Situation

Corner Cottage is situated within the beautiful and private grounds of the Brockhampton Estate, a National Trust property with 1,700 Acres of parkland to use and enjoy, close to the historic market town of Bromyard. The town is referred to as the "Town of Festivals", notable for its variety of traditional festivals held throughout the year. This property is also well placed for the local towns of Ledbury, Malvern and Leominster, with the cities of Worcester and Hereford nearby. This part of Herefordshire, which lies close to the Worcestershire border, is known for its traditional farms, undulating countryside and productive orchards.

Corner Cottage

This charming cottage dates back to the 1800's. The original building was historically the old wood store for the main house, having been converted into a small terrace of just three cottages in 1982.
Corner Cottage is tastefully decorated, light and beautifully presented, and offers very well proportioned living space throughout.
The kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room and downstairs shower room, all lead off the spacious and welcoming entrance hall, with stairs leading up to the first floor.
The country style kitchen/breakfast room benefits from solid oak work surfaces and a painted Howden's white oak fitted kitchen, with a range of integrated appliances and an electric Leisure double oven and grill with ceramic hob and glass extractor hood.
The comfortable sitting room is lovely and light and has a working open fire and enjoys views over the garden.

Corner Cottage, Ctd.

A newly fitted downstairs shower room with walk-in power shower, also cleverly offers space for a washing machine and there is a large, built-in store cupboard offering good storage for cleaning equipment, etc.
Upstairs, situated off the galleried landing, there are three, good-sized double bedrooms, two of which have fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom with a separate bath and shower (power shower).

The Outside

A private, gated entrance leads through to the property and neighbouring properties. Two single garages adjoin the property; one garage belongs to the Corner Cottage and there is additional, parking for up to 3 cars.
The south/west facing garden is situated to the front of the cottage and a garden gate leads through to the good-sized garden and to the front door.
The established and securely fenced garden is mainly lawn, bordered by a variety of mature shrubs, trees and flowering plants, including spring flowers. A brick paved patio terrace provides the perfect spot for seasonal, al fresco dining, or a place to just sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Raised veg beds provide an opportunity to grow one's own produce with scope to add further beds/soft fruit, etc., if desired.
There are two areas of woodland adjacent to the cottages that form part of the lease and are for the private amenity use and enjoyment of all the residents.
