The space
Welcome to our luxurious and peaceful home in the Worcestershire countryside. The Pig-Sty, a genuine one, was converted in 1983. It is situated in the rural village of Birlingham. It has a Village-Only road so no through traffic. There is no pollution, you can see the stars at night and hear the birdsong. There has been little housing development during the last forty years.

Tucked away by the River Avon it is amazing how close it is to major road links. Stratford-upon-Avon and a visit to the theatre is memorable, Racing at Cheltenham and Worcester has been enjoyed by many. Shopping at Cheltenham and Birmingham is special and concerts at the Birmingham Symphony Hall. Pershore is only three miles away and has it's cinema and theatre. There are lots of high quality eateries and pubs nearby for everyone to enjoy.

The cottage faces south and overlooks the spacious garden with uninterrupted views across the River Avon to Bredon Hill. The sunset over the Malvern hills to the west can be spectacular. Historic cottages surround the Pig-Sty the neighboring cottage being the oldest in the village.

The open plan downstairs is offers uninterrupted views across the garden to Bredon Hill. It comprises a large fully-equipped kitchen with all the appliances you could need including an induction hob, conventional oven and microwave/oven fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. The dining area is on the west side with doors opening onto an outside covered area w giving the opportunity for sheltered outside eating. There is a table and chairs. In the dining area is a new wood burner given additional heating and making the property feel really special. In the sitting area there are two three seater sofas and two comfy armchairs giving plenty of seating to watch the TV which is situated on the wall. There are windows all round, with bifold doors opening onto patios. Also downstairs is a double bedroom with an exceptionally large en-suite shower room.

Moving upstairs, the main bedroom has a king size bed, the room has cupboards on the galleried landing, which leads to a large family bathroom/dressing room.

At the end is the twin bedroom with low single beds. The unique windows give fantastic views and the room can also be used as a relaxing place for a coffee or an evening drink watching the amazing sunsets.

Moving outside, the garden is enclosed with the original black iron fencing. It has been designed by Patrick Swan who is now the National Trust consultant for Wales and the South West of England. There is plenty of room for children to play. It is a cottage for garden lovers, with fresh herbs by the door and a sitting area amongst the shrubs. Within the garden is a rare Gingko tree planed 40 years ago.

We look forward to welcoming you to our cosy country property in Birlingham, Worcestershire!
