Location & Description
The property enjoys a quiet setting on the outskirts of the highly regarded and well served village of Kempsey, approximately 3 miles south of the city of Worcester and just 6 miles north of the riverside town of Upton upon Severn. Within the village there is a church, primary school, a local shop/stores, a village hall and three pubs. Approximately a mile away on the outskirts of Worcester there is a nearby filling station and a Waitrose supermarket.
Transport communications are excellent. There are two mainline railway stations in Worcester and Junction 7 of the M5 motorway is only a few minutes drive away. For those who enjoy outdoor life there are many countryside walks along the nearby River Severn and on the Malvern Hills.
Originally believed to date back to the 1800's Appletree Cottage has been the subject of significant extension and alteration in more recent years. It now offers extremely generous and flexible family accommodation on two floors and has the added benefit of gas fired central heating and double glazed windows.
On the ground floor a large entrance hall leads to a cloakroom with WC, a lounge, separate dining room, a very spacious open plan kitchen/family room, utility room, a playroom that doubles as an office and a separate WC. On the first floor a landing leads to four bedrooms, one of which has its own en-suite shower room. There is also a contemporary family bathroom.
Outside a gated entrance leads on to a gravelled driveway which provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a more recently erected detached garage alongside which are two small garden stores of timber construction.
One of the great strengths of Appletree Cottage is its setting in a large private garden of approximately half an acre. From the front and side of the property are views across adjacent open countryside.
