THIS Grade II listed house with an interesting history has just gone on the market - and it will set you back just under £1million.

The current owners have completely refurbished and renovated the London Road property though it still manages to retain its period charm.

But it is a previous owner of note who added some of the touches which make this detached six bedroom home so special.

Historical research reveals that the house was originally owned by Scottish entrepreneur Robert Hardy.

He came to Worcester in 1814, co-founding the world-renowned iron foundry Hardy & Padmore.

Many of their fine castings can still be seen in Worcester including The Great Western Railway Bridge across Foregate Street, Cripplegate Park fountain and the clock opposite The Guildhall.

The London Road house also still has an ornate cast iron porch and two original cast iron fireplaces believed to be designs from one of the foundry’s early pattern books.

These are not the only original features of the stunning family home which is currently on the market with Fisher German for £985,000.

Dating from circa 1830, it also boasts the original entrance door with a feature ‘Cathedral glass’ stained glass window.

In the main hallway you will find an authentic Victorian black and white tiled floor while one of the three reception rooms is believed to have formerly been the scullery.
