Summary - Hillborough Lane, Bidford-On-Avon, Alcester B50 4LS
4 bed 3 bath Character Property
Sprawling historic estate with gardens, paddocks and riverside setting.
Grade II* listed manor circa 1600 with authentic period features
Hillborough Manor House is an exceptional Grade II* listed country estate dating to circa 1600, set within a private plot of over 13 acres that slopes down to the River Avon. The manor offers enormous principal rooms, original features such as mullion windows, exposed beams and flagstone floors, and complementary outbuildings including traditional stables and a historic dovecote. These elements create a rare, characterful home with strong visual presence and flexible use potential.
The accommodation extends to about 8,260 sq ft and includes a great hall with open fireplace, formal dining hall, rustic kitchen with Aga, cellar with good storage, a mezzanine library/reception and principal suite plus three further bedrooms. Grounds include formal gardens, orchard, paddocks and a detached garage; the estate also benefits from sauna/gym and extensive parking — appealing to those seeking privacy, outdoor space and period authenticity.
Important practical points: the Grade II* listing ensures historical value but will complicate alterations and any conversion of cellar or outbuildings will require listed-building consent. Broadband speeds are very slow and the property will incur very high council tax and ongoing maintenance costs for the substantial house and grounds. Prospective buyers should budget for restoration, specialist maintenance and consents.
This property suits buyers seeking a landmark country estate: families wanting generous, private grounds near top-rated schools, or buyers wanting a high-profile renovation/investment project with clear heritage constraints. The setting between Bidford-on-Avon and Welford-on-Avon offers rural tranquillity with accessible local amenities and strong nearby schooling.
