Description

The Ridings is a splendidly positioned detached barn conversion in a popular and highly regarded location close to Castlemorton and the village of Welland.

It occupies a semi-rural position and one of its key selling points is it proximity to open farmland and offering far reaching views to the Malvern Hills.

The property is set in generous grounds extending to approximately 0.5 acres and is approached via a private driveway leading past a lawned foregarden to an area that allows for ample parking for vehicles and gives access to the double garage.

Set under a veranda storm porch with a pitched tiled roof and sensored light point is an obscure glazed wooden front door that opens to the accommodation that is generous in size and extends to over 2,000 sq. ft.

The accommodation is over two floors and offers characterful features and dates back to the 1700's and was converted in the 1980's when it was split from the original farmhouse and buildings. The present owner purchased the property in 2002.
