Perched in the village of Colwall in Worcestershire, is this large, three-bedroom bungalow, Stubb Oak. Boasting a fantastic location within the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, large, enclosed gardens with adjoining fields and woodland and a contemporary interior, Stubb Oak makes for a wonderful pet-friendly dwelling for a group or family of six, plus their two canine companions who are looking to explore this beautiful area. Park up on the driveaway with ample off-road parking available, before unloading your bags and taking in your peaceful surroundings. Step into the property, where you will come into a handy utility room which houses a washing machine and tumble dryer, ideal for keeping your holiday wardrobe fresh! Be welcomed into the sitting room, where you can look forward to family movie nights in front of the TV with Freeview and Blu Ray DVD player, as you snuggle up in the warmth of the electric woodburning stove. When you start to feel peckish, make your way into the open-plan kitchen, where you can rustle up culinary delights with the help of the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, along with a handy dishwasher for fuss-free clean-ups! Settle down at the dining table for six to tuck-in to a delicious meal, or if the weather is nice, why not take advantage and dine alfresco out in the large, enclosed garden where your four-legged friend can stretch their legs. When the evening cools, retreat inside to the additional sitting room where you can also enjoy your favourite shows on the TV with Freeview. When sleep calls, retire to one of three well-presented bedrooms, a king-size, a double and a twin, each with plenty of storage for your belongings. Wake-up tired eyes with a refreshing shower or indulgent soak in the bath, before savouring your morning coffee out in the enclosed garden, followed by a walk in the woodland. Explore the local village where you will find the welcoming Colwall Park Hotel, Bar & Restaurant, where you can treat your loved ones to an evening out and yourself to a night off from the kitchen, along with a well-stocked convenience store where you can pick-up your favourite ingredients to cook in the comfort of Stubb Oak. If you’re looking for a leisurely stroll, Colwall offers a good selection of beautiful gardens, including the Lugg’s Mill Orchard and the Colwall Village Garden, as well as the Charlie Ballard Nature Reserve where you can explore and spot the local wildlife. For the keen anglers in your party, there is the nearby The Fishponds, which offers well-stocked fishing ponds and an idyllic spot for finding your catch of the day. If fishing isn’t your thing, why not test out your clubs at one of the oldest golf courses in the country? Walkers will have found their haven with the Malvern Hills, which offers scenic walking trails through hills and woodlands and some of the best views in the area! For a taste of city life, head over to Worcester, where you will find the superb National Trust sites of The Firs: Elgar’s Birthplace and Greyfriars House and Garden, as well as a excellent selection of museums, including The Commandery, which houses civil war exhibits in a medieval building. For an unforgettable stay in Worcestershire, choose Stubb Oak.
