Ancient wooden doors, exposed beams and trusses and the black and white brick and timber exterior all speak to the long history of Wood Street Cottage in Wood Street, Bushley, near Tewkesbury.

The village home’s traditional looks are being preserved by a Grade II listing. Inside there are large open fires, natural flooring and a plethora of beams that criss cross the walls and ceilings.

However, it is not without its contemporary comforts, including smart bathrooms and a comfortable fitted kitchen.

On the ground floor there is a porch entrance and a charming reception hall with oak floor, exposed beams and a guest cloakroom.

To the left hand side there is a sitting room with views over the surrounding countryside. A warm and peaceful room, it has an inglenook fireplace with a log burner.

There is another inglenook fireplace in the dining room, again with a log burner inside it. Built from exposed brick, it still has the original bread oven.

A door leads from the dining room into a second hallway which has a tumbled marble floor and a second cloakroom.

This hallway leads through to the spacious kitchen which has a flagstone floor and is fitted with a range of painted units with wooden worktops over. It has a large central island and the appliances include an electric range oven with gas hob and extractor over and an integral dishwasher. Double doors lead out to the back garden.

The breakfast/family area also has an inglenook fireplace with log burner, making it a good space for the family to relax over an informal meal.

Completing the ground floor rooms are a utility with quarry tiled floor and built-in storage and a cosy study.

On the first floor there is a spacious landing that is big enough for a study area to be created.

There are four bedrooms. The master has far reaching views over the countryside and towards Bredon Hill. It has a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with free-standing roll top bath with shower attachment and a separate shower cubicle.

There are two more double bedrooms, both with views towards the Cotswold escarpment, and a single bedroom.

The first floor also has a shower room and a family bathroom.

Outside there is a gravelled driveway offering parking for several vehicles. A double carport has ground floor space, a first floor loft and a shower room, making it suitable for a variety of uses.

In the attractive gardens there is an ornamental pond, a knot garden, multiple paved areas including a patio that can be reached from the kitchen, a lawned garden with herbaceous borders and several mature trees. There is a useful outbuilding and views over the surrounding countryside.

A fridge freezer and a hot tub at the cottage may be available by separate negotiation.

Wood Street is privately owned by Wood Street Cottage and its neighbours who have joint responsibility for its maintenance.

The cottage is situated on the outskirts of the country village of Bushley.

The towns of Tewkesbury, Upton-upon-Severn, Malvern and Worcester are within easy reach and offer shops, restaurants, theatres, leisure amenities and good schools.
