4 Bedroom Detached House

Location

Upton-upon-Severn is an historic riverside town serving a wide rural catchment area with a thriving tourist industry, due to hosting many well known festivals throughout the year.  The town offers a good variety of shops, supermarkets, newsagents/post office, bakery, hardware store, florists, hairdressers, pubs and restaurants alongside a library, rugby club and doctors surgery with pharmacy and dentist.

Located approximately 8 miles from Malvern, 10 miles from Worcester and 6 miles from Tewkesbury.  Access to Junction 1 of the M50 is approximately 3 miles distant which links to the M5 motorway.  There are mainline railway stations located at Pershore, Worcester and Malvern for the commuter with direct links to London Paddington. 

Property Description

52 Rectory Road enjoys an excellent position in one of the town’s more popular residential areas with views to the rear across unspoilt open farmland towards woodland and the hills in the distance.  On a clear day from the top floor one can even get a glimpse of Tewkesbury Abbey.

 

The property itself is a traditional detached house on three floors (not obvious from a casual drive-by) and thus offers larger than expected family accommodation.  It is, potentially, a project for a buyer who would like to shape the property to suit his/her own lifestyle as it does require refurbishment and general updating. 

 

It has gas fired central heating and double glazed windows virtually throughout.  It also has the added bonus of solar panels which contribute to the grid thus reducing energy bills. 

 

Some years ago, the accommodation was extended at both ground level and with the conversion of the roof spaces into an additional bedroom.  

 

On the ground floor an enclosed porch leads to an entrance hall, a generous lounge/dining room, a conservatory, kitchen, utility room and shower room with WC.  At first floor level a landing leads to three bedrooms and a bathroom (with shower cubicle and bath).  There is also a separate WC.  On the second floor is a fourth bedroom with its own en-suite WC and an additional room that could potentially be converted into a fifth bedroom.

 

Outside a wide block paviour driveway provides off road parking for several vehicles and leads to an integral garage.  The garden, particularly to the rear, is a strong feature and was once the pride and joy of the former owner, although it does now need some work to restore it to its former glory.  The rear garden in particular has a large number of well established shrubs and trees and well stocked borders.  It is also very private.
