3 bedroom chalet
Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
- Freehold Plot With No Site Fees
- Available with no upwards chain
With around 300 metres of privately controlled coarse fishing on the banks of the Severn, the location is not only an angler's paradise but is also an idyllic and pictureque escape from the rat race, ideal for those seeking a quieter lifestyle and a change of pace.
Uniquely, the freehold of the site is owned and managed collectively by the residents' own limited company, Larford Farm Estates Ltd, which means that there is no annual pitch fee or site rent payable. Indeed there is no third party involvement in any aspect of the site whatsoever. There is no age restriction on occupants and pets are allowed.
Sunbeam is a traditional timber holiday chalet originally dating back to circa 1900, later extended and then extensively rebuilt in 2005. The property has been in the same family ownership for many years and is now offered to the market with no upwards chain and great potential to update and upgrade as required.
The chalet stands back behind a picket fence and lawned foregarden, with a wide canopied front porch providing a pleasant sitting out area overlooking the meadow. To the rear is a small paved patio area and metal garden shed.
Featuring three bedrooms, a shower room and an open plan central living room/ kitchen, the layout could also of course be reconfigured to suit the purchaser's own requirements.
The kitchen area features a work surface with sink unit, Santon Aquarious electric water heater and integral electric oven & hob, with double doors opening out to the rear. The shower room includes a pedestal hand basin, wc and tiled cubicle with Neptune electric shower.
Windows are all upvc glazed. Mains electricity and water are connected, and drainage is to a septic tank newly installed in 2021. Council tax is payable to Malvern Hills District Council, rated as Band A.
The general communal upkeep of the site necessitates an annual maintenance charge divided equally between the residents, currently set at £300 per annum for each property. An in-house managed syndicate at Larford Farm Estates offers coarse fishing along the River Severn for £35 per annum.
The purchaser of Sunbeam will acquire the outright freehold ownership of the plot in which Sunbeam stands, together with a 1/51 share of the whole of the communal land, encompassing a secure gated access lane leading to two car parks and the riverside meadow, the total area being circa 6 acres.
Most of the properties at Larford Farm, including Sunbeam, are classified in planning terms as holiday homes and can be used as such all year round without restriction. It is worth noting that certain properties on the site have been reclassified as permanent residential dwellings after obtaining a certificate of lawful use from the local authority planning department.
The property can be approached by car over the meadow, with informal parking outside. There is also a separate access track running to the rear of the property with potential to create additional parking spaces and a garden gate. This would be advantageous in the winter months when the field may at times become waterlogged or inaccessible for vehicles.
Sunbeam is situated on the side of the field furthest away from the river, though it should be noted that various chalets at Larford Farm have occasionally suffered from water ingress at times when river levels have peaked and flooded the meadow. A number of chalet owners in recent times have mitigated this risk by raising up their properties on supporting brick pillars.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 9, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
