Bromyard Road, Crown East, WR2

Aymestrey Court, situated in Crown East near Worcester, has a rich history dating back to its construction in 1860. The Victorian mansion was built by Albert Hudson Royds, who acquired the Crown East estate in 1855. The design of the mansion is attributed to William J. Hopkins, the Worcester Diocesan architect at the time. In 1922, the property was sold and transformed into a boys' preparatory school, which operated until its closure in 1997 due to declining enrolment and increasing regulatory constraints. Subsequently, the mansion underwent conversion into residential homes, blending its historical significance with modern living spaces.

Boasting three bath/shower rooms over three floors, this property exudes classic country living charm.
