Location & Description:
Hayward House enjoys a convenient location less than a mile from the popular and well served village of Leigh Sinton where local amenities include an excellent village store, a Chinese restaurant, well respected pub and modern primary school. The larger towns of Malvern (four miles), Worcester (six miles) and Hereford (fifteen miles) are all within easy striking distance. There are mainline railway stations at all three of these centres and Junction 7 of the M5 motorway at Worcester is only about fifteen minutes away by car.
The area is well known for its wonderful scenery and the property itself is only a short distance from the renowned Worcestershire Way. Haywood House makes full use of this terrific setting, located as it is in the heart of unspoilt countryside and enjoying views to the south and west across adjacent farmland towards the Storridge Hills and the Malverns in the distance. It is a great sight.
Hayward House is a striking and charming attached former barn converted in the early 1990's. It is offered with propane gas central heating. Much of the original construction is still in evidence, notably the most attractive mellow brick walls and tiled roof together with exposed internal timbering to walls and ceilings. The property has a lovely bright and spacious feel about it and is designed to make full use of its setting and outlook.
Most of the accommodation is at ground floor level which means that it is particularly well suited to the active retired or disabled purchasers. However, it is also perfect for family use or for those working from home.
On the ground floor the main entrance is via a large fully glazed oak framed conservatory that opens into a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, off which there is also a utility room. From the kitchen there is access to a reception hall, cloakroom and a study which can easily double as a ground floor bedroom. The kitchen also leads to a large open plan dining room and sitting room off which there is another bedroom with its own en-suite shower room and WC. From the reception hall stairs lead to the first floor where there are two more bedrooms, one with its own en-suite bathroom and the other with a shower room. Throughout the house there are strategically placed TV and telephone points. Most of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes or cupboards.
The perfect finishing touch is to be found outside where there are large level gardens and grounds extending to approximately two thirds of an acre or thereabouts. These are mainly laid to lawn with their main feature being are some particularly attractive oak trees that give the property a fine backdrop. The immediate area around the house itself is paved or gravelled with the result that the gardens, though providing a lovely setting are also designed with low maintenance in mind. There are a number of outbuildings including a large greenhouse, a summer house and workshop and a general stores.
