Fir Tree Cottage is situated in the rural village of Bromsberrow Heath which has a village stores and Post Office. There is a primary school in Bromsberrow with senior schools in Newent and Tewkesbury. The historic market town of Ledbury, 4 miles, has a range of independent shops, leisure facilities, restaurants and supermarkets. The Cathedral Cities of Gloucester (13 miles), Hereford (19 miles) and Worcester (20 miles) are within easy commuting distance and the beautiful Regency Town of Cheltenham is just 21 miles away. Stunning scenery and opportunities for sporting and walking activities can be found in the surrounding area including the spectacular Malvern Hills 12 miles distant. There are excellent transport links nearby with Junction 2 of the M50 around 1 mile away, and rail links from Ledbury directly to London Paddington and Birmingham New Street.

Fir Tree Cottage is a charming red brick property which was originally two Victorian worker's cottages built in 1846. Retaining many original features, a programme of renovation has been started and there is now scope for the prospective purchaser to create a lovely home. From the hall, with hanging space for coats, is the large kitchen/breakfast room with exposed beams, quarry tiled floor and an attractive feature brick fireplace with a solid fuel cream Rayburn. This is a lovely light room with a door leading out to the garden and the benefit of a shelved larder. The kitchen has wood worktops resting on painted brick dividing walls which have spaces for cooker, fridge, dishwasher shelving and baskets. The dining room has a view out to the garden and stairs leading to the first floor. The sitting room also has a quarry tiled floor and an open fireplace with tiled surround and hearth. On the ground floor is the bathroom with tiled shower, period style high cistern and free standing roll top bath. Upstairs, the master bedroom is a lovely character room with built in shelving in the recess and a door into the dressing room which could equally be used as a third bedroom or, with advice and permission, possibly an en-suite. A further bedroom has the original ornamental grate fireplace and at either end of the first floor are small rooms under the eaves, one of which is used as a study and the other as a large airing cupboard.

Fir Tree Cottage is approached through a double gate onto the parking area. A path leads down to the large garden at the rear which is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area ideal for sitting out. This is a fantastic garden for those wishing to grow their own produce and the basic structures have been provided such as the greenhouse and soft fruit area at the bottom of the garden and the beginnings of a good size vegetable plot to the side. A further area of lawn to the side of the property has attractive herbaceous borders and a recently planted row of fruit trees. To the front of the property is a delightful mix of old brick and gravel areas with lovely cottage garden borders and two pedestrian gates with metal arches over and climbing scented plants. Outbuildings adjoin the house, two of which have brick flooring, power and light. One is used as a store and utility with plumbing for washing machine and the other is a workshop. There is also a log store. Planning permission, which expired 2009, had been granted for two link attached 4 bedroom houses.
