Lax Lane, Bewdley, DY12 2DZ

Perfectly positioned within easy reach of Bewdley’s thriving town centre, this end-terrace two-bedroom home presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a property in a prime location with scope to improve and personalise.

Bewdley is often regarded as one of Worcestershire’s best-kept secrets. Its historic riverside setting, Georgian architecture and strong sense of community make it a truly special place to call home. The bustling high street offers an appealing mix of independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs, alongside everyday conveniences including Tesco Express, Sainsbury’s Local, Morrisons Daily and a Post Office.

The town is also home to the much-loved Bewdley Brewery, a firm favourite locally, while the Severn Valley Railway brings heritage steam journeys through the surrounding countryside. The beautiful River Severn is just moments away, host to the highly regarded Bewdley Regatta and a focal point for riverside walks and leisure. The Wyre Forest lies nearby, offering extensive woodland walks and cycling routes. The surrounding area has even provided a backdrop for film and television productions over the years, a testament to its timeless character.

Offered with no upward chain, the accommodation comprises a reception room, kitchen and sun room to the rear overlooking the garden. To the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefitting from built-in storage, along with a shower room. The property further benefits from gas-fired central heating and partial secondary glazing. It is fair to say the home now requires updating, but it offers clear potential for improvement in a highly desirable location.

To the rear, the property enjoys a private, partly walled garden, providing a pleasant and manageable outdoor space.

Beyond this, the home backs directly onto the beautifully maintained Jubilee Gardens. These communal gardens are immaculately kept, with sweeping lawns, mature planting and a tranquil fish pool. They host a variety of outdoor events throughout the year and provide access to the museum and its much-loved café, creating a uniquely charming setting behind the property.

Viewings are highly encouraged to appreciate the position, potential and lifestyle on offer.
