For sale: House where King Charles II 'escaped the Battle of Worcester'

It is not only rumoured that the Claines-based farmhouse was used by King Charles II but was also owned by Cadbury's in the early 19th century.

Steeped in history, it is believed the original building dates back to the 15th/16th Century and was extended in the Georgian period.

The farmhouse is set in 0.7 acres and is in need of modernisation.

It is on the market with Nigel Poole and Partners for offers in the region of £600,000.

For those who fancy taking on a renovation, there is potential to create one large family home or it could be split into two properties.

A detached barn alongside the three bedroom-property is also ideal for conversion if you get planning consent.

The house can be found on Hindlip Lane and has the imposing original entrance which leads into a hall with quarry tiled floor, cold store and stairs to the first floor.

There are four reception rooms - one with a beautiful marble fireplace and one with a leaded arched window.

The staircase in this part of the house leads to two bedrooms.

It is understood there is a sealed doorway on the landing with additional space for development.

The kitchen has a large larder and a further staircase which leads to another bedroom and bathroom.

The garden surrounds the farmhouse and there are also outbuildings which include the old dairy which is currently used as a workshop and a two storey detached barn with additional outbuilding attached.
