7 bedrooms House in Defford Road, Pershore WR10
Tucked quietly within the heart of Pershore, yet entirely removed from its bustle, this house is one of those rare homes that feels both discovered and remembered. Dating back to circa 1820, this Grade II listed Regency villa sits within approximately 1.2 acres of private, landscaped grounds, bordered by the historic Abbey Park - a setting that feels both central and utterly secluded. Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway with a turning circle, the house reveals itself gradually - a moment of arrival that never fails to impress. Mature topiary, specimen trees, and carefully curated planting frame the facade, creating a sense of quiet grandeur. It is, quite simply, a house of stature - long admired locally, yet surprisingly hidden from view. The architecture is everything one hopes for from a Regency home - high ceilings, large sash windows, elegant symmetry - yet what sets Pershore House apart is the quality of light. A broad south-facing aspect allows sunlight to pour through the principal rooms, while the dual aspect ensures a naturally temperate, comfortable environment year-round. The principal reception rooms are beautifully executed. The drawing room is both elegant and inviting - centred around a marble Georgian fireplace and a Vermont Castings Intrepid II wood burner, with bespoke joinery discreetly incorporating media and storage. Triple sash windows and French doors frame uninterrupted views across the garden. The dining room is equally atmospheric with panelled walls, an Adams-style fire surround, and a Vermont gas stove mirroring the warmth of the main reception space. Oak flooring runs underfoot, reinforcing a sense of continuity and flow. A series of interconnected spaces allows the house to flex effortlessly - from formal entertaining to relaxed family living - something the current owners have enjoyed for nearly two decades. At the centre of the house lies a kitchen designed not just for function, but for living A central island anchors the space, complete with De Dietrich induction hob, integrated appliances including an AEG microwave, and multiple power points designed for modern living. Underfoot, honed limestone flooring flows seamlessly into the adjoining sunroom - a beautifully light-filled extension that blurs the boundary between indoors and out. Beyond lies the original Georgian pantry with integral cold store, a rare and charming feature. This is a kitchen designed for gathering - for long lunches, family celebrations, and effortless entertaining. Pershore House has evolved with its owners, offering a layout that adapts to changing needs. A converted hayloft above the garage now serves as a gym, while the study, library, and multiple reception rooms provide quiet spaces to retreat. The library on the landing is a particular highlight - a calm, south-facing room lined with bespoke shelving, offering a moment of stillness within a larger home. The staircase itself is a feature - a French-polished mahogany balustrade winding through multiple levels, reinforcing the sense of scale and craftsmanship throughout. The principal bedroom suite enjoys a south-facing aspect, with a dressing room opening onto a private balcony and an en-suite bathroom featuring original 1930s detailing alongside modern fittings. Further bedrooms are generously proportioned, many with fireplaces, built-in storage, and views across either the formal gardens or towards Pershore Abbey. A top floor provides additional bedrooms and flexibility for guests, family, or workspace. Throughout, there is a sense of privacy and calm - a house that accommodates both large gatherings and quiet moments with equal ease. An attached two-bedroom wing provides exceptional versatility. With its own entrance, kitchen, living spaces, and garden, it offers ideal accommodation for multi-generational living, guests, or income potential (previously advised at approximately £1,400 pcm). Importantly, it retains the ability to be reintegrated into the main house with minimal alteration, offering flexibility for future owners. The grounds are as compelling as the house itself. Extending to around 1.2 acres, they have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of distinct yet connected spaces. A heated swimming pool, surrounded by paved terraces, forms a natural focal point during the summer months, while a Victorian greenhouse with a mature pinot noir vine, ornamental pond, and mature planting add layers of interest throughout the seasons. The boundary adjoining Abbey Park incorporates historic reclaimed stone, reinforcing the property's heritage. Mature trees, hedging, and topiary create a haven for wildlife, while carefully positioned seating areas offer both sun and shade throughout the day.

5 bedrooms House in Naunton Beauchamp, Pershore WR10
Grade II listed farmhouse in a private and tranquil village setting with a detached annexe and around six acres of grounds. Old House Farm stands in the Worcestershire village of Naunton Beauchamp, in a discreet and private setting. Dating from the early seventeenth century, this Grade II listed former farmhouse is timber-framed beneath a tiled roof. It's distinctive black and white elevations give the house an immediate sense of history. The main house extends to approximately 1,948 sq ft of accommodation, with four bedrooms and three individual reception rooms. A detached one-bedroom annexe adds another 650 sq ft, whilst the garage, workshop and extensive carport bring the total floor area to approximately 3,368 sq ft. Beyond lies a particularly useful collection of stables and smaller outbuildings, set within approximately six acres in total. The architecture is rich in character, yet the layout of the house is highly practical for contemporary living with generous living accommodation and plenty of space to work from home. The approach is through gates onto a broad gravelled drive, where the main house, annexe and outbuildings form an attractive, loosely arranged courtyard. Mature trees soften the boundaries and provide a rural backdrop, whilst the historic character of the architecture immediately sets the tone. The farmhouse is of early seventeenth-century timber-framed construction with gabled dormers, casement windows and a tiled roof. The entrance opens into a central hall, with the staircase rising ahead and the principal reception rooms arranged around it. The arrival feels homely and welcoming. This is a house full of character features, that has evolved naturally over four centuries of family life. Three impressive reception rooms give the ground floor both flexibility and space for all the family. At approximately 15 ft by 15 ft 5 in, the study offers a great home office, with an open fire and views out to the garden. It could work equally well as a library or family room. The principal sitting room is the largest reception space, extending to approximately 20 ft 5 in by 14 ft 2 in. Exposed timbers and a fireplace bring warmth and texture, whilst French doors provide a direct connection with the garden. Its scale allows for comfortable everyday living as well as for larger gatherings with family and friends. The dining room sits beyond, forming a natural link between the sitting room and kitchen. Well proportioned and having windows on two sides, it is ideal for dinner parties without feeling detached from the rest of the house. The kitchen is a substantial room of approximately 21 ft 7 in by 12 ft 2 in. Granite work surfaces provide generous preparation space, whilst the Firebird oil-fired range cooker, which was installed in 2020, also serves the main house's heating system. Further appliances include a two-zone induction hob and an Indesit microwave oven. A wood burner, installed in 2021, gives the room a particularly welcoming feel. There is space for informal dining, and doors to the outside make the kitchen practical for accessing the outside space as much as for cooking and entertaining. The adjoining utility room provides a practical space and incorporates a downstairs cloakroom. The staircase rises to a large central landing, from which the four bedrooms and a family bathroom are arranged. The principal bedroom with an ensuite shower room occupies one end of the house and measures approximately 15 ft 5 in by 13 ft 3 in. Its windows draw in views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. Three further bedrooms provide useful flexibility for family and guests. A family bathroom serves these rooms and includes a bath and separate shower. Exposed beams, changing ceiling lines and the outlook across the countryside retain the character of the house upstairs. Standing away from the main house, the annexe is a particular feature of Old House Farm. Arranged over two floors and extending to approximately 650 sq ft, it has an open-plan living area with a kitchen on the ground floor plus a large bedroom and en-suite bathroom above. The accommodation is self-contained, allowing guests or extended family to have their own front door and a degree of independence.
