Situation • Millhouse is situated within Upper Hall Farm, a small exclusive enclave of barns and an imposing farmhouse, occupying a fine elevated setting adjoining countryside and with glorious views. • Situated on the edge of Hampton Lovett, a small hamlet to the north of Droitwich. • The M5 motorway network is highly accessible at Junction 5. Birmingham City is only 33 miles to the north and has an international airport (30 miles) and several train terminals. • Droitwich Spa has a Waitrose and a mainline station with regular direct trains to Birmingham and onward connections to London. • Worcester to the south has all that would be expected of a city, including Premiership rugby at Sixways, county cricket in the setting of Worcester Cathedral and horse racing on the banks of the River Severn. There are a selection of private schools in the county including Bromsgrove School, King’s School Worcester, RGS Worcester, Abberley Hall School and Malvern Colleges. • Local footpaths and bridle ways provide access through this wonderful countryside. For sale freehold • A long shared drive sweeps up to this small enclave development surrounded by open countryside and offering complete peace and tranquillity along with rural views. • It offers spacious family accommodation and a wealth of character including exposed beams throughout, cottage style internal doors and strategic glazed windows making it light and airy and allowing the countryside views to be enjoyed. Millhouse is attached and it is understood that it was converted in 1997. • The glazed front door, with floor to ceiling windows either side, opens to the charming dining hall which includes windows incorporating glazed French doors on the opposite side of the room opening to the rear terrace, making this a light and airy space at the heart of the house. The dining hall also features a flagstone floor and an Inglenook fireplace housing a multi-fuel log burning stove. • The cosy dual aspect living room features exposed beams, recessed shelving and the focal point of the room is a wood burning stove on a flagstone hearth. • The modern kitchen/breakfast room with its lovely vaulted ceiling, includes a range of cupboards with a composite worktop, Rangemaster electric oven and grill with a six burner gas hob and an integrated dishwasher. A stable door opens to the rear garden and from the kitchen steps lead down to the lower hall accommodation. • The lower hall accommodation includes a utility room, fifth bedroom/study, family bathroom and master bedroom. The master bedroom is particularly spacious with window shutters, a pitched beamed ceiling and enjoys rear garden and countryside views. The adjacent contemporary bathroom includes a shower enclosure and separate bath. It could very easily be designed as an en suite to the master bedroom by installing an additional doorway at the end of the entrance hall creating separation from the fifth bedroom/study and utility room. • Upstairs is a guest bedroom en suite with dual aspect picture windows, built-in wardrobes, pitched beamed ceiling and a raised bed which could be removed in order to revert back to a traditional double bedroom. • The family bathroom on the first floor serves two further bedrooms, both of which have pitched ceilings, a feature high level triangular shaped window and second normal sized window. Gardens and grounds • To the front of the property is an area of lawn and a paved terrace, and from here it looks out onto the development courtyard which includes a charming grass turning circle. • Adjacent to the house is an attached double garage with power and light. There is a personnel door for access, and two garage doors to the front courtyard. A staircase leads to useful upper floor boarded storage space. • The driveway is completely private and not shared. Between the house and the garage is a five bar entrance gate which opens to provide access to the rear of the property and to gravel parking for several cars and a loggia style overhang at the rear of the garage providing useful covered storage space. Beyond the gravel parking area is a walled gravel garden which has been designed in the style of a ruin. • Immediately to the rear of Millhouse are superb landscaped gardens, which include multi-level paved terraces and lawns and raised borders with perennials and evergreen plants providing all year round colour and interest. There is also an ornamental pond and rill with a quaint footbridge and adjacent decked terrace which offers a strategic seating area allowing views across the gardens towards Millhouse and also across the neighbouring countryside to the Clent and Lickey Hills in the distance. • The rear landscaped cascading gardens are a real asset to Millhouse and offer a superb setting for alfresco dining.
