A two-bedroom cottage in a very poor state of repair is on the market – but its location means it comes at a cost. The Church Lench-based home has a price tag of £175,000 but is in serious need of some TLC.
Agents Nigel Poole & Partners, say the cottage on Malthouse Lane is believed to be constructed in the late 16th or early 17th century. They add: “It is in poor state of repair. It is intended to restore and extend the former dwelling back as a new home with the poorly constructed garage being demolished.”
“The replacement side extension provides an open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area along with a bedroom with en-suite on the ground floor, and the new subservient rear extension provides a staircase access to the first floor, where another bedroom and en-suite are located.”

Pictures show the home in a very poor state, with greenery growing on the roof and ivy covering it. The back garden is overgrown, and rubble is left in the cottage.
With Zoople stating properties in the same road going for more than twice this value, you can bag yourself a slice of the beautiful Worcestershire village life for a bargain, with a little bit of work to be carried out.
With a village hall, pre school, the Lenches Club and lakes and the 12th century church of All Saints all in the village, the property is nestled in the gorgeous village landscape.
