Grade II* 15th‑century Priors Hall with medieval oak roof and historic church tower
Little Malvern Court is a rare, historically important country estate centered on a Grade II* 15th‑century Priors Hall and Romanesque church tower, offered with about 809.51 acres of mixed farmland, pasture, woodland and extensive buildings. The principal house has dramatic medieval interiors, formal gardens, a walled garden, lily ponds and a three‑sided courtyard of stone outbuildings. Productive arable blocks and large, largely ring‑fenced farmsteads (notably Wood Farm) give genuine commercial scale and diversity of income potential.
The estate is well connected for a rural holding: Malvern and Worcester amenities, excellent schools and good motorway and rail links are within easy reach. Important value drivers include the large acreage, multiple residential units (nine additional properties), substantial modern and traditional farm buildings and attractive amenity grounds that support high‑value residential, sporting and agricultural uses.
Buyers should note significant constraints: the principal house is Grade II* listed so alterations will be restricted and specialist maintenance required. Much of the agricultural land is subject to Farm Business Tenancies (majority of land) with a possible end date in 2026, and some buildings and units are let under historic tenancies. Broadband speeds are very slow and heating is oil‑fired with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) in parts. VAT may apply to part of the sale and certain covenants, access licences and SSSI/AONB protections affect future options.
The estate suits a private family seeking an historic and self‑contained country seat, an investor or farmer seeking scale, or a purchaser wishing to retain the Court while reconfiguring other lots. Careful due diligence is essential given listed status, tenancies and environmental designations.
