gate set in the wall opens to the no-through lane with a footpath and bridleway nearby.

Salwarpe Grange is at the very heart of this extremely desirable village, that comprises a scattering of period rural homes, including The Old Rectory and Salwarpe Court. It is set within a Conservation Area and enjoys a peaceful outlook to the 14th century church of St Michael. The nearby river, Salwarpe canal and footpaths provide access to fine walks.
There are excellent schools in the area including a selection of private schools in Worcester (King's and rgs) and Malvern Colleges. Abberley Hall and Bromsgrove School are also in the county.
The popularity of the area owes much to its rural yet convenient location. Nearby Droitwich Spa has a Waitrose and a mainline station with trains running regularly to Birmingham, with onward connections to London.
Worcester to the south offers wider amenities including professional rugby at Sixways Stadium, county cricket in the setting of Worcester Cathedral and horse racing on the banks of the River Severn.
It is very conveniently located for access to the motorway network and Birmingham City to the north has an international airport (31 miles), several national train terminals and vast retail, restaurant and entertainment facilities.
