An Enviable Location

Fair View enjoys a highly sought after position along Swinton Lane, one of the city’s best addresses, in the established and leafy neighbourhood of Hanbury Park. The house is positioned directly opposite Worcester Golf & Country Club’s beautiful parkland style course with its manicured greens and majestic mature trees. There’s a great deal on the doorstep including countryside walks, Sainsbury’s in St. John’s, Bennetts Willow Barn Farm Café and Ego Mediterranean Restaurant, while all the attractions of Worcester City Centre itself can be accessed via a leisurely riverside walk. Pitmaston Primary School, rated as ‘Outstanding’ in all areas by Ofsted, is just around the corner, together with highly regarded independent schooling. The M5 and Worcestershire Parkway are a short drive away too.

A Classic First Impression

Set within exceptional mature gardens extending to 0.3 acres, this beautifully presented classic 1930s detached home sits well within its impressive plot.  From the moment you arrive at Fair View, there is an immediate sense of calm and privacy — a home that feels timeless and elegant, with classical proportions enhanced by thoughtful modern touches.

So Welcoming

A charming canopy porch opens into a light-filled and generous reception hall, creating a real sense of arrival and setting the tone for the rest of the house. Finished with Spanish ceramic floor tiling, this welcoming space draws you gently through the home, offering a tantalising glimpse of the beautifully landscaped garden beyond the kitchen / family room.

Traditional features such as walk-in bay windows, picture rails and dado rails sit comfortably alongside tasteful modern additions, including recessed downlighting, Art Deco–style internal doors and chrome ironmongery — a carefully judged balance that respects the home’s heritage while keeping it fresh and current.

Living & Entertaining

The sitting room is a wonderfully restful retreat, flooded with natural light and opening to the rear garden through French doors set within a full-height bay window.  Whether it’s quiet evenings by the fire in winter or relaxed weekends with the doors thrown open in summer, this is a room that adapts beautifully to every season, with the fireplace providing a cosy focal point.

Complementing this is the separate dining room, a well-proportioned and versatile space ideal for entertaining, family meals or simply curling up with a book.  From here, there’s another lovely outlook — this time across the enclosed front garden, thoughtfully designed with specimen trees and neatly clipped Yew hedging to create a sense of privacy and year-round structure.

The Heart of the Home

At the centre of the house lies the kitchen / family room — a sociable practical space designed very much with modern living in mind.  Fully integrated Neff appliances sit neatly within elegant Laura Ashley in-frame cabinetry, arranged around a central island with a breakfast bar and a quartz work surface.

Hand-built American White Ash wall cupboards and display shelving with inset spotlights add mellow warmth and character to this cleverly designed kitchen.  With direct access to the garden, the space works effortlessly for both everyday family life and entertaining. A utility room, understairs cupboard and cloakroom, ensure the home is as functional as it is beautiful.

And So to Bed…

Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged around a light and airy landing, comprising three delightful bedrooms, each enjoying leafy views to the outside and a sense of privacy.  These are served by a smartly appointed shower room, refitted to a high specification in 2018 — crisp, contemporary and quietly luxurious.

For the Green-Fingered

The gardens are, quite simply, a standout feature — generous, established and wonderfully private, with mature planting providing colour, structure and interest throughout the seasons.  

To the frontage, a low brick wall and Yew hedging create privacy and a sense of tradition. Mature planting, a majestic Cedar tree and a neat front lawn provide an attractive setting, while the driveway offers off-road parking and access to the garage with its pretty 1930s style folding timber door.

The beautiful rear garden unfolds in a series of thoughtfully designed sections, each framed by hedging and a number of specimen trees including Magnolias, Silver Birches, Blue Atlas Cedars, Beeches, Pines and a striking London Plane.

Planting includes a carefully curated mix of evergreen and deciduous shrubs, alongside David Austin roses, creating texture and seasonal variation.  Mains-powered garden lighting allows the views to be enjoyed long into the evening, adding atmosphere all year round.

The Practicalities

The property benefits from all mains services, gas-fired central heating to radiators, uPVC double glazing, as well as modernised electrics and plumbing throughout.

Room to Grow

If required, Fair View offers considerable potential for extension (subject to the planning), given the size of the plot and the space surrounding the house.

In Summary

An elegant, immaculately finished home in one of Worcester’s most desirable residential locations, Fair View offers classic 1930s charm, a layout which flows brilliantly and generous mature gardens - a home that feels comfortable, stylish and easy to live in.
