Property description

A \"hidden gem\" of outstanding quality constructed in 2001 behind electric gates with almost 3 ACRES and masses of parking, designed to captivate awe inspiring grandstand views, taking in Heightington Top and the Clee Hills some 20 miles away! Ruskin House is an exquisite contemporary family residence on a grand scale and most crucially enjoys a totally private yet ultra-convenient setting between Hartlebury and Ombersley providing very quick access to Historic Worcester City and the M5 - each about 10 miles distant. The grounds also include a separate gated access off the Lane, lending the opportunity for the keeping of recreational horses subject to requisite Consents. In all, and without the triple garage, the property extends to about 3,131sq.ft (GIA), the centre piece of which is a huge purpose built snooker room which will include the fine custom built table! A very special property. Energy Rating E


DESCRIPTION
Ruskin House is an exemplary luxury detached residence offered for sale for the first time ever given that it has been built by the current owners some 15 years ago and with this fact in mind, the care and attention to detail is wonderfully evident! In fact the property is so good, and also so varied and versatile, that the confines of this short text would not even come close to doing it justice but suffice to say that Ruskin House is most definitely one of the very best properties, both inside and out, that you would be likely to find within this price bracket and is truly only fully appreciated by personal inspection.Based upon the thesis that privacy is the pre-requisite of comfort then the exceptional secluded position of Ruskin House simply cannot fail to impress, being an oasis of peace and tranquillity, all against a very beautiful back drop - namely the inspiring far reaching front vista made even better blended against the context of the property's own landscaped foregardens and duck pool!The plot extends to about 2.924 acres and, totally separate from the main electric gated entrance to the driveway, there is also another independent access off Nannygoat Lane, this opening to an extensive block paved area of hard-standing, providing masses of further additional parking, ideal for many varied uses including garden parties or family weddings, etc. Hand in glove with this then the grounds themselves are also suitable to site a large marquee! The other most valuable factor about Ruskin House is its age (built in 2001) creating the massive benefit of low maintenance living for a good many years! Similar North Worcestershire properties on this scale, and with this degree of privacy and amenity, would be very hard to find and as such we highly recommend a viewing.A wealth of living space eminently capable of serving a wide variety of family uses and needs is on offer and is extremely impressive.
