A very well presented, upgraded timber chalet with spectacular front row views across the surrounding Severn Valley countryside, together with the benefit of permanent residential occupancy.

Merryhurst enjoys views over from the Wyre Forest countryside from this front row elevated position at Hill Farm, a delightfully situated rural community located just over two miles from the centre of Bewdley nestling amidst the glorious Severn Valley countryside and approached over a long no through road country lane running between the River Severn and the SVR steam railway line before ending near Trimpley Reservoir.

The accommodation has been improved by the present owners and offers well proportioned living space with an excellent lounge (18ft x 17ft6 max) featuring full width bay window providing the most impressive views and double doors opening out to the full width timber decked split-level patio.

The room also features a low level w and walk-in cubicle with rainfall mixer shower and hand attachment plus chrome heated towel rail.

To the rear of the property, the extensive decked area includes a summer house with power and lighting, providing a most pleasant all weather space from which to enjoy the gardens. A gateway leads down to a lower hard landscaped garden area with slate chippings interspersed with shrubs.
