Location

Whilst The Lodge is situated in rural South Worcestershire, it is far from isolated and enjoys excellent transport links to major centres. While the beautiful local towns of Pershore (4 miles), Great Malvern (13 miles), Worcester (9 miles) and Upton upon Severn (5 miles) are within striking distance, the M5 motorway (accessed via J1 of the M50 or J7 at South Worcester) provides for ready access to Birmingham and the International Airport (43 miles) and the M40. The M5 south also provides for a commute to regency Cheltenham, Gloucester and Bristol.

London is a direct journey by rail, with a rapid rail route to Paddington from the recently opened Worcestershire Parkway station, less than four miles from the property and with extensive on-site parking for commuters. There are also mainline railway stations at Worcester, Pershore and Great Malvern.

The Cotswolds are close at hand, with the popular village of Broadway 17 miles away, while Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon and its renowned theatre is just 25 miles away. Education in both the private and state sectors is a strong point locally, with particularly sought after independent schools in nearby Malvern, Worcester and Cheltenham.

Description

The Lodge is a distinguished Grade II listed former gatehouse located in the picturesque village of Severn Stoke, Worcester which has been extended and refurbished to an exceptional standard. The original structure was built around 1840, this unique property showcases Tudor-style architecture and offers a rare opportunity to obtain a truly unique property.

The stylish, bespoke design affords a modern lifestyle with an array of outstanding features together with high-end finishes. The heart of the property is the open-plan kitchen/dining/living area which has far-reaching, expansive views of the immediate escarpment. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units, integrated appliances, cabinetry and a striking central bar. Furthermore, there are three/four bedrooms, of which the principal bedroom is served by a beautifully-appointed en suite. In addition there is a stylish bathroom and a utility room.

The outside space is an attractive feature of the property, turfed but not yet laid to lawn, the countryside views are of particular note, stretching as far as the eye can see. The drive sweeps to the central courtyard (providing parking for several vehicles) and leads to the impressive freestanding double garage.

Historic Significance: Originally part of The Croome Estate, The Lodge was designed by James Wyatt, potentially based on an earlier design by the renowned architect Robert Adam.
