The village of Suckley has a church and an excellent primary school as well as Holloways Garden Centre and café. Alfrick has a Community store with Post Office and coffee shop. There are fantastic walking and cycling routes accessible from the property including the Suckley Hills Crews Hill is also well placed for access to the more major centres of Great Malvern (eight miles), Ledbury (fourteen miles), Worcester (ten miles) and Hereford (twenty two miles). Junction 7 of the M5 motorway is near Worcester and there are mainline railway stations in Ledbury, Malvern and Worcester.

Crews Hill House is a wonderfully located detached property of period character and charm, offering flexible and versatile rooms set over two floors. Its position in an elevated setting provides panoramic views back to the Malvern Hills and over the surrounding valley. One of the key selling points of this property is the generous grounds including formal garden and paddock together with 8 acres of pasture land that surround the property. The house is initially approached over a gravel driveway that leads past a small fenced paddock and lawned front garden and enjoys a southerly aspect with fine views. The driveway continues to the rear of the property where the main parking area is located. From here access is gained to the fields (described later) as well as the stable block. There is a medieval barn, with planning permission to be converted into an annexe/home office and studio, planning application number 21/0/566/HP. The front of the property is initially approached through a glazed wooden door that opens to an entrance porch and giving access to a further internal lockable door through to the accommodation which is in excess of 2500 sq. ft. The house has wonderful period character and charm, coupled with the amenities of modern day living. From all rooms glorious views are on offer over the surrounding countryside.

The open plan living room is at the centre of the house and offers triple aspect double glazed windows to make the most of the views. A flexible and versatile space where the open glazed, balustraded staircase rises to the first floor. There is an inglenook fireplace with wooden mantel and wood burning stove set on a blue brick hearth. A fabulous room for entertaining and is open to the dining area linked to the kitchen via a wooden open wall. The kitchen itself is beautifully fitted with cream fronted units with worktop over and a wonderful breakfast bar and granite island with additional cupboards. Range of integrated appliances. The hallway gives access to the rear hallway with door to guest cloakroom and useful storage cupboard. In addition to the living room there are two further reception rooms, both generous in proportion and offering flexibility and enjoying south facing views to the Malvern Hills.

On the first floor there are four generous double bedrooms, all light and airy and take in the fantastic views across the surrounding countryside. The bedrooms are conveniently serviced by a shower room and separate family bathroom. Off the landing is a useful utility cupboard with plumbing for washing machine.

Outside
Undoubtedly one of the key selling points of this property is its outdoor space which wraps around the house to all sides and incorporates formal gardens, a small paddock and fields extending to 8.6 acres. Initially the main formal garden is to the south aspect of the house and enjoys an initial lawned area with gate leading to a further enclosed grass paddock.

The gravel driveway continues to the rear off the property and allows for ample parking and a pea gravelled seating area where the pleasantries of this fantastic setting can be enjoyed.

The pasture land wraps around on three sides and is enclosed by a wood fenced and hedged perimeter with a range of specimen fruit trees. There is gated vehicular access to the field and in total this area extends to 8 acres. The wooden stable block ( three loose boxes and tack room ) with pitched verandah is located in the rear parking area.

Within the curtilage is a detached barn which requires attention but does have full planning permission to be converted into an additional annexe to the house, or to be used as a home office/studio. Planning application 21/0/566/HP
