Grade II listed Tudor former farmhouse with authentic timber framing
A rare Grade II listed former farmhouse set in about 1.6 acres, this substantial Tudor house combines authentic period character with large-scale space and conversion potential. The principal house (circa 4,330 sq ft) includes six bedrooms, six reception rooms and three bathrooms, plus an attached two-storey barn that could form a self-contained annexe. A separate detached two-storey barn (approx. 2,400 sq ft) and various outbuildings give scope for home business use, hobby workshops or further conversion subject to listed-building and planning constraints.
The grounds are private and extensive, with attractive mature lawns, an orchard, vegetable garden, ponds and an outdoor swimming pool. Practical features include off-street parking and turning on a large gravelled area, fast FTTP broadband and convenient road and rail links — Worcester city centre is about three miles away, with good access to the M5 and Worcestershire Parkway.
Notable constraints are factual: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and will cause additional costs and consenting requirements. Services are largely traditional — oil-fired central heating, Aga, private water supply and private drainage via septic tank and soakaway — and maintenance of a historic, timber-framed building and large grounds will be ongoing. There is shared access with three barn conversions and a separate farm access for farm traffic.
This house suits an owner seeking a substantial country home with character and space — a family wanting flexible accommodation, someone seeking an annexe for relatives, or a buyer with an interest in sympathetic conversion. It is not a turnkey modern house: budget for listed-property upkeep, possible planning work and higher council tax when considering purchase.
