Property description

This stunning property, originally built around 1840 and prior to renovation used as a grain store, is attached to the original main barn.  The properties were tastefully and sympathetically converted in 1994 retaining ORIGINAL TIMBER BEAMS and character features and The Cider Mill has been well maintained by the present owner. The SPACIOUS ACCOMMODATION is beautifully presented and is in EXCELLENT DECORATIVE ORDER THROUGHOUT.  The majority of the interior doors are TIMBER LATCHED with attractive black handles featuring heart-shaped thumb plates. The rural hamlet of Great Washbourne, with its delightful early 12th century church of St. Mary, is ideally located equidistant between the towns of Evesham and Tewkesbury within the Vale but on the edge of The Cotswolds and close to Bredon Hill.  The village of Beckford is close by which has a Post Office and General Store and Great Washbourne is also within easy reach of the M5 motorway providing a good link to the North and South.

The development itself is set on a large plot with a walled communal front garden and driveway with a central circular feature.  Each property has its own private driveway providing OFF-ROAD PARKING FOR SEVERAL VEHICLES and an allocated single garage and store within a block. The private driveway, which is laid to Cotswold stone chippings, leads from the central circle to the property, which is located on the left corner plot and there is a picket gate set into the side wall giving access to the side of the property and to the rear garden.  There is also an ADDITIONAL ACCESS via a second driveway leading to a timber five-bar gate  which opens to FURTHER HARD STANDING to the side of the house.
