IN NEED OF UPDATING AND REFURBISHMENT
TWO RECEPTION ROOMS, FOUR BEDROOMS, GAS CENTRAL HEATING
EXTENSIVE STORE ROOMS/POTENTIAL OFFICE AND SHOP
USEFUL OUTBUILDINGS GARDEN OFF ROAD PARKING
Location
The property itself is a unique and striking Grade II listed detached half timbered dwelling believed to date back over three centuries. Located as it is in the oldest part of Cradley it has historically been one of the most significant buildings in the area serving the village as its main post office and stores. Although in recent years the Post Office itself has been closed, planning consent designating part of the ground floor for this use is still in force. The house does require updating and refurbishment. Many original features remain including the exposed half timbering to walls and ceilings and fireplaces. Evidence of its recent use as the village shop and post office are also still present with storage rooms, an office and the original shop. The remaining accommodation includes a lounge, dining room, kitchen and four bedrooms one of which has its own en suite bathroom. There is also a separate shower room. The property has gas fired central heating. Outside there is a mature landscaped garden and a recently laid block paviour driveway that provides extensive private parking. Within the grounds there is an attractive single storey stone outbuilding currently used as storage. This was a former bakery which, together with the shop and post office, served the community of Cradley in the past.
Description
The Post Office enjoys a quiet setting close to the centre of the well served village of Cradley on the Herefordshire border with Worcestershire. The village itself has a butchers shop (which doubles as a village stores), doctor's surgery, dispensary, church and primary school. It is also conveniently placed for fast access to the major centres of Malvern (5 miles), Ledbury (9 miles) and the cities of Worcester (10 miles by road and local bus) and Hereford (16 miles). Junction 7 of the M5 motorway south of Worcester is just over 12 miles away and there is a mainline railway service running from the nearby village of Colwall (2 miles) and Malvern. Cradley itself lies in the heart of unspoilt rolling countryside so this is the perfect spot for those who enjoy walking or riding. The Worcestershire Way is less than 2 miles away and the village stands in the foothills of the eight mile range of the Malvern Hills.
