Summary - WORSLEY HOUSE, WORCESTER, ABBERLEY WR6 6BS
About 57.3 acres of pasture, paddocks and meadow
Worsley House is an impressive late-15th-century country residence set in about 57.3 acres of pasture, paddocks and meadow. The house offers more than 3,000 sq ft of characterful accommodation across multiple reception rooms, five bedrooms and cellar space, with striking timber framing, exposed beams and large open fireplaces. Substantial stone and brick outbuildings, including garaging and barn storage, sit close by and could support agricultural use, stabling or potential ancillary development subject to consents.
The property is best suited to buyers seeking a significant rural estate or a renovation project with historic interest. The house requires renovation throughout, presenting an opportunity to sensitively update services and living spaces while retaining period character. The grounds and outbuildings make the site attractive for smallholding, equestrian uses or an owner-occupier wanting extensive privacy and countryside views.
Buyers should note clear practical constraints: the property runs on oil-fired heating, has private water and drainage (the drainage may not comply with current regulations), and solid brick walls likely lack modern insulation. Broadband speeds are very slow and there is no mobile signal on site; access is via a single-track lane nearly a mile from the public road. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors mean renovation costs and ongoing running considerations should be factored into any offer.
For the right purchaser, Worsley House combines genuine historic fabric, spacious accommodation and extensive land in a secluded Worcestershire setting. It will particularly suit those prepared to invest in refurbishment and to manage a large rural estate or diversify the outbuildings subject to planning.
