Property description
An outstanding refurbished detached single storey former lodge with a superb detached annexe both set in delightful gardens of approx 1/3 acre having fine views over fields and towards the Malvern Hills.
Located in a convenient and most attractive rural setting, Dripshill Lodge was the former lodge to the nearby Dripshill House and has been over the years beautifully refurbished and modernised to a very high standard throughout by the present vendors coupled with in 2007 the completion of a superb detached annexe within the grounds making this a wonderful opportunity to prospective purchasers looking for a place that provides dual occupation. Notable features are the fine views over adjoining fields towards Dripshill Wood on the right and to the Malvern Hills in the distance plus the delightful, well stocked mature gardens that go with both the lodge and the annexe amounting in total approx 1/3 acre.
Dripshill Lodge and its annexe are handily placed for the surrounding centres of Great Malvern and Upton on Severn, plus the cathedral city of Worcester where there are extensive educational, leisure and shopping facilities available. Motorway access is gained at Junction 7 of the M5 and this provides swift commuting to Birmingham and The West Midlands, Bristol and The South West and London and The South East via M42/M40.
Viewing is highly recommended by the selling agents to appreciate the setting and the high quality of accommodation that is contained within both the lodge and the detached annexe.
