Snowshill Road, Broadway, Worcestershire, WR12

An important and charming Grade II* Listed house with outstanding gardens and magnificent views.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Constructed around 1600 as the gatehouse to Broadway Court, which was later demolished, The Court stands as a Grade II* Listed architectural gem, recognised for its historical significance. The renowned Cotswold architect, Sir Guy Dawber, oversaw an extensive restoration and expansion at the turn of the 20th Century. Crafted from the warm hues of Cotswold stone, complemented by a traditional stone roof, the property boasts many period features including attractive mullion windows adorned with leaded lights. Having undergone substantial renovation, The Court has been modernised by the current owners to a very high standard - ensuring a harmonious blend of historic charm and contemporary comfort.

GARDEN & GROUNDS
Designed by the world-acclaimed landscape designer, horticulturist, and writer Dan Pearson, the enchanting gardens are nestled in a private sanctuary behind a stone wall, bordered on one side by an impressive topiary yew tunnel. Within the formal gardens are well-stocked herbaceous borders, a kitchen garden with raised beds and fruit cages, a parterre and an extensive south-facing lawn. The gardens offer breath-taking views of the gently rolling Cotswold countryside, adjacent to the historic Norman church of St. Eadburgha’s. A small stream runs along the western end of the lawn, leading to two paddocks accessible from a nearby lane. One of these paddocks has a beautiful wildlife lake.
