Description:

Charming Grade II listed detached home set on an historical estate, with private gardens and access to approximately 35 acres of communal grounds including a tennis court.

Location

Dower House is situated in a lovely peaceful position on the historical Besford Estate, the home of Besford Court, a country manor house that is enveloped by 35 acres of beautiful parkland grounds including stunning formal gardens, a communal tennis court, community hall and extensive open spaces. Besford Court is a Grade II* listed building, originally built around 1500, and is stated to be the 'last, great, gothic English country house'. For many years it was a Catholic school and then converted into luxury apartments around 2001. This beautiful and sought after area is surrounded by lovely countryside. The historic Croome Estate may be found some 2.6 miles to the West, with its restored "Capability" Brown Park and palladium Mansion. Besford is four miles from the market town of Pershore which offers a good range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities. Trains run from Pershore station to London Paddington taking about two hours. 6 miles away is Upton-upon-Severn, famous for its festivals, marina and gastro pubs. The City of Worcester is 10 miles North. The neighbouring village of Defford offers a local pub, sailing on the River Avon and active village hall. The area also gives access to Cheltenham and its Racecourse (21 miles South), Broadway (16 miles), Stratford-upon-Avon (23 miles) and Great Malvern and The Malvern Hills (15 miles). The M5 motorway (accessed via J1 of The M50 or J7 at South Worcester) provides for ready access to Birmingham and the International Airport (41 miles) and the M40. The M5 South also provides for commuting to Cheltenham, Gloucester and Bristol (61 miles). The newly opened Worcestershire Parkway Railway station, situated to the east of Worcester and only 4 miles from Besford, is intended to increase the capacity to London as well as reduced journey times. This will have a significant impact on Worcestershire's accessibility to the Capital and other regional centres.
