Hayden Estates have, over the years, seen many wonderful inspiring homes of all shapes, sizes and prices. Some in the very centre of towns, whilst others are extremely rural with no neighbours, apart from a flock of sheep. However, rarely are we overwhelmed by a family home, but we are immensely proud to be able to bring to the market, this outstanding period home, Arbour House.

There is evidence to support that a stone cottage was built here in the 1600s. It is understood it was extended substantially in 1804. The impressive brick built exterior stands the test of time and weather. It hasn't been extended since and for many years was a working farmhouse. However, it has, in the latter years undergone refurbishment of the highest level. The current owners are to be congratulated on the presentation of their home, which is offered for sale today.

No expense has been spared with high quality fittings and fixtures added. This was to be the family home for years to come.

Some remodelling of the internal space has taken place and additional land has since been added to the external footprint. Otherwise, the property is presented as it was circa 220 years ago.

A change of direction has meant Arbour House is available to a new buyer, safe in the knowledge that the property has been maintained and finished to an exemplary standard.

Arbour House, nestles majestically at Nib Green, Arley and abuts the common land, the majority of which is protected under SSSI and overseen by Worcestershire Wildlife. The area boasts some outstanding flora and fauna and borders the Wyre Forest. Fantastic for those who enjoy an active outside lifestyle. However, please don't think the property is isolated, it forms part of a community with other residents, the village hall and local pub serving food, all located nearby.

Bewdley is approximately 4 miles away by car. The River Severn and Arley Station, which forms part of the historical Steam railway, Severn Valley Railway, is less than a mile away. there is a footbridge over the Severn to the other side where you can find the wonderful Arley Arboretum, a tea room, shop and post office. 

There are numerous public footpaths and beautiful walks directly accessible from Arbour House.  You certainly never tire of the scenery that's for sure!

The property has a driveway in front of the double garaging, with a second gated driveway to the side of the house with surplus parking for many vehicles. There is pedestrian access all around the property. 

Once within the grounds, you begin to absorb the unrivalled views of the forest at the side and rear. The changing seasons and the admiration of the beauty in the trees. Beautiful sunsets, the birds of prey souring high above waiting on their prey. And all of this can be enjoyed from your very own large garden.

Fully enclosed and boasting lawn, well stocked planted bed, orchard/ paddock with two Plum and three Apple trees and all fenced. Spacious Indian stone patios, free standing arbour, ideal for shade or hot tub perhaps. Purpose built barbecue area, large detached summer house, currently set up as a bar. Having its own consumer unit. This really is perfect outside space for entertaining as well as just chilling and relaxing. Raised beds, ideal for vegetables, greenhouse and storage sheds.

The grounds are well lit with external water and power located around the house. The property also has CCTV which will be included with the sale.

There is no mains gas in the countryside, however an LPG tank is situated inconspicuously within the garden. The LPG provides the central heating and hot water. The drainage is provided by a septic tank. Water is rated and payable to Severn Trent.

And now back to this imposing spacious home circa 2500sqft excluding the cellar! We are sure you are itching to explore in more detail.

Extensive exposed structural timbers add to the charm and can be found in most rooms. There are Three large reception rooms, one having imposing inglenook fireplace with Clear View wood burning stove. The other two rooms have mock wood burning stoves. Complimented further with an office, a high end kitchen with granite counter tops and integral appliances. Spacious utility/ boot room and cloakroom. The cellar is the size of one of the reception rooms. Stone flooring can be found within Arbour House, which is a nod to the houses past.

To the first floor with four bedrooms, one with quality fitted furniture and en suite facilities. Hotel style bathroom having both large bath and shower cubicle. To the second floor where one discovers a multi functional room with immense eaves storage. Perfect as a playroom, office or sitting room, or even conversion into a sixth bedroom with minimal work to reinstate the doorway. On this level there is a cloakroom and another double bedroom.

Everything has been upgraded, the double glazed oak style UPVC windows, with monkey tail wrought iron handles, Solidor composite front and utility doors. The utility one being a stable door. Internally doors all match and are oak.

To the side is a double garage with electric roller shutter door to frontage. The roof has been replaced in the last five years.

Nothing has been left to chance, if it needed doing, it has been. Replastering, rewiring, extra sockets in rooms and plumbing. Some sockets even having USB ports. Insulation where able has been upgraded or added. An electric water shut off under the kitchen sink just one of those extremely practical things.
