A beautifully appointed detached character cottage where timeless period charm meets exceptional contemporary design, occupying a generous wrap-around plot within one of Worcestershire's most sought-after villages.

Thoughtfully extended and lovingly improved by the current owner, Holbeck perfectly balances original character with modern family living. The architect-designed extension has created a stunning home that is equally suited to everyday life and entertaining, whilst preserving the warmth and individuality expected from a period cottage.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive bespoke kitchen, flooded with natural light and opening seamlessly onto the entertaining terrace through full-width bi-fold doors. Finished to an excellent specification, the kitchen features underfloor heating, two Neff ovens, a Bora induction hob with integrated extractor, integrated Bosch dishwasher, Samsung fridge and a slimline wine cooler, creating a stylish yet practical space for modern living.

Flowing effortlessly from the kitchen is the charming dining room, where exposed ceiling beams, elegant Crittall-style doors and underfloor heating create a wonderful atmosphere for both family dining and entertaining.

The magnificent oak-framed sitting room is a true highlight of the property, boasting a vaulted ceiling, bespoke plantation shutters, a contemporary gas fire and wonderful views across the landscaped gardens. A separate snug provides a cosy retreat, complete with an authentic fireplace and wood-burning stove, whilst a useful utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the master bedroom enjoys a beautifully designed en-suite shower room created by an interior designer, featuring underfloor heating, a walk-in shower, contemporary vanity unit, WC and Velux windows. A generous guest bedroom is served by an equally impressive family bathroom comprising a full-sized bath, separate shower, wall-hung WC, oak worktop vanity unit and heated towel rail. A third bedroom provides excellent flexibility as a child's bedroom, dressing room or home office.

Outside, Holbeck continues to impress. The wrap-around gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of beautifully designed outdoor spaces. A generous patio directly outside the kitchen is ideal for summer entertaining, whilst terraced gardens lead to an elevated sun deck and further decked seating area, providing peaceful places to relax throughout the day. To the front, established lawns, raised flower and vegetable beds, a summer house, garden shed and charming treehouse create a wonderful environment for families and keen gardeners alike.

A single garage offers excellent storage with potential for conversion (subject to the necessary consents), whilst the driveway provides off-road parking for three or more vehicles. There is also an electric vehicle charging point for added convenience.

Lower Broadheath is one of Worcestershire's most desirable villages, combining a thriving community with beautiful surrounding countryside. Best known as the birthplace of Sir Edward Elgar, the village offers a choice of 2 popular public houses, village hall, cricket club, church and excellent countryside walks, whilst remaining just a short drive from Worcester city centre, the A44, A443 and M5 motorway.

The property falls within the catchment area for the highly regarded Broadheath C.E. Primary School and The Chantry School, whilst Worcester's renowned independent schools, including The King's School Worcester, The Royal Grammar School and RGS The Grange, are all within easy reach.

Holbeck offers a rare opportunity to enjoy an exceptional village lifestyle in a beautifully presented home where period charm, contemporary comfort and outstanding gardens combine to create something truly special.
