Location & Description
The property enjoys a quiet setting close to the centre of the highly regarded village of Alfrick close to the Herefordshire border with Worcestershire and approximately six miles from Great Malvern, eight miles from the City of Worcester and just seven miles from Bromyard. The village itself has a community hall, a charming church and shop, the Fox Inn at nearby Lulsley and two nature/wildlife reserves. There are also local bus services to provide access to local primary schools at Suckley and Leigh Sinton and secondary schools in Malvern and Worcester.

Transport and communications are good. Junction 7 of the M5 motorway south of Worcester is within reasonable striking distance and there are mainline railway stations in both Great Malvern and Worcester. The village is not only surrounded by the two nature reserves referred to earlier but also by some of the most unspoilt countryside in the region. It is the perfect spot for anyone who enjoys outdoor life, walking or riding.
Wheatley House is a superbly positioned detached property location on a 'no through road' in the popular and much sought after village of Alfrick.

It is approached via a shared driveway through double wooden gates set between brick pillars this driveway branches to the left where the private parking for the property is positioned and gives access to an integral double garage.

The house is wonderfully situated, set back behind a lawned foregarden with planted beds and to the other side of the driveway is a further lawned area owned by the property.

A pedestrian gate leads from the lane set between hedged perimeters to a paved pedestrian path leading to the front door which opens to the accommodation that is in need of updating but does benefit from double glazing and LPG central heating.

The accommodation is in excess of 1700 sq feet and there is potential (subject to the relevant permissions being sought) for further development.
