About this property
Offering breathtaking views towards the River Severn, this stunning Georgian mansion makes a fabulous getaway for larger families or groups of friends enjoying a get-together or celebrating a very special occasion. Providing spacious accommodation for up to twenty guests, the handsome and imposing residence has a wealth of period detail and exquisite features throughout, with an open fire, tasteful furnishings, elegant living spaces and three beautiful acres of surrounding gardens and paddocks.
A characterful hallway leads into this sympathetically updated property and through to a charming drawing room with a traditional open fire and views over the garden. There’s also a cosy snug to unwind in, alongside the spacious, fabulously equipped kitchen. At the heart of the house is the handsome library/dining room providing a superb space for everyone to gather. Exploring this fantastic manor further, you will find a wonderful, light-filled conservatory, and a colourful games/disco room where you can play table tennis and table football. Of the seven bedrooms, one – an en-suite king-size room – is on the ground floor. The six remaining bedrooms are all upstairs, beautifully decorated and stylishly arranged; four of the rooms have en-suite facilities while two share a refreshing shower room. Outside, the extensive lawns are perfect for croquet, badminton, and boules, or you can help yourself to the apples, plums and pears growing in the orchard. The generous terrace has ample garden furniture including a long dining table, lovely seating areas and a soothing hot tub.
