Known as a ‘Hovel’ in Victorian times, Number 29 is an ex-estate workers cottage that has been beautifully restored and tastefully extended.
It sits on the edge of Madresfield Village, part of the 4000-acre rural Madresfield Estate, Worcestershire.
With three bedrooms sleeping up six guests, families, friends, and couples alike will enjoy this countryside escape, with fabulous views of the Malvern Hills, complete with a private, landscaped garden and patio with a wood-fired hot-tub and off-road parking for three cars; this property is also dog friendly.
The interior has been designed with sociable dining in mind with a well-appointed, spacious kitchen-diner with double doors leading on to a sizeable patio and garden.
After a delicious meal cooked on the barbecue, the wood-fired hot tub will allow you to unwind and star-gaze whilst reminiscing about your day’s adventures.
On colder nights you can peacefully rest in the beautifully designed living room or choose to play games, read, or watch television, warmed by the heat from the wood burning stove.
Completing the ground floor is a utility with washer/dryer and cloakroom whilst the first floor hosts the family bathroom.
The stunning interior design continues in to the three bedrooms, one of which is a king-size with the other two providing flexible arrangements, featuring zip and link beds that can be made into super-king or twin bedrooms.
