The double-sided fireplace connects this room to the living space, creating a warm and sociable layout for entertaining.

The layout provides flexibility for multiple seating areas and entertainment zones, all positioned to make the most of the outlook.

The hallway and cloakroom
A bright and welcoming reception hall lies at the centre of the home, laid with polished tile flooring and lit by natural light from the part-glazed front door. A conveniently positioned cloakroom is located off the main hallway, with WC and wash basin in a smart tiled finish.

An en suite compliments this generous room. This private en suite features a corner shower cubicle, WC and wash basin, with tiled surrounds and a side-facing window for ventilation and light.

The chalet
Tucked away within the lower garden, this charming timber chalet provides a valuable and flexible addition to the property. With its own kitchen, shower room, living space and sleeping area, it offers ideal accommodation for family members, guests or those needing occasional independent space. It also benefits from a large covered veranda with uninterrupted river views, creating a peaceful and private retreat within the grounds.

The gardens
The beautifully landscaped gardens are a true highlight of this remarkable property, offering an exceptional outdoor living experience with panoramic views across the River Severn towards the Malvern Hills. The upper garden is laid mainly to lawn and bordered by a generous paved terrace that spans the width of the house, ideal for entertaining or enjoying the far-reaching views.

Beyond the terrace, a gentle slope leads down to a series of beautifully planted tiers. Here, meandering pathways wind through dense shrubbery, established trees, and ornamental planting, providing a sense of complete privacy and immersion in nature. Midway down the garden sits the charming chalet-style outbuilding with a covered veranda and striking river views.

Lower down, steps lead through a lush, wooded section of the plot to an open area by the riverbank. The property itself does not include ownership of the river frontage; however, there is a private gate providing access to the river path and a platform on the water’s edge which has been used historically. This area could potentially be claimed or formally acquired, subject to the relevant permissions. At the front of the home, a fully enclosed walled garden offers a more sheltered and secluded area. Altogether, this garden offers a rare combination of privacy, space and natural beauty.

The driveway and parking
The property sits on the end of a gated private road, shared with only a couple of other properties. The wide brick-paved driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. The integral double garage is accessed via an electric roller door and offers parking or storage for two vehicles. There is additional space for tools or a workbench if required. From here there is direct access to the pantry, which leads into the kitchen.
