Location
The property enjoys a pleasant setting in an established residential cul-de-sac close to the centre of the well served village of Cradley which is located on the Herefordshire border with Worcestershire approximately five miles from the cultural and historic spa town of Great Malvern where there is a comprehensive range of amenities including shops and banks, Waitrose supermarket, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium.
Within the village itself there is a butchers shop (which doubles as a village stores), Doctors surgery, dispensary, Church, village hall and primary school. It is conveniently placed for fast access to the major centres of Worcester (ten miles), Hereford (sixteen miles) and Ledbury (nine miles). Junction 7 of the M5
motorway south of Worcester is just over twelve miles away and there is a mainline railway service running from the nearby village of Colwall (five miles) and Malvern. Cradley itself lies in the heart of unspoilt rolling countryside so this is the perfect spot for those who enjoy walking or riding. The Worcestershire
Way is less than two miles away and the village stands in the foothills of the eight mile range of the Malvern Hills.
Description
The Manse is a detached, two bedroomed house, which was originally part of the neighbouring chapel as the name suggests and now offers a wonderful opportunity to either refurbish the current accommodation or has planning permission to demolish (Planning Ref: P192424/F) leaving an undeveloped parcel of land. Further planning permission to build a subsequent property would need to be granted.
The property enjoys a lovely location on a quiet side road in this popular and much sought after village. It is set back from the road behind a deep lawned foregarden with grounds to two sides (being overgrown) and enclosed by a fenced perimeter. There are views from the rear aspect over open countryside.
The front door opens to the living accommodation which is in need of complete refurbishment. We understand that electricity, water and drainage are connected.
