A Little Piece of Worcestershire Paradise
Snead Common, near Pensax and Abberley.
Detached Two-Bedroom Bungalow | Loft Rooms | Double Garage | Workshop | Glorious Gardens | Panoramic Countryside Views | No Upward Chain
Tucked away amongst beautiful Worcestershire countryside, yet by no means cut off from everyday life, this is one of those properties that makes you stop, look around and think: what a fabulous find.
And no, we are not exaggerating.
Hayden Estates are absolutely delighted to bring this rather special detached bungalow to the market, offered with no upward chain and sitting within established wrap-around gardens with truly breathtaking panoramic countryside views.
Yes, the property would benefit from updating. But then, so would many of us. The important thing here is what you are starting with: a perfectly liveable home, a wonderful plot, an enviable rural setting and immense potential to create something very special indeed.
The Setting
If your idea of happiness involves watching the seasons change from your own garden, cows and sheep grazing in neighbouring fields and birds of prey swooping overhead, this could be your little piece of paradise.
The scenery is ever-changing and quite simply idyllic. Fabulous flora and fauna surround the property, while countryside walks are there to be enjoyed virtually from the doorstep.
Despite this wonderfully rural setting, you are not totally isolated. Schools, village shops, pubs and neighbouring towns are all within reach, making this an appealing proposition for anyone craving country life without waving goodbye to civilisation altogether.
The Property
Hedged frontage offers privacy with farm-style gate opening into the established wrap-around gardens, alive with mature planting and fruit trees and providing a delightful introduction to the home.
Inside, the bungalow is filled with an abundance of natural light courtesy of well-placed windows which also make the most of those wonderful surroundings.
There are two double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en suite shower room, together with a separate family bathroom.
Two reception rooms provide comfortable and characterful living spaces, both featuring parquet flooring and open fires. Imagine those fires lit on a winter's evening while the countryside outside disappears beneath a dark Worcestershire sky. Rather lovely.
The accommodation continues with a kitchen, utility area and useful storage.
Above are loft rooms offering considerable possibilities for the future. Buyers should note that these rooms do not currently have building regulation or planning consent for use as habitable accommodation, but the space undoubtedly adds another interesting dimension to the property's potential, subject of course to obtaining any necessary consents.
The bungalow benefits from oil-fired central heating and is predominantly double glazed.
Step Outside...
The outside space is every bit as important as the bungalow itself. Established gardens wrap around the property, with fruit trees, mature planting and plenty of space from which to sit and simply absorb the surroundings. There is double garaging with power and lighting, a greenhouse and wooden storage sheds.
And then comes the icing on the cake: a superb timber workshop.
Whether your passion is restoring furniture, tinkering with a classic car, creating art, escaping with a collection of tools or simply having a proper workshop where a workshop ought to be, it is a fantastic addition to an already compelling property.

Our Thoughts
Some properties are all about immaculate kitchens and the latest bathroom tiles. This isn't one of them. This is about setting, space, potential and possibility.
It is somewhere to bring up a family, plant vegetables, keep busy in the workshop, wander the surrounding countryside with the pet dogs, sit beside an open fire and watch the landscape change through four very different seasons.
Update it immediately or take your time. Explore what might be possible with the loft space. Or simply move in, live with it for a while and decide what this home wants to become. Because kitchens can be changed. Bathrooms can be replaced. Décor comes and goes.
But you cannot manufacture a setting like this.
A fabulous find, a wonderful opportunity and, quite possibly, someone's long-awaited piece of Worcestershire paradise.
