Hartlebury, Worcestershire

This magnificent early Edwardian country residence, built in 1903, perfectly combines period grandeur with the practicalities of modern living. With its classic late Victorian proportions, exceptional presentation and flexible layout, it is ideally suited to those seeking a multi-generational living arrangement. 

Complementing the main residence, the detached Coach House comprises two beautifully appointed apartments, currently generating a successful income stream as holiday lets. The apartments offer considerable scope as guest suites, workspace for those working from home, or additional family living quarters. 

Approached through electric gates via a sweeping driveway, the property makes a striking first impression. Step inside and you are welcomed by a grand reception hall showcasing beautiful original Minton flooring and exquisite stained-glass detailing. 

The ground floor offers three reception rooms, including two distinctive sitting rooms. The first provides a large, informal family sitting room, perfect for every day living, with an original, marble fireplace. The second is a richly characterful snug, featuring floor-to-ceiling oak panelling, ornate ceiling and a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and atmospheric space in which to relax. The elegant dining room is full of period charm and provides a wonderful setting for both formal occasions and family celebrations. 

At the heart of the home lies the impressive kitchen, designed with both cooking and entertaining in mind. A substantial central island provides generous preparation space and a natural gathering point for family and guests. During the warmer months, doors open directly onto the gardens, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.  

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress. The principal suite benefits from a dressing room and en-suite bathroom, creating a peaceful and private retreat. Two further bedrooms and a bathroom are arranged around an exceptional landing, illuminated by a spectacular stained-glass window that serves as a striking focal point. 

A substantial wing of the house is currently arranged as a self-contained annexe, offering an impressive level of accommodation across three floors. Accessed via its own entrance, the ground floor centres around a beautifully designed open-plan kitchen and living space, featuring a bespoke kitchen crafted by a local company and a wood-burning stove. The first floor provides an elegant sitting room and family bathroom, while the upper floor comprises three generously proportioned bedrooms, a second bathroom, a walk-in- wardrobe, and excellent storage. Thoughtfully configured to provide both independence and connection to the main residence, the annexe is perfectly suited to relatives, guests or dependent family members, whilst retaining the option of being reincorporated into the principal house. 

This exceptional family residence is set within approximately 0.75 acres of beautifully landscaped, private gardens in one of Worcestershire’s most desirable villages, with attractive views across open countryside. There is ample space for vegetable gardens, keeping chickens or simply enjoying relaxed outdoor entertaining. An extensive driveway provides ample parking for eight vehicles, and a double garage offers space for two more. 

The location is particularly appealing, with two village pubs and a train station within easy walking distance, while the M5 provides convenient access to Worcester, Birmingham and beyond. 

Properties offering the unique combination of a substantial period residence, self-contained annexe, and established holiday accommodation seldom come to market, particularly in such a desirable village location.
