An impressive Grade II listed country house, The Dower House sits in an elevated, peaceful spot in the Teme Valley with about 9.55 acres of landscaped grounds, orchards, paddocks and a wildlife pond. The main house has been fully refurbished while retaining rich 17th‑century character — exposed beams, panelled rooms, inglenook fireplace and decorative fireplaces — arranged over three floors for flexible family living.
The accommodation includes a dual‑aspect sitting room with inglenook and woodburner, a spacious breakfast kitchen with a four‑oven Aga and separate range, principal bedroom suite with luxury en suite, plus five further bedrooms across the first and second floors. A detached, well‑appointed three‑bedroom lodge offers independent living or rental potential, ideal for multi‑generational households.
Practical features include oil‑fired boiler heating, modern double glazing, ample parking, off‑street turning and strong mobile and broadband connectivity for rural standards. The grounds provide extensive scope for riding, equestrian or other country pursuits and include a Jacuzzi hot tub and sauna for leisure.
Important considerations: listed status will restrict some works and may cause delays or extra costs for alterations. The property uses a shared private drainage system which may require updating; purchasers should factor potential replacement costs into offers. Heating runs on oil and council tax is high, reflecting the property's size and tax banding.
