The Cross, Childswickham, Broadway, Worcestershire, WR12

A BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED GRADE II LISTED 3-BEDROOM THATCHED COTTAGE DATNG BACK TO THE 1700S, SEAMLESSLY BLENDING PERIOD CHARM WITH CONTEMPORARY OPEN-PLAN LIVING, SET WITHIN GENEROUS GARDENS IN A SOUGHT-AFTER VILLAGE LOCATION.

The property offers a wonderful balance of character and modern living, with the original cottage showcasing an abundance of period features including exposed timbers, stonework, and attractive quarry tile and flagstone flooring. The dual aspect sitting room is a particularly inviting space, centred around a striking fireplace fitted with a gas stove, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere.

To the rear, a thoughtfully designed modern extension provides an impressive kitchen/dining/family room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. This light-filled space benefits from two sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the paved terrace, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the garden. The kitchen is well-appointed with a central quartz island, an oven and a microwave oven combination, Stoves induction hob, integral dishwasher, and tiled flooring, complemented by a separate utility room. The ground floor bathroom is stylishly fitted with a roll top slipper bath and a separate shower cubicle. Upstairs, the principal bedroom sits within the extension and enjoys a striking glass gable, along with a contemporary en suite wet room with rainfall shower, while two further double bedrooms complete the accommodation.

The property is set within a generous plot in a desirable position on a no-through road, just moments from St Mary's Church. The gardens are a particular feature, enjoying a high degree of privacy with protected fields to the rear and attractive views towards the church. The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature shrubs and trees, and enhanced by a wrap-around paved terrace and a separate decked seating area.

Additional features include raised beds for growing, a pond, and a charming former piggery, all contributing to the appeal of the outdoor space. A substantial gravel driveway provides ample parking and is accessed via gates, while a detached garage/workshop offers excellent versatility.

Childswickham sits between Bredon and the Cotswold Hills and its history can be traced back to Roman times. The village includes a Norman Church and a Public House. Nearby Broadway, often referred to as the "Jewel of the Cotswolds" offers a wide range of shops and services, whilst Evesham, Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham are the main centres for the region. The latter is generally considered as having some of the best shopping outside London. There is a main line rail service to London Paddington from either Evesham or Moreton-in-Marsh and access to the M5 Junction 9 (Tewkesbury) is about 12 miles away.
