The Rag House is situated on the outskirts of the thriving riverside town of Upton upon Severn and is ideally situated for exploring the wealth that Worcestershire has to offer. The historic and thriving town is less than a mile distance and offers a wonderful range of independent shops, supermarkets, schooling, churches, community hospital, library and leisure facilities. There are numerous cultural festivals throughout the year, and these include Jazz, Blues, Folk and Water festivities and you are at the heart of the British Waterways network with a first class marina close by. The cathedral cities of both Worcester (10 miles) Gloucester (22 miles) and Hereford (27 miles) being within easy commuting distance. Excellent rail links to Birmingham New Street and to London Paddington will be found via Worcester whilst access to the motorway network, via junction 2 of the M50, is approximately 4 miles distance.
The Rag House is believed to date back to 1764 in part and has been extended throughout the 19th and 20th centuries to provide a spacious and versatile family home. The entrance hall is central to the property and has quarry tile styled flooring. The kitchen / breakfast room is a fantastic space. There is an array of fitted units fronted in country cream wood which are complemented by oak work surfacing. There is a free standing stainless steel range style double oven with gas hob and plenty of space for an American style fridge freezer and table and chairs for more informal dining. Italian ceramic slate effect flooring runs through from the kitchen into the conservatory, which has underfloor heating and is adjoined to the kitchen, creating a wonderful sense of flow. The utility room is incorporated into the cloakroom and has units identical to those found in the kitchen. There is space for a washing machine or tumble drier. From the hallway you enter into the snug which is the oldest original part of the property. This is evident in the exposed beams and timbers, creating a warm and inviting room to enjoy music or read quietly. The living room is large and bright with double windows allowing natural daylight to flood in, and from here you have access to the office/study that would allow you to have a home office or indeed allow the children to have their own playroom. The dining room flows from the living room and can be accessed from either end by two steps up into ample space to allow for a large formal entertaining area, again the age and charm of the property continues, particularly as the room is dominated by the open fire set within a fantastic recessed exposed brick inglenook fireplace and flows out through the rear doorway which allows your guests to extend out onto the terrace to enjoy the surrounding gardens. From the entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms. The master benefits from having a separate shower room with basin and wc and double aspect windows, out of which you can fully appreciate the magnificent Malvern Hills. Whilst bedroom two also has a wash hand basin, character beams and feature dorma windows at either side of the room. There is a family bathroom with wood panelling to dado rail height, white bath suite in keeping with the style of the property and part of the landing has been fitted out with built-in storage cupboards and deep shelving. The remaining two bedrooms are large in size and all benefit from plenty of natural daylight and character features, whether it be the low ceilings, built in closets, original recessed fireplaces that may be adapted to use as study space or storage. A loft room can be accessed from a loft ladder on the landing and has been laid with a solid floor and with natural daylight again makes for easy storage space.
The Rag House benefits from having wrap around gardens. To the rear of the property, a terrace runs along the length of the back of the house and as it flows directly from the dining room makes a fantastic entertaining space. From the driveway you pass through a dry garden under a pergola that has a superb specimen of clematis and rose growing, leading to side onto which the sun room opens onto a formal ornamental lawned garden where lies an apple tree and a vine grows over a second pergola leading through to the soft fruit and vegetable garden. There is a traditional greenhouse, and original outhouses that now offer storage for garden paraphernalia and at the furthest most point of the garden is a large open sloping lawn. An irrigation system is in place to ensure watering and maintaining these beautiful areas is as easy as possible. A large detached double garage leads you back to the driveway that gives access from the adjoining lane to off road parking for several vehicles.
