Detached property offering huge potential on 4.21 acres situated on the edge of the popular village of Great Witley

** For sale by online auction (subject to sale prior, reserve and conditions) **

Description 

Ebor House was built in the late 1800s to early 1900s and has been in the same family since the 1970s. Part timber framed, it offers a huge opportunity for a prospective purchaser to create a stunning home of their dreams. The property sits in its own grounds which wrap around all sides and has the most wonderful views from every aspect. Although needing a high degree of renovation and modernisation, it is still a very pretty property. The interior of the property has many original features including windows, beams, staircase and fireplaces. Ebor House currently has deceptively spacious accommodation with two front reception rooms, each having fireplaces, a rear dining room with a large Inglenook fireplace and kitchen. Off the kitchen there is a traditional pantry and a laundry room which can be accessed from the outside of the property. The stairs rise up to the spacious landing which has a window. There are three excellently proportioned double bedrooms, one having a dressing room off which could be converted into en suite facilities. Off the landing is a further small room/dressing room which again could be converted into an en-suite to bedroom 2. The generous bathroom and WC are currently separate.  

Situation 

Ebor House is located on the edge of the very popular village of Great Witley. The village has a flourishing community with everyday amenities including a primary school, doctor’s surgery with dispensary, baroque church, village hall with pre-school, store/post office, petrol station with ATM, multi-sports pitch and of course, the stunning Witley Court. Great Witley falls within catchment for the highly regarded Chantry High School in Martley. The surrounding countryside is criss-crossed with numerous footpaths to include the Worcestershire Way and there are a number of award-winning public houses in the surrounding villages. More extensive shopping and leisure facilities can be found in Worcester, together with an excellent range of independent schools. For the commuter there is easy access to the M5 motorway network at Junction 5 along with railway stations in Worcester, Droitwich and Kidderminster. 

Outside 

Ebor House sits in 4.21 acres of grounds with a pedestrian gate from Worcester Road leading to the front door and a separate five bar gate which opens onto the driveway which leads up to the side of the property. The oak framed timber clad barn provides further potential as does the brick built outbuilding with the necessary planning permission.
