Description
Little Broadfields Farm is believed to date back almost three hundred years when it was originally a half timbered black and white farm workers' cottage. In more recent times it has been altered and extended and now offers generous family accommodation which includes a hall, kitchen/breakfast room, drawing room, study (which can double as a fourth bedroom), three bedrooms (one with its own en suite dressing room) and a bathroom with shower and WC. The heating system is currently not in working order and needs upgrading. Most windows are double glazed.
Undoubtedly one of the great strengths of Little Broadfields Farm is its setting in almost six acres of garden and pasture land bordered by Corey's Brook. From its commanding position there are wonderful views across the Worcestershire countryside towards the Malvern Hills in the distance. Within the curtilage there is off road parking for several vehicles and a number of small outbuildings mainly of timber construction.
