History of the property - Glenmore House is a period property although its early history is uncertain. Local historians believe there was a building on the site in the early 1600s, or possibly slightly before, which was the farm house for one of the small farms which surrounded Wyke Manor. The manor itself is over 500 years old and was at one time owned by Catherine Parr, the sixth wife of Henry VIII.
Although it is not obvious from the outside, the core of the house (the hall, front rooms, current lounge and bedrooms over) still contains parts of the original wattle and daub construction and there is a small quantity of horse-hair plastering in the loft. The original house was three stories with servants living under the roof and there are still signs of the original attic staircase visible in the loft.
The owners have been told that village dances were held in the hall of Glenmore House between the 1950s and 1980s.
Glenmore House was extended in 1977 which added the current kitchen and part of the dining room with the bedrooms above.
The accommodation comprises of a reception hall with an inglenook fireplace, cloakroom, 22’5 x 14’4 living room with a grand sandstone fireplace, sitting room with exposed beams, charming sung with an additional inglenook fireplace, office / study with fireplace, dining room, store / gun cupboard, kitchen / breakfast room with access to a pantry, boot room and shower room.
To the first floor is a multi-level characterful landing with exposed beams, bedroom one with an en-suite bathroom, bedroom two with a walk-in wardrobe, three further double bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom and separate W.C.
The generous walled garden has been fully landscaped creating a wonderful outside space having a gated entrance to the driveway area and a lovely summer house. To the rear of the property, access via the driveway, is a spacious courtyard area with access to the boot room and the boiler room.
The front of the property is located on Main Street. The vehicular entrance to Glenmore House is located at the end of the garden and follows around the grounds of the property to a spacious parking area and a detached double garage.
The property also benefits from wooden parquet flooring, mains gas fired central heating and hot water via a Worcester / Bosch pressurised water system installed in 2017, double glazing throughout and access to high-speed broadband internet.
Wick is a popular and sizeable village which lies just to the east of Pershore. The village has a church, playing field and an active village/social club where a wide range of activities take place.
Wick is located in the district of Wychavon in the southeast of Worcestershire. Records of the
settlement date from Saxon times, the earliest being 709AD when the seven farms that made up "Wikewane" were granted to Bishop Egwin of Worcester for his newly created monastery in Evesham. Parts of Wick had belonged to the land of Pershore Abbey that was confiscated in the 11th century by Edward the Confessor and given to Westminster Abbey.
The market town of Pershore is Georgian styled and provides high street shopping facilities and supermarket together with an indoor market and leisure complex. The river Avon runs to the east of the town lending itself to scenic walks and leisure pursuits. There are two medical centres and hospital and town library, together with excellent educational facilities within the area. Pershore has Number 8 which is run by voluntary help and provides theatre activities, a cinema, ballet and yoga classes and is very much a part of Pershore community living.
Pershore train station or the newly constructed Worcestershire Parkway Station provides links directly to London Paddington or Worcester Shrub Hill travelling on to Birmingham. The motorway is approximately nine miles distant at Worcester junction 7 of the M5, bringing Birmingham to the north and Bristol to the south within commutable distance. Other main centres are Stratford-upon-Avon with the theatre and racecourse, Cheltenham with National Hunt horse racing and the Everyman Theatre and major main shopping facilities, Worcester with famous Cathedral and equally famous cricket club together with the River Severn and good shopping centre.
