5 bedroom detached period family home in Defford
Date : 25 November 2011
Spring Bank House,
Defford, Worcestershire
Spring Bank House is a wonderful detached family home for sale in Defford dating back to the 18th century. The principal rooms at the southern end of the house enjoy breathtaking views to Bredon Hill and the owner has undertaken a programme of work to update the exterior of the house.
From the front door you enter a wonderfully spacious entrance hall which allows flexibility to be used as an additional reception room and enjoys a feature open fireplace.
The sitting room is light and airy with double doors out to the front paved terrace and there is a separate dining room with original built-in cupboards and shelving.
There is a further reception room known as the ‘snug’ which has a raised working fireplace and a window through to the fine west facing conservatory from which the gardens and evening sun can be enjoyed.
The fitted kitchen includes a 4-oven oil fired Aga and wonderful dual aspect views across the gardens.
From the reception hall a doorway down to a generous cellar and stairs lead up to a galleried first floor landing with feature wrought iron balustrade. Off the landing are five spacious bedrooms offering ample family accommodation as well as a family bathroom and a separate shower room.
Wrought iron entrance gates on stone pillars lead through to a gravelled parking area and onwards to the carport. The carport forms part of an outbuilding offering ample storage space and against the rear wall of the outbuilding is a charming period lean-to greenhouse with shingle flooring and vines growing.
The outbuilding is linked to Spring Bank House with wonderful feature archways leading through to the rear courtyard and secondary vehicular entrance.
The multi-level gardens are absolutely idyllic and landscaped with an abundance of mature shrubs, box hedging, feature metal obelisk with climbing plant and a number of productive fruit trees.
From the front of the house steps lead down to the lower garden with a magnificent Magnolia tree. The gardens wrap around the house and enable the all-day sunshine to be enjoyed as well as the breathtaking views to Bredon Hill.
Spring Bank House is deceptively spacious and viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space that it offers as well as the spectacular views and magical gardens.
