Location

Welcome to Besford Court, an exclusive Grade II* residence within the popular and private community of Besford Court Estate. Besford is situated within the glorious East Worcestershire countryside and is close to the attractive Georgian town of Pershore. The historic town benefits from all the usual high street shopping/amenities and a weekly covered market. It also enjoys a Community Arts Centre and its medieval Abbey is a beautiful landmark.

A direct railway provides service to London Paddington, or indeed, Worcester, Hereford and Birmingham. The property falls within approximately 7 miles of the cathedral city of Worcester which is a hive of activity and provides excellent shopping, leisure and cultural needs. Worcester has rugby at Sixways, County and International Cricket and Horse racing upon the banks of the River Severn.

Worcestershire is a county famed for fantastic schooling and the property is very well placed for a number of independent schools including the Kings School, RGS and The Grange School in Worcester, Bromsgrove School, Malvern College and Cheltenham College. However, more locally there are some excellent local schools within the catchment of the property including the Defford Church of England or the Drakes Broughton Church of England First School which both feed into Pershore High School and the local RHS College.

Besford Court is approached along a network of delightful rural lanes and entered through a main driveway which passes other properties before approaching the parking area. The local bus service passes the entrance of the Estate.
