Westmarsh Lane, Oldbury-on-Severn, BS35

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase and refurbish this detached village dwelling. We understand the property has been in the ownership of the same family for over a hundred years and they believe was once the local butchers. The successful purchaser would have the chance to update it for 21st century life, creating something quite special close to the heart of a thriving village community. All the amenities of Oldbury-on-Severn are within walking distance and these include 'The Anchor' pub, the community shop, the village primary school and St. Arilda’s Church, standing proudly at the top of Church Hill with one of the best panoramic views of the Severn Estuary in the area. For those who love walking, the River Severn is within easy reach along with a plethora of country walks. – not forgetting the sailing club as well. The accommodation currently comprises entrance hall, with steps leading up to a generous lounge with open fire. Doors lead off from here to the kitchen with an old Rayburn currently serving the heating and hot water. There are two double bedrooms - with fitted wardrobes and, beyond the kitchen, the family shower room. Subject to any necessary planning consents, the attached storage building could be converted and adapted to make the most fantastic living space, perhaps with a vaulted ceiling and views out across the garden. Mature cottage gardens stretch out at the rear, a haven for enthusiastic gardeners and children to play, along with two greenhouses and garden shed. 'Severnside' is approached via an entrance drive with parking for a couple of motor vehicles and is access to a further storage shed. We anticipate an immediate reaction and would urge you to register your interest today!
