A secluded cottage surrounded by a glorious valley, with open fires, ancient beams and a dedicated Lego room
Haventree Cottage is a gorgeous six-bedroom home that's just what you dream of when thinking about a move to the country.
It's easy to live in rural Britain without ever really feeling immersed in the countryside. A small town or large village might can be in the middle of a National Park or National Landscape, yet a road full of houses is still a road full of houses.
And then there are other places, where the entire home feels like it's been lifted from a Constable painting, or the pages of Cider with Rosie, or an episode of The Darling Buds of May... You get the idea — not least because you've already seen the picture at the top of this page. Haventree Cottage is the sort of place that you dream of when you think of moving to the country.
Located within the Malvern Hills National Landscape in Worcestershie, Haventree Cottage — which is for sale at £1.35 million with Morgan Aps — is framed by a wildlife. The trees, the gardens and the pond — regularly frequented by ducks and other visiting wildlife — creates a picturesque backdrop point that you'll enjoy not just as you approach the house, but also from the windows of every principal room of this traditional timber-frame property on the edge of the village of Suckley.
The windows in question are a mix of original timber framed in the oldest parts of hte house — which as you'll see from the architecture, has evolved and been expanded several times over the centuries.
The newest part is the kitchen, with floor-to-ceiling windows and bifold doors and a vaulted roof, leading out to a terrace area with view not just of the property’s two acres, but across the entire Teme valley unfolding in the distance. Such an expanse of open countryside can mean only one thing: mile after mile of walks on the doorstep.
Inside, as the agent states, Haventree Cottage is ‘absolutely perfect for a busy family… [with] plenty of spaces for relaxing, entertaining and working.'
Open fires and ancient timber beams are found throughout a home that is bursting with character and period charm.
It's cosy, comfortable, beautiful and fun — not least for the sixth bedroom, on the second floor, which seems to be used pretty much as a dedicated Lego room at the moment. The countryside literally on the doorstep, and a Lego room for rainy days: what could be finer?
Haventree is for sale through Morgan Aps — see more details.
