SELLER INSIGHT

Oakland Hall is a stunning property nestling in two acres of tranquil garden and softly bordered by the mature trees of the forest boundary. The present owners Ian and Wendy, describe first seeing the impressive façade with its elegant bay windows and atrium. Wendy says it was a sparkling Autumn day and they just looked at the house before them and knew it was to be their home. Oakland Hall has been a much loved family home for thirty years.

As you step into the large reception hall you have an immediate sense of the size and welcoming ambience of the house, where the rooms combine comfort and sophistication. The kitchen is the busy daily hub, and the snug provides the perfect place to relax and watch TV; The owners redesigned the atrium which, with its tall windows, creates a lovely, chic space within the house, and is the perfect setting for the huge annual Christmas tree.

There are many charming features in the house. There is a bar off the lounge, and the actual bar came from the Belfry Golf Club. The dining room has a working cast iron range. Ian says the charm and easy flow of rooms round the courtyard and make Oakland Hall the perfect party pad. He recalls parties and coffee mornings when large numbers of guests enjoyed the house.

The garden is a mix of lawn and colourful borders with the forest trees creating a fabulous backdrop. Wendy has loved watching the busy wildlife in the garden and recalls seeing a white stag on two occasions and deer on Christmas morning. You can simply sit and savour the beauty of your surroundings.

Oakland Hall benefits from a tranquil village edge location. Far Forest has a primary school, a pub and a shop, with activities centred round the village hall. It is three miles to Georgian Bewdley on the River Severn, whilst Ludlow and Kidderminster are short drives away. The area also offers the most glorious walking country

Ian and Wendy are moving to be near family and will sorely miss the house, their friends and the area that has given them so many happy years. Oakland Hall is a very special property.*
