The Cottage - A beautifully presented, three-bedroom detached cottage in the heart of Astwood Bank, Redditch. Combining characterful touches with a thoughtfully extended layout designed for modern living, this home offers a welcoming lounge, an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, a private rear garden, driveway parking and a versatile detached garden office. With its balanced living space and dedicated working-from-home provision, this is an excellent choice for first-time buyers, professional couples or a young family seeking a distinctive village home with everyday amenities and transport connections close by.
Upon entering, the hallway creates a warm and inviting first impression, with natural wood flooring and a staircase rising to the first-floor accommodation.
The lounge sits at the front of the property and is a well-proportioned reception room, with a bay window drawing in plenty of natural light. A feature fireplace and exposed brickwork introduce a sense of character, making this a comfortable space in which to relax at the end of the day.
To the rear, the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. The kitchen is arranged with a generous selection of fitted units, contrasting work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances, while an exposed timber beam adds warmth and personality. There is ample room for a dining area, creating a sociable setting for everyday meals, entertaining and family gatherings.
The room continues into a bright family area beneath a large roof lantern, with glazed doors opening directly onto the garden. This additional living space creates an easy connection between indoors and outside and gives the ground floor a particularly flexible layout, equally suited to quiet mornings, relaxed weekends and time spent with friends.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to three bedrooms and the shower room. The master bedroom is a comfortable double room and benefits from direct access to the shower room. The second bedroom is another well-proportioned double, while the third bedroom would work equally well as a child’s room, guest bedroom or additional study.
The shower room is fitted with a generous enclosed shower, wash basin and WC, with a light, neutral finish.
Outside, the property has driveway parking to the front, while gated side access leads through to the private rear garden. The south-westerly facing garden is enclosed by fencing and established boundaries, with a lawn, paved seating area and a pathway running towards the far end. Its manageable proportions make it an appealing space for outdoor dining, summer evenings and relaxed weekends without creating an excessive maintenance commitment.
At the end of the garden is a detached office, offering a valuable and highly versatile additional room away from the main house. Currently arranged workshop, it could also suit creative pursuits, exercise, hobbies or general storage, subject to the needs of the next owner.
