There are some homes where the setting is every bit as memorable as the house itself, and The Weir House is certainly one of them. Tucked away at the end of a quiet country lane in the peaceful village of Elmore, with the River Severn close by and open countryside stretching beyond, this is a home that feels wonderfully removed from everyday life while still being within easy reach of Gloucester.

Lovingly restored and enjoyed by the same family for nearly 50 years, the property offers a wonderful balance of character, warmth and flexibility, with accommodation arranged over three floors. Throughout the house, windows frame views across the gardens, surrounding countryside and towards the river.

The entrance hall gives access to the sitting room, dining room, fitted breakfast kitchen, utility room and cloakroom, with stairs rising to the first floor.

The sitting room is a particularly welcoming room, with windows to both the front and rear allowing plenty of natural light to flow through. An impressive inglenook fireplace with inset wood-burning stove creates a lovely focal point and gives the room a warm, comfortable atmosphere.

Leading from here is a further reception room, currently used as a snug, library and music room. With direct access to the garden, this is a beautifully versatile space which could work equally well as a home office, playroom, reading room or additional sitting room.

The dining room offers plenty of space for a generous dining table and is perfectly placed for family meals and entertaining. A window takes in views towards the River Severn and surrounding countryside, creating a particularly lovely backdrop.

The fitted breakfast kitchen is well suited to the character of the house, with traditional-style cabinets and an impressive Everhot range cooker. There is also space for a breakfast table, making this a relaxed and sociable room for everyday use.

The utility room provides excellent practical space and sits alongside the ground-floor cloakroom, completing the accommodation on this level.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where there are four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate shower room.

Bedroom One is a spacious and characterful double room, enjoying beautiful views towards the River Severn. An ornate fireplace, exposed beam and useful built-in wardrobe areas add further charm. Bedroom Two is another bright and well-proportioned double room, with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

Bedroom Three is another attractive double room overlooking the gardens and is positioned conveniently beside the separate shower room, making it ideal for guests or flexible family living. Bedroom Four is a pleasant single room with an outlook across the front and towards the river beyond.

The second floor provides further useful and flexible accommodation. The large attic room offers excellent additional space, while the adjoining room is currently used as a home office. Together, the two rooms could lend themselves to a variety of uses, whether as additional bedroom space, a teenage retreat, hobby room or simply a quieter area away from the main living accommodation.

The Weir House is a home full of warmth and individuality, where the accommodation, setting and views come together beautifully to create something very special.

Agent’s Note: A sewage treatment plant was installed in March 2026. Since 1996, The Weir House and the two neighbouring properties at Weir Green have been protected by flood defences designed, installed and maintained by the Environment Agency.

The grounds surrounding The Weir House are every bit as appealing as the house itself, wrapping around the property and creating a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection to the countryside.

The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and are complemented by established trees, mature planting and productive vegetable areas. A greenhouse and summerhouse add further charm, while a choice of terraces provide lovely places to sit, dine and enjoy the sunshine and far-reaching views throughout the day.

A single garage is positioned at the front of the property, before a five-bar gate opens onto the private driveway. The driveway then continues alongside the house, providing generous off-road parking and access into the grounds beyond.

One of the standout features of the grounds is the substantial detached two-storey brick outbuilding. Offering excellent space over two levels, it lends itself to a variety of uses such as a workshop, studio, home office, gym or creative space, subject to any necessary consents.

There is also a charming brick-built garden store, understood to have originally served as the property’s privy, together with extensive log storage and further productive planting areas, all adding to the practicality and character of the outside space.

With the River Severn fo
rming such a beautiful backdrop and open countryside beyond, the gardens at The Weir House offer a magical setting in which to relax, entertain, garden and enjoy the changing seasons.
A Note from Our Vendors

“Weir Green is a wonderfully peaceful part of the quiet rural village of Elmore, set on the banks of the River Severn. We are surrounded by open countryside and enjoy the most beautiful, ever-changing views across the river and surrounding fields towards Gloucester Cathedral.

“We have loved living in this very special family home for nearly 50 years, watching it evolve alongside our family and creating so many treasured memories here. It has been an incredibly difficult decision to leave, but the time has come for us to move to somewhere a little smaller.

“There are lovely country walks directly from the door, particularly along the Severn Way or through the village to the award-winning Wholly Gelato at Barhouse Farm. For those who enjoy cycling, there is also a pleasant seven-mile circular route along quiet country lanes through Longney and back home—and it is not too challenging!

“Despite the wonderfully peaceful setting and the abundance of nature and wildlife surrounding us, everyday amenities remain within easy reach. The Pilot Inn is approximately five minutes away by car, while Tesco and the Severnvale Shopping Centre can be reached in around ten minutes. Gloucester city centre and its railway station are approximately 20 minutes away.

“We will miss The Weir House enormously and hope its next owners will love both the home and its remarkable setting every bit as much as we have.”
