If this year’s blazing July has set the tone for summers to come then Lilac Croft in Little Comberton, Pershore, will have a very attractive selling point.

Its outdoor swimming pool looks particularly inviting as the mercury rises.

It is a luxury unlikely to have been considered back when the pretty looking house was built in 1750. Rooms on the ground floor are well proportioned. There is a large kitchen-cum-dining room which leads into the drawing room with marble fireplace and French doors out to the terrace and a family room or play room. “Work” rooms include a study and utility with door to a downstairs shower room and toilet.

Upstairs Lilac Croft has four bedrooms. The master has an en-suite and there is a family bathroom. Lilac Croft is set in landscaped gardens and grounds of just under an acre that includes a small orchard and a large outbuilding.
