9 Seller Insight When the present owners, Ron and Sue, discovered the bungalow, it was in need of some refurbishment. This presented them with a welcome project and they worked with great care and attention to detail, creating a modern and restful home. The superb location, with panoramic views across the rolling countryside, to the Malvern Hills, gives St Margaret s a definite wow factor. Ron explains that they live in a tranquil oasis, where the world feels miles away. However they are in no way isolated, as they can walk the dog into pretty Besford village, and are less than two miles from picturesque, market town of Pershore Pershore has an abundance of shops and restaurants, whilst Worcester, Malvern and Cheltenham are within easy reach. The bungalow is perfect for the commuter as it is within easy reach of Junctions six and seven of the M5 motorway, and there is a direct rail service from Pershore, into London Paddington. St Margaret s provides a perfect balance of town and country living. The main lounge is a centre for unwinding and casting off the stress of the day. The room works at different times of day and year, whether you are curled up with a book in front of the roaring log fire, or sitting with the sun streaming in. The second lounge works well as a man cave, for watching TV sport or simply chilling out. St Margaret s is a hospitable house and the dining area can seat up to sixteen guests for festive occasions, whilst five bedrooms means overnight visitors are easily accommodated. The large garden is a joyful area of orchard, lawns and colour. It is a much loved space and with countryside on three borders, it is very much part of the landscape. For Sue the best way to appreciate the garden is to walk its perimeter. It is a pleasurable past time where you spot the lovely unfolding of spring flowers in the wild flower section, see a mighty stag wandering through the neighbouring field or spot an owl or a badger. There is always something exciting to see.*

10 For Ron and Sue the bungalow is a happy, friendly and welcoming home, where the family have enjoyed relaxing and entertaining. The well equipped, streamlined kitchen is the busy hub of the house; and flooded with natural light, it is a sociable and positive space. The patio doors and windows allow a wide view into the garden, and when you sit at the breakfast bar, the antics of the myriad bird and wild life in the garden will keep you entertained. Ron says that it is a wonderful time waster and also very relaxing.

12 The windows are a key to the charm of this home, as they afford the most stunning views across the landscape. To watch the changing seasons cast their magic over the countryside and to see the dramatic hues of the distant Malvern Hills is pure enchantment.

13 Ron and Sue are going to miss St Margaret s and particularly the views, the wildlife and the immense tranquillity. They are moving to be closer to their children but take away very many happy memories.

14 First Floor The master bedroom occupies the full space of the top floor and has a spacious dressing area with fitted wardrobes. There is a full en-suite with a separate shower, bath, vanity unit and WC. There is a large attic room which could easily be converted to create a further bedroom suite.
