Seller Insight

This impressive, three storey, Georgian property is located along a quiet lane in a charming rural setting within the village of Upton Warren. A traditional Shrewsbury farm house which has been meticulously cared for by its present owners since it became their adored family home twenty-five years ago.

“Coming to view down its impressive drive, it was love at first sight and, on viewing each room, we can only describe the house as being a chocolate box of delights as we journeyed through. The house, built in 1815, follows a classic Georgian style and is full of natural elegance and charm, with each room being well proportioned and symmetrical in size and layout. The house was somewhat tired when we moved in but, throughout the years, and respecting its unique past, we have renovated, tweaked and enhanced our home into one which has become an outstanding family home; one full of luxuries and comforts containing a blend of tradition and new which blend beautifully together. The house has adapted to our needs over the years and, having the luxury of such amount of space, there has always been room for individual activities, including band practice, but also quiet study areas. A brilliant house in which to entertain and there have been numerous happy gatherings throughout the years. The first floor has the luxury of rooms which can be opened up into one sociable area and is a favoured space for entertaining.”

“Our day to day living space is on the ground floor with rooms which present a special sociable flow. We added an orangery which expands this area and is the perfect spot to enjoy cups of coffee and observe the garden. Leading from here there is a delightful space, recently utilised as a studio but its potential is endless. Our garden blends in seamlessly with the house and is a space in which to relax, particularly our courtyard patio which is an idyllic spot for al fresco dining, or family BBQs.”

“The village is conveniently close and our historic Norman church doubles up as a village hall from which many events take place, whilst our friendly local pub is excellent for tasty meals. Both Bromsgrove and Droitwich are within easy reach for a more comprehensive range of amenities. There are numerous and varied activities to enjoy nearby including brilliant golf courses and the nearby reservoir offers a large range of water activities.”

“After loving every second of our life here, it is time for us to move to another adventure and for another family to experience the joys of living in this magnificent house in such a location.”*
