On the outskirts of desirable Penn, backing onto fields beyond the city, this uniquely characterful 3-bedroom detached house represents an unmissable opportunity, having never been put to market before. A substantial family home, the property has remained in the same family for almost a century, built by the vendor’s grandfather in 1930 using a traditional solid oak frame and beautiful reclaimed materials, salvaged from historic local buildings. As the first house to be built on Springhill Park, the original owner had the choice of plots and chose this superb, south-facing double width plot enjoying glorious views across the surrounding fields, towards the distant Malvern and Clee hills. Constructed using beautiful reclaimed timbers, charming stained glass, and elegant period features, taken from Oxley Manor, the Manor’s farmhouse, Wolverhampton’s Giffard Arms, and nearby St Bartholomew’s church, the house boasts a sense of character all its own; notably, the staircase is thought to be around 300 years old. Within the last two years, this unique home has undergone a comprehensive scheme of renovations and now benefits from an entirely new heating system, which is still under a maintenance contract. The improvements include a new, high-end fitted kitchen with unused integrated appliances, including four ovens – perfect for the keen cook! A brand-new downstairs cloakroom has also been created, with the remaining bathrooms all renovated to an excellent standard. Within, the glorious entrance hall showcases the property’s unique charm, leading onto a large, triple-aspect lounge and an excellent dining room, both with wonderful, salvaged fireplaces. The L-shaped breakfast kitchen is perfect for modern living, beautifully presented with full-height windows to the south-facing rear garden. Beneath the house, the extensive, two-room cellar stretches to approximately 60% of the ground floor plan, offering dry storage ideal for wine and laundry, one room having its own tunnel directly onto the garden, emerging beneath the raised sun terrace. Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts a chic en suite alongside a lovely second double bedroom, both with feature fireplaces, and a vast family bathroom. On the second floor, the property boasts a light and spacious, purpose-built double bedroom, recently fitted with new Velux roof windows. The house benefits from a wide frontage, a large south-facing garden with aged stonework from Oxley Manor Farm, and plenty of space to further extend if desired. Considerable driveway parking can be found to the front, before a single garage.
