This charming seven-bedroom family home showcases a multitude of Georgian features including the large sash windows, high ceilings, and traditional reception hall.

The expansive internal space couples well with the pristine lawns and walled garden externally, with private rear courtyard parking.

The agent Fine & Country, Droitwich says since moving in, the owners have made extensive improvements to the property.

A guide price of £1,495,000 has been listed by the agents.

“We have done plenty to put our own stamp on the house and make it our ideal home,” they say, “whilst retaining the period charm and grandeur which we love so much.

"Outside, the generous gardens are beautifully kept and catch the sun all day, so there is always a warm spot to sit and relax amidst the greenery, or to enjoy an al fresco meal with family and friends."

The location of the property is set within a sought-after conservation area close to Britannia Square.

“We have the best of both worlds here,” the owners say, “being within convenient walking distance from Worcester’s bustling city centre, yet also able to enjoy a peaceful morning walk along the river by Pitchcroft Racecourse.

"We have the benefit of peace and quiet here, with picturesque parks nearby, and conversely, easy access to local Grammar and Primary schools, city centre shops, and the nearby doctor’s surgery. Railway services are available close at hand, at Worcester Shrub Hill and Worcester Foregate Street stations.”
