A rare, must-have opportunity set on a large, private plot in a wonderful location close to countryside walks and well-regarded schools. With distant rural views and immense potential, this could offer scope for extension or redevelopment, subject of course to planning consent.

The property itself offers three large bedrooms, three reception rooms, a kitchen with pantry, utility, bathroom, separate WC and additional ground floor WC, alongside detached double garaging. Original features remain, including the charming servants’ bell system, adding character and a sense of history.

Surrounded by wraparound gardens and offered with no upward chain, this is a home of substance, setting and possibility. Structural concerns are noted, and the sale is potentially suitable for cash purchasers only.

INTERESTING INFORMATION
Highclere House is a substantial, characterful period residence, quietly set in one of Bewdley's established residential addresses. Believed to date from the early decades of the 20th century, (Conveyance records of 1923) aligning with the arts and crafts era, the house reflects a time when homes were built with generosity of proportion, solid materials and a clear sense of permanence. Arranged over two principal floors and extending to approximately 1,921 sq ft, the accommodation offers a series of well-proportioned reception rooms, a central kitchen, and a traditional first-floor layout of bedrooms and bathroom facilities. The floorplan reveals a pleasing symmetry and flow, with wide landings, natural light from multiple aspects, and rooms that feel distinctly separate rather than compromised. Throughout the house, original features quietly remain. Deep-set windows, open fireplaces, solid internal doors and gently curved ceilings hint at the craftsmanship of its era.

INFORMATION CONTINUANCE
From the first-floor rooms there are open views across neighbouring rooftops towards the town and surrounding greenery, lending a sense of elevation and outlook that is increasingly rare. The property now requires comprehensive modernisation and refurbishment throughout, offering an exceptional opportunity for a buyer with vision. The scale and layout lend themselves equally well to a sensitive restoration or a more contemporary reinterpretation, subject to the usual consents. There is ample scope to reimagine kitchens and bathrooms, reconfigure reception spaces, and breathe new life into the fabric of the house while retaining its underlying character. Highclere House will appeal to those who understand that the best homes are not bought finished, but made. It is a house with history, presence and proportion, waiting patiently for its next chapter to be written.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The property formed part of a broader phase of interwar residential development in Bewdley, when substantial detached houses were constructed for professional and middle-class families seeking larger homes on the edge of the town. Ownership records show a typical pattern of private residential occupation, with the house passing through a small number of long-term owners rather than frequent turnover. This is consistent with properties of its scale and era, which were designed as permanent family homes rather than speculative or short-term dwellings. There is no documented association with nationally recognised figures, nor any indication that the house was built for a single prominent individual. Instead, its significance lies in its architectural integrity, generous proportions and its contribution to the character of High Clere area as it developed in the early 20th century.
