The Hurst, Cleobury Mortimer, Kidderminster, Shropshire

This striking former school building offers a rare opportunity to acquire a unique character home steeped in history. Retaining many original Gothic-style features, the property boasts impressive stonework, arched windows, exposed beams and spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. Set in a private position behind wrought-iron gates, it enjoys mature gardens, generous parking and the benefit of versatile outbuildings.

The property is entered via a welcoming hallway which leads into the main living room. This charming space is arranged on split levels, with exposed timber beams overhead and a feature brick fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. Steps rise to the kitchen area, which is fitted with traditional units, work surfaces and space for appliances. From the kitchen, a door opens into the formal dining room – a spacious and elegant reception area with wood flooring, a period fireplace and a decorative spiral staircase leading to the first floor. This room is ideal for entertaining and enjoys views over the gardens.

The landing provides access to three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned, with attractive arched windows and exposed roof timbers adding character. The further two bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, family or home office use. A family bathroom and a separate WC complete the accommodation on this level.

The property is approached through wrought-iron gates opening to a gravelled driveway providing ample parking. The gardens are beautifully planted with an abundance of colourful flowers, shrubs and established trees, creating a delightful, private setting. Two useful outbuildings offer excellent storage or workshop space, with potential for a variety of uses subject to any necessary consents.
