Owls End is a simply stunning, beautifully designed and meticulously laid out family home combining a pretty house with the finest of contemporary living. Five bedrooms, gorgeous open plan living area and kitchen, sitting room, study, utility room, vaulted ceilings, oak beams, cellar, and underfloor heating.

All set in one acre of lawned gardens with the bonus of an attached two bedroom annexe, detached garden room and large drive situated on a quiet country lane in Himbleton near Worcester.

The original house with an adorning wisteria is in parts over 300 years old. It has been completely modernised whilst retaining genuine character and charm including fireplaces, parquet flooring, original wooden doors, and woodwork. It has been rewired, replastered as well as having new timber frame double glazed windows, log burner and new bathrooms with underfloor heating (electric).

The modern oak frame building is majestic and has more than doubled the size of the property. The ground floor is breathtaking and finished to extremely high standard making incredible use of glass, space, exposed original stonework and natural light. With a wall of glass, numerous roof windows and a vaulted ceiling natural light floods the room. At over 55' long the open plan layout includes a fabulous white kitchen with integrated appliances, island, dining area and sitting room with electric blinds overlooking the gardens. A pair of French doors open up on to an oak deck making this a superb space to spend with family or entertaining friends.

Off the kitchen is a useful utility room, front door and entrance hall to the attached annexe.

Head up the stairs there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom; the fifth bedroom is on the ground floor next to the shower room. The main bedroom is heavenly and includes fitted wardrobes, a luxury en suite bathroom also with a wall of glass, electric blinds and idllic views. The bedrooms are light, roomy, carpeted and very tastefully presented.

ANNEXE

The annexe is attached to the main house and has a lovely open plan kitchen/living room with large windows and doors overlooking the garden, two bedrooms and a sizeable bathroom with wet room. The annexe, with it's own private entrance, is an ideal space for guests or dependant family who want to be close but looking for their own independence.

Also, there is a versatile garden room complete with shower room and kitchen units currently used as a studio/gym but it would also make good extra accommodation or hobby room..

Owls End is a sublime property and sits in a raised and enviable position. Having loved every minute of the last 24 years the owners have now decided to let someone else enjoy this amazing home.

The lawns are flat, easy to maintain, not overlooked and ideal for children or grandchildren to kick a ball about, play basketball and roam safely. The wisteria on the front of the house is glorious and fully blossoms in May.
