A Charming Retirement Home in the Heart of Bewdley

Stephenson Place | Over 55s Retirement Development | Two Double Bedrooms | Private Garden | No Upward Chain

Tucked away within the well maintained surroundings of Stephenson Place, this delightful two-bedroom retirement home offers the perfect balance of independence, comfort and reassurance, all within easy reach of Bewdley's charming town centre.

A home to enjoy, a setting to appreciate and a lifestyle to embrace.

Stephenson Place is an established and much-loved retirement development, built in 1990 and comprising just 37 homes, including houses and apartments. Its delightful courtyard setting,  with high standard communal gardens provide a welcoming atmosphere and certainly makes Stephenson Place a particularly appealing choice for those looking to enjoy a more relaxed pace of life.

One of the development's most distinctive features is its wonderful position beneath the historic Severn Valley Railway. From this particular property, there is a lovely view up the courtyard towards the railway bridge, where the occasional passing steam train provides a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era. A rather special feature that sets Stephenson Place apart.

A Home Ready to Enjoy

Well presented and maintained terraced home offers well-proportioned accommodation, thoughtfully arranged over two floors.

The entrance porch leads into a comfortable sitting room, a lovely space to relax, entertain friends or simply enjoy a quiet afternoon. An electric fire provides a welcoming focal point, while a useful storage cupboard offers practical space for everyday essentials. The kitchen is conveniently positioned, with pantry and garden access and a ground-floor cloakroom adds to the practicality of the accommodation. Upstairs, there are two generously sized double bedrooms, one with built in wardrobe, providing flexibility for visiting family, hobbies or a comfortable guest room. A modern, refitted shower room completes the first-floor accommodation. Double glazing and gas-fired central heating provide comfort throughout the seasons.

A Private Garden to Make Your Own

A particularly appealing feature of this home is its generous, fully enclosed rear garden. Partly enclosed by traditional brick walls, this lovely outdoor space offers both privacy and plenty of possibilities. Whether you enjoy tending colourful pots and planters, sitting outside with a morning coffee or sharing lunch with friends on a sunny afternoon, there is ample room to make the garden your own.There is also space for a garden shed, ideal for storing tools and those little gardening essentials. For anyone who appreciates having their own outdoor retreat without the demands of a large garden, this is a wonderful addition.

Independence with Reassurance

Stephenson Place has been thoughtfully designed for those aged 55 and over who value their independence while appreciating the reassurance of additional support close at hand. The development benefits from an emergency alarm system, offering peace of mind to residents and their families, together with an on-site warden. The communal grounds are a real credit to the development, with mature planting, neatly maintained lawns and attractive areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Residents' and visitors' parking is also available.

The Best of Bewdley on Your Doorstep

One of the greatest advantages of living at Stephenson Place is its convenient position for Bewdley town centre. With its beautiful Georgian architecture, independent shops, cafés and welcoming riverside setting, Bewdley is a wonderful place to call home. Everyday amenities are within easy reach, making this an excellent choice for those wishing to remain independent without relying on a car. The River Severn, local walks and the much-loved Severn Valley Railway all contribute to the character and charm of this historic Worcestershire town.
