Plum Cottage Floor Plans

"A beautifully extended country cottage with light-filled interiors, a separate guest suite and open views from the garden"

The Property

Plum Cottage is an individual country home tucked away along a quiet lane in Hanley Castle, within easy reach of Great Malvern and the surrounding Worcestershire countryside. Extended and carefully styled by its current owners, the house combines the character of the original cottage with a light-filled contemporary addition and flexible accommodation arranged across two floors.

The entrance hall sits at the centre of the ground floor, connecting the principal rooms and providing a welcoming introduction to the house.

The kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home. Extending to more than thirty feet, this impressive open plan space has been designed around cooking, gathering and entertaining. A central island provides generous preparation space and a natural place for guests to sit, while additional cabinetry runs along one wall.

Rooflights and broad bi-fold doors draw natural light into the room, opening the interior directly onto the terrace and garden during the warmer months. There is ample room for a substantial dining table alongside more informal seating, creating a sociable setting for everyday family life and larger occasions.

The sitting room provides a more intimate retreat at the front of the house. A wood-burning stove creates a warm focal point, complemented by a bay window and a considered mix of colour, pattern and natural materials.

A separate study offers useful flexibility as a home office, reading room or snug, with glazed doors connecting it to the kitchen and dining space.

Also on the ground floor is a generous double bedroom with its own en suite shower room. This arrangement is particularly well suited to guests, multigenerational living or buyers seeking the option of predominantly single-storey accommodation.

Upstairs, two further double bedrooms are arranged beneath the roofline, both with fitted storage and countryside outlooks. A contemporary shower room serves the first-floor accommodation.

The main house and detached guest suite extend to approximately 1,981 sq ft in total.

Externally

Plum Cottage is approached over a gravel driveway providing parking for several vehicles, together with vehicular access along the side of the house.

Bi-fold doors open from the kitchen and dining room onto a paved terrace, creating an easy connection between the principal living space and the garden. Beyond, the garden is predominantly laid to level lawn, offering scope for further planting, play space or more structured landscaping.

At the far end of the garden, a covered bar and seating area makes the most of the outlook across the neighbouring fields. It provides a memorable place for summer evenings, drinks with friends and time outdoors as the sun goes down.

A detached outbuilding is currently arranged as a guest suite. The accommodation includes an open bedroom and living space, a galley kitchen and a bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower.

This versatile building could continue as guest accommodation or suit a range of alternative uses, including a studio, office, leisure room or garaging, subject to any necessary permissions.
