High Street, Bewdley, Worcestershire

BACKGROUND

14 High Street has been in the same family for more than 90 years and is now to be sold, under instructions from Executors, in order to close an estate. The property is some 300 years old, having early C-18 origins. It would have probably formed part of a larger property and has been historically sub-divided to create two homes. Namely, the subject property, and also number 15 High Street. Presumably, reflecting the association, numbers 14 and 15 are Grade II Listed together, as from 22 April 1950, under a joint Listing Entry Number. Namely, 1301246, as per the Historic England website. The property also sits with the Bewdley Conservation Area.

HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTE

A defect in the reception hall floor has been boarded over, but in itself, this has created a trip hazard. Therefore, please be aware and mind your step. The property also has steep stairways and is in poor condition throughout. In our view it would not be sensible to take children, or elderly persons, and appropriate clothing, and footwear, should be worn.

AGENTS COMMENTS

Similar opportunities within Bewdley town centre would now be highly infrequent as most homes would have already been long since modernized. The property requires significant renovation, but that said, there is also the opportunity to add to add significantly value too, when pushed to realize its full potential. Restored and re-equipped, it is not at all difficult to imagine an absolute gem of a home in a fabulous location, literally just seconds from all of Bewdley’s plentiful amenities. A really rare and exciting opportunity in one of North Worcestershire’s prettiest and well thought of towns!

LOCATION

Historic Bewdley is an acutely sought after place to live and with special reason. It takes its name from the French words “Beau Lieu” meaning “Beautiful Place” and has been described as the “most perfect small Georgian town in Worcestershire”. This vibrant town is packed with plentiful amenities including a wealth of restaurants/character public houses and is built on the banks of the River Severn, offering a rich and scenic landscape which draws visitors from far and wide the whole year round. Please see the additional photographs illustrating the picturesque general surroundings.
