Bedrooms: 4
Dating from the mid-18C, The Coach House has a fascinating history and was originally designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown as part of the stables complex of Croome Court, the former historic home of the Earls of Coventry. While the Grade 1 Listed Mansion House and Park are under the stewardship of the National Trust, the former stables area now comprises a prestigious group of private freehold residential properties.
With spacious accommodation over three floors, The Coach House is ideal for those seeking a period home but with all the comforts of modern living; perfect either as a principal family home or a substantial country retreat for city dwellers, with easy access to road, rail or air transport links.
This stunning property comprises generous light and spacious reception rooms, a luxury bespoke kitchen/breakfast area, large conservatory/dining area and four double bedrooms, all en-suite. The Coach House is also one of the few Croome residential properties that has its own landscaped and secluded garden, including a generous summerhouse. A double garage and additional parking area are immediately adjacent to the property.
CROOME COURT
The approach to the property for residents and their guests is most impressive. Entry to the private residential areas of Croome Court is via the Grade 1 London Arch, designed by Robert Adam, fitted with the original massive cast iron gates that are now remotely controlled to provide security and privacy to residents.
The driveway sweeps down through a tree-lined avenue, opening to a vista of the Park and Mansion House, with views of the Malvern Hills beyond, before entering the private residential area.
While all Croome residential owners have free access to the adjacent 730 acre National Trust Croome grounds and historic buildings, the NT visiting public are excluded from the residential areas, affording residents privacy and security.
LOCATION
Croome is situated in a secluded rural area of Worcestershire but enjoys excellent transport links to major centres. The M5 motorway (accessed via J1 of the M50 or J7 at South Worcester) provides for ready access North to Birmingham, the International airport (43 miles) and the M40. The M5 South also provides for a commute to regency Cheltenham (21 miles), Gloucester and Bristol. London is a direct 2 hour journey by rail, with hourly weekday inter-city services to Paddington from Worcestershire Parkway station, some 5 miles from the property, which has extensive on-site parking for commuters. There are also mainline railway stations at Worcester, Pershore, Great Malvern and Malvern Link.
The nearby charming Georgian Market Town of Pershore (4 miles) offers everyday amenities. Further extensive shopping, services and cultural venues can be found in the cathedral City of Worcester (9 miles), Great Malvern (13 miles) and Regency Cheltenham (21 miles). Highly regarded private educational institutions in Worcester, Malvern and Cheltenham cover nursery/pre-school through to Sixth Form.
