St. Josephs Cottage, Harewell Lane, Besford, Worcestershire,WR8 9AT

Besford Village gained its name from the first tenants under the Beauchamp family who lived at
Madresfield Court in Malvern and had a large estate, which included Besford Court, and the
properties they built in the surrounding area. St Josseph’s Cottage, initially, was the village shop
with bakery, which still exists behind the Cottage, built in 1885. Subsequently, the cottage has
been extended in the last 50 years and now provides a characterful period cottage, set in its own
grounds, with front driveway, allowing off-road parking and a modern detached garage, with loft
conversion to provide a home office with its own separate access. The cottage has good sized
rooms and period features together with double glazing and useful ground floor bathroom and a
separate cloakroom. There is access from the living room, up to bedroom one, which has an
accessible balcony overlooking the landscaped garden and an En-suite. There are three further
bedrooms, with a further En-suite and a family bathroom. There is the main stairway to the first
floor off the living room.
Outside the property, there is private drainage, and a landscaped garden, which was created some
years ago, with water feature, ponds and an island, accessed over a foot bridge. There are sitting
areas within the garden and a raised summer house, which has a stage like effect as a centre
piece to this wonderful garden.
This is a predominantly farming area, with Besford Court across the fields, there are converted
barns in the area and a picturesque village church and Church Farm House with its serpentine
wall. The town of Pershore is approximately 4 miles distance and there is easy access to the M5
