Whitbourne Hall
Whitbourne Hall stands as a magnificent Grade II* listed Greek revival manor house, meticulously crafted in 1862 by the renowned architect E.W. Elmsie, who also graced the landscape with the iconic Great Malvern railway station. This lavish estate is a quintessential representation of neo-Palladian architecture, distinguished by its commanding six-column portico, an awe-inspiring Palm House and attentively designed gardens that accentuate the allure of the south terrace, Italian garden, kitchen garden and rockery.

Stepping inside reveals interiors of unparalleled grandeur. A majestic atrium captivates with its rare blue and white stained- glass ceiling, while the main reception rooms resonate with the timeless elegance of their original features. In the mid-1990s, the estate underwent a transformation, evolving into 23 distinct properties, yet preserving four original reception rooms. Residents are privileged to utilise these stately rooms for their private gatherings, including an opulent hand-painted drawing room, a formal dining room, morning room and a meticulously fitted library. Additionally, these spaces can be reserved for grand events, adding an extra layer of sophistication.

Residents are subject to a monthly service charge of £289.00, encompassing building insurance, the cleaning and maintenance of communal areas and the upkeep of the grounds, with all figures being accurate as of the quarterly statement dated January 2024.

Furthermore, designated areas are allocated for drying laundry and housing small animals, such as chickens.

Residents have the option to utilise the basement for storage purposes, whether it be as a wine cellar or to house additional household appliances like freezers.

Each household is entitled to parking for two cars and may apply for both an allotment within the walled Victorian kitchen garden and a greenhouse space.

Garaging facilities are available.

The formal rooms can be reserved for external events, capped at a maximum of 10 annually, with revenue generated from these events contributing to The House’s sinking fund.
