Location & Description

The Dog is situated in the heart of the popular village of Bosbury, which has a primary school, church, village hall and public house. The heart of this neighbourhood is its active village hall which is within walking distance and plays host to a weekly post office and any number of clubs and classes from tennis, bowls, cricket along with the popular 'Flicks in the Sticks'. Similarly, the nearby Holy Trinity Church, steeped in history hosts bell ringing groups and 'Bosbury Brew' each week where locals meet for coffee and cake, further enriching this villages' strong sense of community. 'The Bell Inn' pub sits opposite the Church and is well thought of locally for its good food and relaxed atmosphere and prides itself for being 'a country pub for country people'. Ledbury is approximately 4 miles away and has a wide range of facilities and amenities including a mainline railway station. The M50 motorway is four miles to the south of Ledbury. The property is strategically well placed for access to a number of major centres including the city of Worcester (14 miles), Hereford (16 miles), Malvern (9 miles). In Malvern itself there is an excellent range of facilities including Waitrose supermarket, shops and banks, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium. Malvern also has two railway stations and Junction 7 of the M5 motorway at Worcester is only about ten miles away. The area is also renowned for its educational facilities including a variety of highly regarded primary state and private schools (notably Malvern College and Malvern St James School as well as The Downs and Elms Preparatory Schools).

Believed to date back to the 15th Century, The Dog is a most attractive Grade II listed detached black and white cottage conveniently situated in the heart of the popular village of Bosbury. The property is full of character and charm with many fine period features including extensive exposed timbers, wooden internal latch doors and original fireplaces. The current owners have further enhanced the cottage over recent years with the installation of wood burning stoves, re-wiring, re-plumbing and secondary double glazing to a large number of the windows. The annexe conversion was completed in 2018 creating an open-plan living/dining room with sink unit, attractive bedroom with en-suite shower room and an area of courtyard garden to the rear. Benefitting from gas central heating the well presented accommodation comprises to the ground floor an entrance hall with cloakroom off, boiler/utility room, reception/dining hall, snug, study, kitchen breakfast room and attractive sitting room. To the first floor the part galleried landing gives access to the master bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and the beautifully appointed family bathroom. The Dog enjoys an enclosed, private and most attractively landscaped garden of approximately an acre with sweeping lawns, mature trees, large flower borders and well placed seating areas, a true delight. The property is approached from a gated driveway with a generous parking area to the front giving access to the annexe and attached garage. There is an EV charging point. An early inspection is highly recommended to appreciate this delightful home within the heart of the village and its glorious garden.
