Location & Description
The property enjoys a quiet setting close to the centre of the highly regarded village of Alfrick close to the Herefordshire border with Worcestershire and approximately six miles from Great Malvern, eight miles from the City of Worcester and just seven miles from Bromyard.

The village itself has a community hall with regular activities and tennis courts, recreation ground, cricket and football. St. Mary Magdelene Church that dates backs to the 12th century and the excellent community shop which stocks fresh, local produce, has a Post Office and is a collection point for prescriptions from the local GP and pharmacy at Knightwick. The Fox and Hounds Inn at nearby Lulsley (temporarily closed), Hop Shed Brewery in Suckley open on Fridays and Saturdays for food and ale and The Talbot at Knightwick is nearby.

The Knapp Papermill and Ravenshill Nature reserves are also close by and the area is renowned for some of the most unspoilt rural landscapes and walks. There are also local bus services to provide access to local primary schools at Suckley and Leigh Sinton and secondary schools in Malvern and Worcester.

Transport and communications are good. Junction 7 of the M5 motorway south of Worcester is twenty minutes away and there are mainline railway stations in both Great Malvern and Worcester. The village is not only surrounded by the two nature reserves referred to earlier but also by some of the most unspoilt countryside in the region. It is the perfect spot for anyone who enjoys outdoor life, walking or riding.
Holmleigh is a wonderfully located detached bungalow situated on this generous plot affording fine views from the rear aspect over open countryside. Conveniently situated in the heart of this popular village within close proximity to the excellent community store and cafe.

The property is approached via a block paved driveway leading down to the property past a lawned foregarden enclosed by a hedged perimeter with shrub beds. The driveway opens to allow ample parking for vehicles and gives access to the double garage.

From the driveway a paved pedestrian path leads past a beautiful heather bed leading to the obscured double glazed UPVC front door set under a storm porch recess with tiled floor and ceiling light point. This doorway with an obscured double glazed matching side panel opens to the living accommodation which is deceptively spacious and set over one level and extending to 1,441 square foot.

The living accommodation benefits from oil fired central heating and double glazing and subject to the relevant permissions being sought there is potential for further development. Although the property has been well maintained over the years there is some cosmetic refurbishment which could be undertaken and is a real opportunity to make this fabulous home your own.
